Tuna
Fishing Charters Gloucester, Massachusetts Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod and Haddock
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!

Tuna, Striped Bass, Cod Fishing Karen Lynn Charters 2012 Season Review!
Gloucester, MA Fishing Charters Karen Lynn
The Karen Lynn enjoyed a great 2012 season! Beautiful North Shore weather was upon us most days creating great times spent on the water. Exceptional amounts of life wherever you went. Large numbers of baitfish, the most I have seen in quite some time. This set the stage for some great fishing action!
Cod and Haddock Gloucester, MA
Ground fishing began mid April with many charters enjoying non stop action reeling up nice New England Cod and Haddock. Most of cod and haddock fishing was done in less than a 150 feet of water which is always nice! These trips always make for great fun as multiple people are fishing at once and usually in competition with one another. Not to mention cod and haddock are some of the best eating fish the ocean has to offer!
Striped Bass Gloucester, MA
Striped Bass fishing off of Gloucester, MA was very productive as well, producing many trophy sized Striped Bass. Striped Bass season starts in June. As the bait starts to show up the Stripers aren’t far behind them. There is nothing like seeing a monster bass come up and crash on your bait! It is always a fun time out there going after our most prized game fish the Striped Bass.
Bluefin Tuna Gloucester, MA
The Blue fin Tuna season starts in June as well, what a exciting season it was! Tons of life bait, birds, whales, and of course tuna. A great show of tuna this year with many different size classes of fish showing up right outside of Gloucester, MA. We were very excited to see a good amount of the smaller class fish move in. The school Blue fin Tuna always creates a great opportunity for a exciting day on the water.
Blue Fin Tuna are a very tough fighting and beautiful fish to say the least! The Karen Lynn landed tuna this year ranging from the smallest being 39 inches and the largest taping out at 116 inches. It’s always a exciting trip filled with the anticipation of catching the toughest fighting fish in the ocean. Going home with some of the finest sushi in the world is just a bonus! Reeling in one of these beautiful creatures in is truly a memory that one will not soon forget.
We are looking forward to next season with high hopes of more excellent fishing. Thank you to all our returning and new clients who joined us this year aboard the Karen Lynn Gloucester, MA fishing charters.

Karen Lynn Charters Gloucester, MA
With Spring fast approaching, I just wanted to say thank you to all who joined us aboard the Karen Lynn in 2011! As we enjoyed a great 2011 season , with excellent all around fishing enjoyed by all. Once again the waters off of Gloucester produced world class bluefin tuna, striped bass cod and haddock fishing, with many trophy fish being landed by our charter groups.
We are expecting a early and great start to the 2012 season due to the fact we have had such a mild winter. The Karen Lynn will be back fishing in April excited to get out for some early season ground fishing. High hopes for the upcoming season as it is shaping up to be a good one!
