Well it was an amazing Opening day as I was jammed in with about 50 People (LOL)
Our Regulations Up NORTH - SUCK
So Haddock is CLOSED till 4/15 to protect Cod
That really is beneficial as we caught and released 3 yes THREE COD all day but threw back close to 1000 Haddock up to 9 Lbs
Bolds well for my first charter on 4/20 ((Sold Out))) where we can retain 12 Haddock Per Person
We had between 25 and 40 Redfish Per Person some had more
Les Eastman down played the fishing on Eastmansdocks.com because his other boat did not do well at all. Was just one of those days where depending where you were the Haddock were abundant, Big and FEROCIOUS
I have NEVER seen so many Double and Triple Header Haddock in my life. We had to move 8 times to try and get away from the Haddock
Thanks for the great regulations DEC aka Marine Fisheries
Here are pictures from a great opening day
