Friday – All Day Fishing 7am – 4pm Sunday- All Day Fishing 7am – 4pm It was another nice day on the north Atlantic. The sea conditions were a little bumpy around 3 ft out of the north. Our first stop was kind of a mess. We anchored the boat, but the tide was running hard and made the fishing tough. On our second stop we decided to try drifting. It worked out well. We spent the rest of the day drifting in anywhere from 230 ft to 300 ft of water. We had 2 big wolffish that were released unharmed. The average was about 6 keeper haddock per person, with some people having as many as 15. A 8lb cusck won the pool for the day. All in all, a great day of fishing.
First Week of June, Fishing Report
With the arrival of the first of June, came our first 3/4 and 1/2 day trips of the season. For Friday and Saturday the weather cooperated, allowing us to start trying to get a feel for what’s going on in the inshore fishing world. The 3/4 day trips produced some haddock, redfish and Pollack, with a healthy by-catch of cod fish. The half day trips on Saturday afternoon was a little on the slow side, although we did boat some nice haddock.
Our last all day trip was a good one as well, as has been the case this spring. For the superior fishing, you definitely want to get out on a longer trip.
We also had our first private evening cruise of the year on Saturday night. I know this is a fishing report, but, don’t forget that we can accommodate ANY of your groups needs. Saturday night was a birthday cruise, with a live band and beautiful weather.
Sunday was a wash. Weather pattern has been keeping us at the dock for the past three Sundays! AAARRRHHH!

MARATHON FISHING!
The first marathon trip of the year is in the books. Saturday’s trip turned out to be a good one, with the fish count in the low 300’s. We only allow up to 30 people on our limited-load marathons, so we came really close to limiting out.
The fishing wasn’t quite as hot as last weekend, but was steady for most of the day. Out of 8 stops, 3 were duds, and 5 were solid. Again, I personally fished with bait and jig throughout he day, and did very well both ways.
The weather held nicely for us, and we only saw a little rain at the end of the day. All in all, exactly what we were hoping for on the first 12 hour trip of the year.
Unfortunately Friday’s and Sunday’s trips were canceled due to high wind and seas. The upcoming weekend is looking beautiful and trips are filling up fast. Still have our great Spring Special through Monday, Memorial Day. For reservations give us a call at 978 559 1978.

May 13th, Mother’s Day – Fishing Report
Sunday’s trip was one of the best yet. Holy haddock!
With a full boat of 40 people, some would expect that the fishing might be difficult. However, that’s the reason that we cap our trips at 40 on board the Lady Sea; it’s a very manageable number for us. On other boats of similar size, you might find upwards of 65 people, which can make it tough to fish effectively.
Well, with 40 people, our limit is 400 haddock. And on Sunday’s trip, we only came up short of that number by 9. That’s right, we bloated 391 haddock! We made about 5 stops throughout the course of the day, and the fishing was respectable at the first 3. The 4th stop was a dud. But the 5th and final stop of the day was an all out blitz. We have been anchoring and the fish have been coming in waves. The other exciting news is that both bait and jig have been working effectively lately, so no matter which you prefer, there’s something for you.
And lastly, the amount of wildlife that we are seeing all day is borderline unprecedented. Sure, we expect to see a lot of whales feeding this time of year. But it has been nothing short of amazing to see the displays that have been going on for us. Bait boiling the surface, multiple different species of whales and dolphin in the hundreds.
Come get in on the experience while it lasts. Available space on our open boat trips has been going pretty quickly, so call soon.

Friday, May 4th, & Sunday May 6th, 2018 Fishing Reports
Friday and Sunday’s all day fishing trips marked the true beginning of the 2018 spring haddock fishing. Friday’s trip had 24 anglers on board, some experienced and some not. We managed to catch our limit by 1230 in the morning. Just an awesome day of fishing. On top of catching our limit, the size of the fish that we saw were big. More than half of the keepers on board were over the 5 pound mark.
Sunday’s trip was even better, if you can believe it. We had 22 people on board, and we had our limit by 1130. The fish were not quite as big on average as Friday, but quality non the less.
We anchored both days, and didn’t move once. The majority were caught on bait, however the fish were feeding so hard that jigs worked just as well. We don’t know how long this blitz will last, so make sure to make a reservation and come out sooner than later.
Don’t miss out on some great fishing! We continue to have our Spring Special of $56.00, per person. This weeks trips are:

April 28th & 29th 2018 Fishing Report
Both Saturday and Sunday’s trips where very similar this weekend. The weather was vey foggy, with a 10 knot breeze out of the South. We continued to pick at the haddock down on Stellwagon Bank.
Both days consisted of a steady pick in around 130 feet of water, alternating between drifting and anchoring depending on the wind. We made a few stops in deeper water off of the edges, and added some redfish to our catch.
Although the fishing hasn’t been as good as last spring, the anglers who had a feel for what they were doing managed to put their 12 haddock on the boat. There’s also been an abundance of sea life to see everyday. Whales and dolphin were all over the place, adding another exciting attraction to the days.
Don’t forget to call for reservations AT 978 559 1978. We’ll see you soon.

Saturday, April 21st, 2018 OPENIND DAY!
Well, the first weekend of 2018 is in the books. Saturday started off slow, fishing up on Jefferys. However, by the end of the day we put enough haddock on the boat to make a decent trip. Hopefully Sunday’s trip will be more what we hope to expect this spring.
Sunday, April 22nd, 2018 Fishing Report
On Sunday we went down to Stellwagon with a private charter, and had the fishing that we’ve come to expect in the spring aboard the Lady Sea. Drifting in 120 feet of water, with beautiful spring weather, we had a steady catch of haddock all day. Unfortunately we had to contend with some really nice cod fish that we released alive and well, although the action of hooking them was still fun and exciting. All in all, week one was a success.
Call now for our annual Spring Special of $56.00, for an all day trip.

August 23rd, 2017 Half Day Fishing Trip
The afternoon half day trip was another fun excursion on a beautiful day. The weather was perfect, with a 2 ft sea and 10 kts of mild wind. The boat was full of families out to enjoy the ocean. We managed to scrape together some haddock and red fish to bring home for dinner. We also had some nice cod fish that were released unharmed. The fishing was spectacular, but with no dogfish, the experience was great for everyone.
Check the schedule on the website and get out here soon, the end of the season is coming quickly.
