- First saltwater trip of the year where I go out on a private charter boat with Cape. Rob of Cape Cod Offshore charters. We were out targeting haddock, cod and acadian redfish. I Used a 16oz Norwegian jig and a 5/0 hook on a dropper loop 18" above the Norwegian jig with a 5" orange gulp grub. I did end up with my limit of cod, haddock, a few redfish and a decent cusk. At the end of the video I show how I prep and cook an acadian redfish. The redfish is an excellent flavored fish, in my opinion, needs very little to no seasoning. It is a simple and quick fry to get the fish nice and crunchy. Please like and subscribe!
I've been out haddock fishing out of Plymouth and Gloucester. Plymouth is a long ride out to the grounds, almost two hours each way. Gloucester was about an hour, but then again, we were only doing a 10-knot cruising speed to conserve fuel (I was aboard the Tuna Dot Com on one of his spring haddock charters). As a side note, when I go out for cod out of Rhode Island in the fall, that's an almost two-hours ride out to the grounds early in the season. Once November comes, they stay closer inshore at Block Island, as from November through April, the waters south of Block are a whale migration zone, restricting all vessels to 10 knots.
I always fillet them, I like that you add cooking, it's another dimension. Your recipe is simple but looks delicious.
Dam! Water looks super calm! I woulda used a slow pitch set up!!
Hey! I'm Olia from Ukraine. Now I live in Poland. I'll definitely follow your channel! Keep in touch!
Go Ukraine.
What water depth and jig weight was working best?
200ft to 240ft I was using 16 oz leads
I keep hearing about all these haddock but still those seem so small to me. Where are the vast shoals of four to eight pound haddock??
There were some bigger ones caught about a month later but these were one the small side
Whats the depth when you caught them?
200-240ft I think
Freaking me out that the fish is watching you fillet its guts...
Great vid! Were you on the bank or on the sides? I want to catch some of those redfish. We're out of Scituate south of Boston. Stellwagen is 20 miles to the southwest corner and same to northwest corner. Thanks!
We were fishing the edges I believe.
How long of a boat ride to the haddock grounds ?
From Boston, it was 45min on his regulator on a flat calm windless day.
From Boston, it was 45min on a 23ft Regulator on a flat calm windless day.
What size spinning reel and rod?
10000 size reel and a 7ft rod
Sorry it was one of my first videos and forgot to mention it
Name of the boat, capt contact info
If I don’t want to go out to Stellwagen, will haddock be within the first 5 miles of shore in 100 foot depth?
I’d like to do haddock fishing, but don’t want to make the long trek to/from those popular fishing grounds. If there are haddock closer to the mainland, then it’ll be worth it to me. Thanks
They do sometimes come in close at those depth just outside of Scituate harbor I've heard.
