Target Species – During this period, anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish such as haddock, pollock, cusk, redfish, and sometimes porbeagle sharks.
Optimal Conditions – The spring is prime time for groundfishing, as these fish begin to become more active during the spring months.
Quieter Waters – This season is not as busy as the summer months, offering a more serene and focused fishing experience.
Tuna Season June 15 – Nov 15
Target Species: Giant Bluefin Tuna / School Bluefin Tuna
The Giant Bluefin Tuna is known for their size, power, and great eyesight, providing an exhilarating challenge for anglers.
School Bluefin Tuna can be harvested on commercially closed days for your group to bring home.
Peak Activity – Tuna spend a majority of their summer and fall months in our waters, making it the best time to target these fish close to home.
Proximity to Gloucester – These fish can get close to land during our season. Expect to travel as little as 5 miles or as many as 30 miles if needed. We go to where the fish are, not to where we want them to be.
All Permits are carried under the boat. When you fish with us, the only thing you need is food + beverage for the day.
