Cod and Haddock Fishing Charters

Charter fishing for cod and haddock started off great in May with lots of action to be had. This will always help get rid of the cabin fever after a long winter! These trips can be fun as multiple people are fishing at once. The excitement of every time you drop your bait to the bottom you never know what you might reel up. With the big bonus being that haddock is one of the tastiest fish New England has to offer!

After a nice day on the water you can walk your fish up to the outdoor bar at the Cape Ann Marina and have them cook it right up for your group. While you enjoy a drink over looking the beautiful Annisquam river! Cod and haddock fishing can be a bit better early spring. But will continue to be good throughout the summer months.

Starting off in June the striped bass will show up right behind the mackerel just as they always do. There was a good mix of different size striped bass, with some big one’s coming in at over 30 plus pounds. Striped bass has always been one of New England’s favorite fish to catch. As they always put up a good fight and make for some great table fare as well. Karen Lynn fishing charters for Striped bass fishing. Will start in June and will continue to be good throughout the summer months.

Bluefin Tuna Fishing Charters

Our world class Bluefin tuna fishing we have here off our Gloucester, Massachusetts has provided some memorable action throughout the season. As usual large amounts of bait as well as humpback, minke and fin back whales showed up off of Gloucester, MA. The Bluefin tuna is here for the same reason, to fatten up on the vast amounts of bait that gather in the area. As offshore structure such as Stellwagen Bank and Jefferey’s ledge create great areas for ocean life to collect.

Bluefin tuna charters saw a good mix of different size class tuna that showed up off of Gloucester, MA. With our biggest being 112 inches and our smallest being 45 inches. On most days you never know if you will hook into a 800 pounder or a 100 pounder. Just have to be patient and hope the right bunch of tuna swim under the boat. Sometimes it can be a bit of a waiting game. But if it all comes together it will be a experience you wont soon forget!

Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod, Haddock and Shark Fishing Karen Lynn Charters

As a new season approaches, I just wanted to look back on what a great season Karen Lynn Charters had fishing out of Gloucester, MA.

Cod and Haddock Fishing Charters Gloucester, MA

Right off the bat starting in May we enjoyed great cod and haddock fishing with lots of action being had on most days. The haddock fishing was some of the best we have seen and fishing in relatively shallow water too which is always nice! A good handful of sharks showed up as well and they are always looking for a free meal as you reel your catch up off of the bottom, always makes things interesting. Many groups were taking there fresh catch right off of the boat and bringing it up to the outdoor bar at the Cape Ann Marina and they will cook it up however you like!

Striped Bass Fishing charters Gloucester, MA

The Striped Bass fishing was productive with some big Stripers being landed. They always put up a great fight and give the angler a great battle. The Striped Bass started showing up in mid May and it continued to get better from there as the baitfish make there way up to the Gloucester, MA coast. Striped Bass continue to be New England’s favorite and are always a great fish to target and can make for a fun day on the water, as they are great table fare as well!

Bluefin Tuna Fishing Charters Gloucester, MA

We had some great days out Bluefin Tuna Fishing, due to the fact the ocean life off of Gloucester was excellent! Lots of baitfish around, which the tuna show up here for to feed on and to thrive on. Always a great feeling showing up to an area where you see numerous whales and lots of bird activity. Because you always know the tuna are not far behind. A few different size class fish showed up as we caught tuna ranging from 100lbs up to 800lbs. You never know on a given day what size tuna fish is going to bite the line. It is an amazing fishery we have here off of Gloucester, MA. Being part of catching one of these Bluefin tuna is something you will soon not forget. They truly are the gladiators of the ocean!

Karen Lynn Charters Gloucester, Massachusetts

Excellent 2015 charter fishing season aboard Karen Lynn Charters out of Gloucester, Massachusetts! Great all around Tuna, Striped Bass, Haddock and Shark fishing enjoyed by many new and returning clients.

Cod and Haddock Fishing Charters

We started out bottom fishing for Cod and Haddock on May 1, which always creates a fun atmosphere. The fishing was pretty consistent all through the summer. Most trips we are usually anchored up and dropping down rigs baited with clams. You never know what you be reeling up from the deep which keeps things interesting. Almost always we would run into a few Pollock and Cusk to go along with the Cod and Haddock. We also had many trips with Shark encounters. As your reeling up your fish from the bottom they tend to grab it right off the hook or you getting back just the head. Always creates excitement as we keep our shark rod ready to go. We will set someone up in the stand up fighting gear and toss out a bait. More often than not the shark is still hanging around and will take the bait. Makes for a great battle and a unique experience bringing a large Shark up next to the boat!

Striped Bass Fishing Charters

The Striped Bass showed up pretty good starting in late May early June off of the Gloucester shoreline. They tend to produce fun and exciting action on lighter tackle as they always put up a good fight. They can be very aggressive chasing the live bait and coming right out of the water after it. I always enjoy watching clients battle there first Striped Bass as they are usually hooked on fishing shortly after! Striped Bass fishing charters can be a great way to spend the day out on the water.

Tuna Fishing Charters

The World Class Bluefin Tuna fishery we have off of Gloucester, MA proved to be a fairly productive season. On most days we had a good shot at hooking into a tuna, some slower days here and there of course but overall it was good. Lots of bait in most of the areas we fish which is always a good sign and will keep the tuna hanging around and aggressive to feed. A few different size class tuna were in the mix as we caught fish from a 100lbs up to 900lbs. On one trip we hooked into two 600lb class fish at the same time we got lucky and landed them both which was quite the memory for the lucky charter on board! Fishing charters for Bluefin Tuna out of Gloucester, Massachusetts can be a unique experience in itself hooking and landing one will truly create the memory of a lifetime!

Bluefin Tuna Fishing, Striped Bass, Cod and Haddock Fishing Season Review !

January 17, 2015

Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod, Haddock, Shark Fishing Gloucester, MA

We enjoyed some great fishing on the Karen Lynn during the season. Starting off in May with excellent ground fishing for Cod and Haddock, many days with great action and bent rods allowing clients to take home some of the tastiest fish the ocean has to offer. On most Cod and Haddock trips we usually had a run in with a shark. Mostly blue sharks but an occasional Porbeagle or Mako shark would show up which can be an excellent fight as well as good table fare, always exciting seeing a big shark swim up behind the boat.

Striped Bass Fishing Gloucester, MA

A great mix of Striped Bass started showing up in late May right behind the mackerel. Creating some fun and exciting action on most trips with great Striped Bass fishing continuing through June and July. With some Monster Striped Bass being landed, some times it takes patience waiting on that big one to come along but it is certainly worth it. Some big Stripers around this season as we landed a few coming close to the 50 pound mark. The coast of Gloucester offers some great Striped Bass Fishing with the chance of catching a true trophy Striped Bass!

Bluefin Tuna Fishing Gloucester, MA

The Blue fin Tuna offered up some great action with the season running into November. We usually had a good shot at them on most days, some true Giants showed up with our biggest being around 900 pounds. Lots of bait and whales around which is always a good thing. High hopes for new season as new groups and different size class tuna should be showing up. Gloucester offers up some of the best Blue Fin Tuna Fishing in the world, truly a memory of a lifetime seeing one of these fish pulled on deck!

Cod and Haddock Fishing still continues to be pretty good despite the water warming up. Striped Bass trips have been producing pretty good with some monster Stripers being caught, with one client landed a nice 48 inch close to 50lb monster Striped Bass the other day. Striped Bass fishing charters should continue to improve as more fish show up. The Tuna fishing is still a bit behind due to the cold winter we had, expecting that to continue to get better as time goes on. Plenty of great dates left feel free to call me anytime with any questions at all regarding your trip on the Karen Lynn. Thanks
