Saturday, July 4th! Fishing Report
Happy independence day from the Lady Sea and her crew.
It was an great 4th on the boat today. The day started out with a decent sea on in the morning, caused by a northeast wind. However, the day got nicer before we even reached the fishing grounds. The anglers on board averaged 9 keepers per person, with the more experienced pushing between 10 and 12. We found the fish in 260ft of water out on tillies ledge, and had to contend with some running tide for most of the day. The weather cleared up even more, and it turned into a beautiful day to be on the water.
Remember, due to covid-19, trips have a limited capacity and are filling up fast. For reservations please call us at 978 559 1978.

Thursday, June 26th-All Day Fishing
Another killer day of fishing aboard the Lady Sea. It was a bit windier today, putting an end to yesterday’s awesome drift. However, the fish still responded well on the anchor. Our first 2 stops were in 230 ft of water, on southern Tillies. The bite was average in the early morning before the tide change. The following 2 stops were a little deeper, about 250 ft. After the tide change the bite was heavy, and well spread out around the boat. We averaged 9 keepers per person, with every group on the boat going home with nice bags of fillets.
Remember……. we are running limited trips due to covid-19, trips fill up fast. For reservations please call us at 978 559 1978.

Thursday, June 25th, All Day Fishing Report
A good day was had by all on the Lady Sea today. 5 kts of westerly wind gave us the perfect opportunity to drift around all day. Although the boat was moving a little quick, the customers got the hang of the technique fast and produced good numbers.
We averaged about 10 keepers per person, exclusively haddock. We did see some decent cod fish as well (all released safely).

Marathon Fishing – June 19th
Todays marathon was a good one, and brought much better results than Thursdays all day trip.
We started our day 22 miles ESE of Gloucester, in about 265 feet of water. The bite was average for the first few stops of the day, not hot and heavy, but steady. Right after the tide change, around 10am, the bite picked up very well. The boat averaged 7 keepers per person.
However, the more experienced anglers pushed 12 to 15 keepers a piece. Good weather and good fishing; that’s what it’s all about.

Thursday, June 18th All Day Fishing
From the best day of the year offshore on Monday, to the slowest day inshore on Thursday.
Today’s trip was a tough one, we just couldn’t get a bite to last on any given stop. We started our day in 270ft of water on northern tillies, and ended in 220ft on southern tillies. We covered 15 miles of bottom at varying depths. The guys on deck managed to scrape up around 50 fish, but they were hard won.
We did see a variety of haddock, cusk and redfish. The less than average catch wasn’t for lack of trying, I guess that’s why they call it fishing.

Weekend Wrap-Up
Fishing this weekend was steady aboard the Lady Sea. There was a good 3 to 4 foot sea all weekend, making for a tougher bite for most customers to feel. However, all 3 days we managed a good 7 to 10 fish average per person.
On Saturday we found a bunch of redfish to add to the numbers, and on Sunday we did the same with cusk.
All in all a good weekend on the high seas.

Today marked the start of our season. With only ten people on the boat, it was an awesome day for fishing. A big ground swell in the morning subsided to a small roll by the afternoon, as the clouds brightened throughout the day.
The haddock bite was strong. The anglers managed to put over 120 keepers on the boat.
Don’t miss out on the chance to fish the Lady Sea with so few people and so much space. Call and make a reservation, trips are filling up fast.
Also, don’t forget about our 1 day overnight trips starting in June; lots of fishing time, and double limits.

Wednesday morning we had a great group of fathers who chartered the boat to take their sons out fishing before school starts up again. It was a little bit bumpy on the water, with a steady northeasterly wind. It was manageable though, and the boys handled it well. The fishing was average, catching haddock, cusck and Pollock in 220 ft of water to the east of Gloucester.
Wednesday afternoons half day trip saw the weather start to lay down, making for a nice afternoon once the sun popped out. With 30 people on board, it was a comfortable trip that produced some decent inshore fishing. There were haddock and cusk to take home, and some beautiful cod fish to admire before they were released safely.
Don’t forget our small window to keep cod is coming soon. September 15 to September 30th. Write it in your calendar, make a reservation soon.
