Spring Has Finally Sprung

Spring has finally sprung here on the North Shore!! The last few weeks have been some of the best haddock fishing I’ve ever seen. The first few trips produced some of the largest haddock I’ve seen as well with many in the high 20″ range. The cod are here in huge numbers as well but are currently off limits, most cod are between 10 and 15 pounds and will wear you out when they come through thick. Both Jeffries and Stellwagen are loaded with bait, sand eels, herring, and mackerel with birds and whales eating them all day. It looks like it’s going to be an early tuna season as the first few reports of sightings are flying through the grapevine. Schoolie bass are here in great numbers. A ton of 8-15 inch babies bode well for the future, but there is a good mix of larger fish here that have followed the herring inshore, and a major bunch of big fish that just hit the cape should be here in the next few days. Charter season is in full swing, please give me a call and we can arrange the best days for striper and tuna trips going forward, and I have a few days left before the haddock move offshore next month. Thanks for visiting!! Capt. Nat Moody
