The summer season is starting off with a bang and everything seems to be happening at once this Memorial Day weekend.What else is new? Captain Den was on hand to launch Captain Whit's Gath IV yesterday,and just in time as the Mackerel have arrived in great numbers on this mornings low tide. Now's the time to bring the kids for the time of their life. Pictured is Captain Whit and his mate Nick preparing poles for this weekends inshore trips. Gath looks like a new boat on her 1st day after the 2010 season launch.
Kieth and I were treated to a great day of offshore fishing this week and were honored to have some of New England's best ground fisherman aboard the India Marie. The Spring cod fishing continues to be the best its been in many years. Les and Linda Paul (ME)had a great time landing many beautiful cod. Linda is pictured with her largest cod of the day a 19 pounder. Re- Pete Cacciapaglia (MA) was a bit tired upon reaching the dock. He was high hook landing nice fish steadily throughout the day My old friend Dennis Cassidy (VT) won the pool and landed the largest fish of his life. Pictured top of post is Den with his Maine Maine State trophy 27.5 pounder. Jeanette Deblois (Me) landed nice double keeper cod, a nice haddock and managd to ride her new cooler to a strong 3rd place finish.
Sunday evening,Memorial Day eve's Family trip features Sir Ernie Pigeon. He will be featured playing and singing a few sea shanties on his guitar. This will be a first aboard the boats. I'm not sure how much room is left, but I may take both boats if enough of you show up for the festivities. This will be authentic family fun and you should try to attend if you possible can. Best Satch
