Cod Fishing Charter aboard Kaman Charters

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Kayman Cod 2Kayman Cod 1Stellwagon to Tillies Banks have been loaded with fish! Top feeding Pollock are the newest addition to the Gulf of Maine. Weekend boaters chasing birds like they do for Bass and Blues are finding schools of Pollock gorging on eels! These Pollock are from 4-20 plus pounds and will put your rod to the gunwale when hooked! This has been a great addition to the already good Cod and Haddock fishing!
Codfish come in by the boatload on some days and are caught only by the skillful anglers on others. Cod in the twenty pound range have been top catch the past week with high catch a 33 lber brought in by Rob Noble of Ct.His catch was a 18lb Pollock on the teaser and his pool winning Cod on the jig. He ate his lunch after that one!
June 9th is the next split trip opening go to www.kaymancharters.com to sign up for this trip!

Gloucester Cod Fishing – AT&T Double Double Headers on Tuna Hunter

The AT&T Guys had a great Gloucester cod fishing charters aboard Tuna Hunter. 

Tuna Hunter Cod 1

A typical of recent charters, the morning was slow, so Tuna Hunter moved around Stellwagen and changed tactics to locate hungry fish. The moves paid off when they dropped jigs and bait into a pod of large cod. double headers of 20 – 30 lb cod kept the guys for AT&T busy for the rest of the day.

The last trip for this crew they landed two giant bluefin tuna   (see photo on our Facebook page).  So of course we are happy to have these guys, and their luck, return for a cod & haddock fishing charter aboard Tuna Hunter.

A gorgeous day, good company, and great cod fishing made for a good time for all. No hugies on this trip, but steady action of keeper cod, limiting out by the end of the day.

We look forward to fishing with these guys in a month or two, when the bluefin arrive. Bluefin tuna fishing is right around the corner!

Cod Fishing Report From Stellwagon Bank

Friday, May 21st, 2010

The Neversink Gun Club guys had a great outing aboard Tuna Hunter – Gloucester Cod Fishing at its finest.

Tuna Hunter ventured to the Mussels on Stellwagon Bank for the early morning bite, then switched to various other cod hot spots to round out the day. Fish responded mostly to jigs this fay, but we all know that changes day to day – Tuna Hunter adapts to keep you catching all day long.

Fisherman’s Outfitter Testimonial

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Branko Lenger Yellowfin

I would like to thank Joe Curcuru and the staff at Fisherman’s Outfitter for their assistance in my recent purchase of my Stand up rod and reel combo. We exchanged some emails and I ended up calling directed to Joe who guided me through to tailor my rod, reel and line selection.

I found Fisherman’s Outfitter after watching a Dennis Braid DVD “Stand up to a Giant” and he made reference to Fisherman’s Outfitter that they can suit your needs so pop in and take a look, he was right a great shop and pleasant professional staff.

The guys loaded my reel and shipped the rod and reel arriving just before my trip from HK to Okinawa Japan where I landed a nice Tuna on stand up gear but nothing Dennis has to worry about yet. The reel screamed and 200yds of top shot disappeared in a flash with my heart pumping in fear hoping the top shot to braid was a good connection and on retrieve a great job by the folks that put the package together.

 I will make sure to visit Fisherman’s Outfitter on my next visit to the US and personally thank Joe and the team and further load up on the great selection of Quality gear.

 

Kind regards,

Branko lenger

Spring Cod Fishing aboard Tuna Hunter

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Spring cod fishing has arrived! Finally we can all get back out on the water for some great bottom fishing.

Phil’s Crew spent a fine day cod fishing last Saturday aboard Tuna Hunter.  They traveled to the Mussels for the morning bite, then moved to various favorite holes around Stellwagen Bank to round out the trip.  Fishing was fantastic -the best bite being early in the day on jigs, but Phil’s Crew reeled in keepers all day long.  Papa was high hook.

Gloucester Cod fishing will be strong all through May and into the summer. Call Tuna Hunter at 978-407-1351 or email captain@tunahunter.com for the latest openings.  Spring is time to fill you cooler, and soak up those gorgeous springs days on the water. Fish Gloucester on Tuna Hunter – we look forward to fishing with you!
