Wow, it has been some time since I was able to get on the site.
First, the new boat is excellent. The ride, the comfort, it is outstanding. With the Covid Pandemic, the deck is bleached down after each charter as is the HEAD. Cushions and fabrics sprayed with antibacterial carpet spray each week. The boat, simply put – is a strong comfortable machine that has handled some big seas. Rest assured, this is no deep V hull.
Haddock are out big time. Since the season started, there has been no let up. Pollock have been caught in the 30″ range. But, the big surprise is the Cusk catch. Big Cusk, up to 31″.
For those that have gone out with me, you know my quest is always Halibut. Dorothy and Steve came out with me a couple days ago and know my desire to get one of these big beasts. The legal size to keep is 41″. Two legal ones were caught last year with 6 others needing to be thrown back. Well, the Captain got his wish. On a Jig, with no luck getting any Haddock…Yes Steve and Dorothy, long time guests to Adventure and Catch, were showing up the Captain! I went down with a custom rig and bait set and 30 secs later I had a 40 minute fight with a 160-170 lbs 65 inch Halibut. This was a dream come true.
With the summer so early, there are so many more adventure and things to find. Hope to bring you out and share these amazing experiences. ENJOY THE PICS – Capt. Andy
