Meccachusetts Massacre - return trip to Nanfluket and Cape Codfish

[AndyS]

Nothing like YUGE C bass in da summer, no sense going 80 miles and freezing your butts off in December.

Lovely fishing, and great photos!,,, I don't think there;s any magic mojo in these incredible images from the New England trips our members share here,its all about pressure.. just less of it up there, and more fish to be caught by fewer fishermen.. We are no longer used to it in the NY bight, but we had it too at one time.. In any case, great pics of a great trip... bob

Thanks for the Compliment Richie - it's gratifying

I forgot to mention that we even got a few Haddock , not great quantities, not great size but enuff to savor those great eating snow-white Haddock filets.

The non-sponsor boat only has only this one Captain's Special trip in 2017. Next year they plan several. We'd be honored to have you join us next year -
it's always the first weekend in August. . . .

2 days later and still sore!! Definitely a good time for anyone considering the trip. Out of 36 hours you have a legit 26-27 hours of fishing time. The guys who opted not to sleep did just that.

Every time I said I was done for the trip I would pick up a rod 5 minutes later and say "one more".

Need to upgrade my cod stuff. Serves me well but way to heavy. Need a rod reel combo that doesn't weigh 10lbs!!!! Suggestions?

Posting some more pics. No idea how to post the short blue dog vid?

......and when Larry compliments YOUR hat...you know you've made the big time...

Forgot to mention that on day 2 if you had a Sibiki rig you could of loaded up on Boston Mack anywhere from tinkers to 2lbers

Duffman you crack me up. As i must of heard I am done from you at least a dozen times. There are programs out there that can help you. It all starts with acknowlegement of your sickness. My name is Dan i am a fishaholic. Fishing next to you and your 2 friends was an absolute blast as trip is much more enjoyable when you fish with guys who know what you are doing and work together. I will share a rail with you guys anytime. Can not thank Larry enough for the heads up on the trip and for letting me share room with you Steve and Bob. Truly a fun group and a bunch of gentleman. I have been doing the 2 day Nantucket trips for many years now but the combo trip is the way to go do to the variety of fish you can catch. Larry made fun of me when he saw how many coolers i brought. Now you know why as they were all full and still needed t stop to get more ice for the ride home. Physically it is a demanding trip so i give you guys credit fr staying at the rail even under the sporty conditions on Sunday. The Pollack bite at anchor at night was epic as i had 12 fish on my first 13 cast. Going to have to blame Capt Joe for that one as most people were happy to call it a night until he started casting his jig from the top deck and catching pollack. once that happened half the boat came out and the boston Mascarre had began. This will now become a yearly tradition for me until my body says i can not do it any longer.

When I lived in Boston I would do summertime overnighters to Georges Bank out of Gloucester. This was 20 years ago and it looks like nothing has changed. Pull on Cod & Pollock until your arms fall off. Congrats on a great trip guys.
