Haddock Fishing Charters Gloucester, MA

June 1, 2022

Haddock fishing charters Gloucester, MA. We have been enjoying great haddock fishing so far this spring pretty close to home. Only a short boat ride from the dock groups have been having fun catching both haddock, cod , redfish and other species. Always a fun trip as groups are all fishing at the same time, reeling up multiple species of fish in a trip. Going home with beautiful fresh haddock filets is always a great bonus! A great trip for both beginners and advanced fisherman alike.

Cod and Haddock Fishing

The Haddock fishing has been amazing for us so far. Much action to be had as the haddock are quick to bite as soon as your baited clam rig hits the bottom. Lots of laughs and action as multiple people are fishing at once. As always there is a friendly wager among the group for biggest fish which always keeps things interesting. A great trip for family and friends or a company outing, it’s also a great way to cure the cabin fever! Bringing home lots of fresh Haddock is a great bonus as well.

Fishing Season Review Karen Lynn Charters Gloucester, MA

As spring weather is right around the corner, I wanted to reflect on the exciting season Karen Lynn Charters enjoyed! Fishing for Bluefin tuna, Striped Bass, Cod, Haddock and Sharks.

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.

Striped Bass Fishing Charters

Our excellent striped bass fishing we have here off of the Gloucester, MA coastline has made for some exciting trips. 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!

Karen Lynn Charters Gloucester, MA

We often mix in some fishing for cod and haddock, as well as fishing for tuna which we call our combo trip. Which can create some action for the group, if the tuna fishing is looking a bit slow on a given day.

We strive at Karen Lynn Charters to create a fun and relaxed day on the water. As well as always putting in the upmost effort to make it a successful day! Feel free to call or email anytime with any questions at all you may have in regards to booking your trip with Karen Lynn Charters. Thanks!

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!

Enjoy a few nice pictures from our fishing season! Never hesitate to call or email with any questions at all you may have booking your trip with us. Thank you

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

Karen Lynn Charters season is underway and off to a great start! We have been enjoying excellent bottom fishing for cod and haddock, some of the best haddock fishing I have seen. Non stop action on most trips we have even landed six halibut during the last few trips, from never catching one in the past to this is certainly a trend that I hope continues. The Striped Bass have also arrived off the coast of Gloucester and hopefully lots more will continue to keep coming. Tuna fishing season is now open with a few sightings being had offshore and lots of life and bait shaping up off of Gloucester, MA we are hoping for another great season!

Cod and Haddock Fishing Charters Gloucester, MA

April 21, 2009

A great time had by all aboard the Karen Lynn this past Friday and weekend. The Bank is full of life already many whales, birds, and a decent amount of bait. We fished the broken grounds just before the bank. Lots of action always a bent rod lots of shorts to deal with but the keepers do come. As well as a pretty good haddock bite in the deeper water. The fish were hitting jigs at times as well as the bait. If you found the whales feeding the cod were under them eating the scraps. Many cod coming up with small sand eels hanging out of there mouths. The fish and eels are still scattered, I hope soon enough the eels will congregate up to the shoal water and the cod will be right behind them. Sure feels great to be back on the water a great start to the season. High hopes for the 2009 season. The Karen Lynn has many great dates still available,contact First Light Anglers or visit our contact us page to book your trip now. Thanks Capt Collin

First Light Anglers/Karen Lynn Trip May 28th

June 2, 2008

On last Wednesday May 28th, Nat and Derek came out with Collin and I to fish for their first time on the Karen Lynn. Also along were Chris Coombs, who works at the FLA shop and will be a mate on the Karen Lynn this year, and Gabe Davis who was along to shoot some video for us.
We left early and had planned to go directly to the NW corner, but we were faced with sloppy sea’s and wind out of the North, gusting to 30 knots. We quickly realized that we would not be able to shoot good video from the tower drifting in confused and big seas so we decided to striper fish inside until the wind laid down a bit.
We had an awesome morning striper fishing with live mackerel in 160′-190′ of water. We caught and released many fish with Collin and Nat landing the biggest fish, both around 40″. In the afternoon the wind had died and we headed to the bank to ground fish and had good success jigging Cod and Haddock on the corner.
We had a great day and really enjoyed taking Derek and Nat out and letting them get to know the boat, especially in rough weather.Attached are a few pictures I took (unprofessional), but as soon as Gabe Davis (professional) gets us his shots, Derek or I will post more pictures.
