Most legal fish landed were haddock, followed closely by pollock. The catching and landings were very good. The tide was a bit too strong and we had a few dogfish. The fishing was good to very good overall. The high air temperature at the Portland International Jetport, Portland, Maine was 61☏ (with a low of 40☏). The Concord, New Hampshire's high temperature was 72☏ (with a low of 42☏). The surface water temperature reached a high of 50☏.Īshore, these were the air temperatures in selected New England cities: In Boston, Massachusetts ( Logan International Airport) the high air temperature was 59☏ (with a low of 49☏). And this might just be from the fires in Canada. The visibility ranged to twenty miles, as near as I could figure. The air temperature reached a high of 54☏. We had six knots of southerly wind when we started to head her to the barn. We did have a long four foot swell out of the east. The wind was just a ripple on the surface for most of the morning. On the grounds, the ocean was glassy to start and then started to make up out of the southeast. The air temperature was 50☏ by the time we got to the fishing grounds. The surface of the ocean was glassy with a two foot long swell. In fact, we had no wind all the way to the fishing grounds. On the ocean side of the gate we found zero wind. It had been the same air temperature at the dock before we left. As we moved down the channel to the gate, the air temperature was 41☏. It was another cool morning leaving Perkins Cove. Tim Tuesday, Danny DellaMonica and I ran the marathon trip today.Īt 3:00 AM EDT the air temperature was 44☏, the sky was hazy clear (the fires in Canada?), there was not enough wind to write about and the visibility over the ocean seemed excellent. We caught a lot of pollock on this trip as they were on the bite, the perfect conditions for a pollock bite anywhere. This pollock is tied with two other 16 pound pollock for the fourth largest pollock caught on the Bunny Clark this season so far. The shot on the right is a picture of Kayla Paulin (MA) and her 16 pound pollock caught well after Bob caught his pollock. Sometimes they are still attached when the pollock is brought into the boat. Quite frequently we find lamprey eels attached to the pollock we catch.

Those wounds were made by lamprey eels that were attached to the pollock. In the picture, you can see two circular wounds on the fish. Bob caught this fish as part of a double that also included a 9.5 pound pollock on the fly above the jig, making it our second largest double of the season to date. This is the Bunny Clark's largest pollock of the fishing season so far. On the left is a shot of Bob Vogel (NY) holding his 18 pound pollock. The two pictures show the anglers holding the larger than normal fish they caught that day. The digital images above were taken on the marathon trip.
