We love catching ground fish and when the bite is hot the fishing is fast and furious. You can catch them in comfort and style. The SWEET DREAM III has a full enclosure which is heated for your comfort on those early and late season trips. 2011 started out with excellent haddock fishing before cod even openned up to recreational fishing. Cod fishing was nothing short of excellent as both numbers and size continued to improve. In addition, large slammer pollock were present throughout the season and we expect the groundfishing to continue to be excellent in 2012.

When fishing for cod, expect to catch the New England ground-fish slam, Cod, Haddock and Pollock. In addition catching their cousin the Cusk and the toothy but tasty, Wolfish (Ocean Catfish) is common as are delicious Ocean (Red) Perch. The fishing method is either jigging with Norwegian style cod jigs and teasers or bait fishing with sea clams or squid. We commonly fish water depths from 100-300 feet. Captain Bruce will help make you a master with either method by days end.

Cod must be 24” to keep with a 10 fish per angler limit.

Haddock must be 19” to keep with no bag limit.

We will run our early season Haddock Special trips again in 2012, save $150 off our regular full day groundfish  rates, $1100. These trips will start in early April and run through April 15th.
