Kayman Charters

A Large Wolf fish was caught and released by angler Scott!

Cod and Haddock fishing has been heating up the past week, Capt. Rob found a Bunch of Large Cod the other day with fish to 35 pounds, there were some other fish on the high twenty pound range with this group!

Some boxes of Large Haddock were also found in different spots over the week!  Consistent 8-11 pound Haddock was a great sight to see! These fish hit hot and heavy for a while making anglers very happy!

All the folks enjoying Lisa’s Lookout for before and after fishing have rebooked just to enjoy the beauties of this lodge type home and relax to make there fishing a great enjoyable trip! Call of e-mail for more info and reservations for this retreat!

St Peters festival is the third weekend in June and is a great Gloucester tradition. Hotels are at a premium this weekend and the lodge is available for the three days even if you’re not fishing.

The boats were tied up last week as we finished up at the Sports
Shows, The life rafts are undergoing there annual inspection. Each
year they are unpacked and inflated to check for leaks. This is a very
expensive test that is not required for charter boats but is always
done on the Kayman Boats! New cold water immersion suits for each
passenger are tested and properly stowed to prep for the busy season.
The reports are that some big numbers of Haddock have been offloaded
in port last week. This is a good sign as the Haddock usually show up
in force!
Lisa’s Look out, the new lodge is up and going! A great place to stay
as this brand new is only one mile from the marina and beaches. Some
clients are booking for the week in the summer for a fishing beach
vacation with the family! Sixty dollars each with breakfast for this
new house is a bargain!
A lot of Shared charters have been filled but with more requests we
have March 22 and Sunday March 25 open for a bait fishing trip for
Haddock. visit Kaymancharters.com to sign up!

Note to all who are fishing until mid April.. The Boats have been
moved due to the bridge being out!! Call before your trip for the new
location in town!

Despite the great weather the boat stayed tied up last week so no
updated fish report, Last trip out Haddock and Pollock were very
abundant and  all hands filled all the boxes on deck! The water column
was filled with herring and Mackerel and butter fish, that all the
fish were coughing up as they came on deck!

We have been working diligently on the new lodge! the new kitchen is
in along with the new patio for cook outs! all new beds are being
brought in for a good nights sleep before and after your trip!
It is sure to be a hit once the bar and flat screen TV makes its way
into the den.

Give a call for a winter trip the weather has been cooperating as well
as the fishing!

Haddock has been our prime target lately although the boat has not been leaving the dock much. We did find a few pockets of nice sized Haddock the last couple of trips. There were also schools of Pollock swimming through that caught anglers of guard a few times. The Lisa and Jake will remain active for those who wish to venture out the heater will be running!

Give us a call for best availability

Santa did visit us this year and went fishing to show us what our gift was!

Nice Large Cod get hooked while Haddock fishing!

Large Haddock Make their way into the Kayman Honey holes!

Cod and Haddock trips this week were killer on some days and slow on others, A few days the Large Cod to 25 pounds slammed jigs as they hit the bottom! The mix of Large Pollock also brought anglers to the rail as the rods doubled over. This bite was an early bite and then the focus was moved to bait fishing were some nice Cod as well as Large Haddock were landed. Unfortunately the pesky dogfish took over on a few afternoons damping efforts of anglers.

Last weeks Tuna trips landed slot fish 60-72 inches that were released to grow for another day. The fish hit live herring that was fished below the surface on set lines. The crews were great anglers maneuvering around the boat and releasing the fish!

Fall fishing and freezer stocking is about to begin! October has notoriously been a great month to limit out on large Cod. Stay tuned for split trip dates in October!

Some Slammer Pollock have been surprising anglers jigging for Cod! Some of these brutes that are bringing anglers to their knees have topped the 25 pound range! Some Large Cod to 20 pounds have also been boated. The anglers have had to work hard on the jigs to  get the fish to bite. Some nice Haddock have also been caught on the bait but dogfish hamper the action on some days.Recreational Tuna were caught last week fish under 59 inches were kept but those 70 inch fish get released, anglers enjoy the fight and the beautiful colors of the fish in the water is quite a site. One spot left on the Sept 14 shared trip and the Sept 19 trip is wide open. see Kaymancharters.com to sign up

Fishing remains steady on the Cod and Haddock as well as the Tuna! Craig Young landed a 350 pound Blue fin Tuna earlier this week on a live mackerel he jigged up inside the harbor in the early morning.

 Young Jake was on the boat mid week and he also was an excellent angler and fought a 200 pound Tuna to gaff. Some of these fish have been wild dumping 45 pounds of drag on the Shimano 130′s over and over again. The speed of the line dumping out at this incredible rate is quite a site to see!

The Todd Carrier group landed the fish of their life time last week as an 800 pound Giant Tuna inhaled their offering! The Shimano 130 light up like nobody’s business mid day in a fleet of boats, the reel was almost spooled when we got off the anchor and started chasing the fish between anchor lines and boats! The crew did an excellent job letting the fish run when told to and keeping the line tight to dance the boat out of harms way!

Forty minutes into the fight the Giant surfaced and thrashed around leaving a huge spray of white water and an incredible sight! We then got on top of the fish to put him into the death spiral and came up for an easy harpoon shot after 70 minutes!

Congrats to the whole group who all took turns and brought this fish to tail rope in a nice smooth way!
Â
Cod and Haddock was dampened by Dogfish at a few stops but some nice sized Haddock and Cod were brought in despite the abundance of Dog fish, Cod to 20 pounds and nice 8-9 pound Haddocks made for lots of tasty fillets for anglers.
Kayman Charters is gearing up for the Fall Cod season which is usually a sold out event into the end of October, if you have plans on stocking your freezer with Cod book your trip soon as dates will be filling in. Next split trip is Sept 14 and Sept 19 see kaymancharters.com to sign up
