The Lisa and Jake and the Kayman Too Have made a few incredible trips for the Monster Haddock so far! All anglers could not get enough of the great feeling to finally be back on the water.  A few days the bite was slow to start but once they started feeding it was lock and load with many doubles! The Haddock were 7-10 pound average with some larger ones mixed in. Top Haddock so far was 11 pounds, That’s a nice Haddock!
