Here is some nice footage of a 95" roughly 500+lbs giant we caught this year in early August up north. Hoping to get out this week once or twice for that last final shot.
Good Luck to all! Thanks

Karen Lynn report 11/10 Stellwagen !

Karen Lynn — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:57:04 GMT

Stellwagen bank continues to produce world class fishing!

Our last couple of trips produced multiple catches on both Saturday and Tuesday. On both trips we were seeing plenty of life, with fish busting here and there as soon as we left Gloucester Harbor.

We are enjoying some great November weather, with plenty of fish left still actively feeding on the bank.Boy are these fish fat!. It's truly amazing to witness the amount of girth the blue fin tuna puts on over the course of the summer.

These mid November tuna develop into the nicest quality fish you will see. It doesn't get much better! They have amazing oil content and great fat throughout.

The fish that we boated on one trip was 71". Next trip we boated the cookie cutter fish of this year at 67".
They sure do fight tough in that cold water! We are hoping for some more nice weather to get a couple more shots in. Good Luck to all !

Karen Lynn Report 10/30 and 11/01 !

Karen Lynn — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:08:47 GMT

Our past couple of trips on the Karen Lynn have produced some truly world class fishing.

Stellwagen is producing great non stop action with trips enjoying multiple catches. Our charter returned from last weekend for some more action, as well as a charter with guys flying in from Alaska and Maryland.

The weather cooperated as we enjoyed great late season fishing. There is much life on the water right now, with the action starting only a few miles outside Gloucester harbor. Both days on the ride out, we came across small schools of 35" to 50" class tuna busting on the surface.

We had loads of 5" to 7" herring schools all over the place. I have never seen herring like this before right outside Gloucester harbor! Gannet's dive bombing as far as the eye could see. The herring boat restrictions are starting to show a positive impact.

We enjoyed the show on the way out as we continued steaming to the bank. There are plenty of different size class fish still actively feeding on the bank. The fish we brought to the boat ranged from 55" to the largest being a nice 70" class fish tagged and released. The late season blue fin tuna fishing on Stellwagen is excellent right now, and I don't see it slowing down any time soon. Hoping for a few more nice weather windows to get back out there.

Good Luck to all!
Thanks.

Live bait for bluefin is fun too. :)

Bluefin popping last Sunday and Monday was fantastic in Southwest Corner of Stellwagen Bank early in th morning though smaller tuna dominated.

I went with Capt Jimmy of the No Time with two fishermen from Korea and Yong yesterday(10-27).
Jimmy loves to use live baits, but I insisted to go without baits as popping was great on Sun and Monday and I didn't want to lose fishing time to catch baits as they bite only 2 hours until 9:00 am on Monday.
Jimmy said we could catch whiting only one mile from fishing spot in SW corner and I had no reason to object it as I missed whiting fishing since 1991 in NY area.

We we got the SW Corner, we didn't see much bird action. When I saw Jimmy put down lines with live whiting, I knew I had to change my plan from popping to jigging.

While drifing with other fleet, we didn't get any bites. Jimmy went to the spot he liked and we immediately marked some tuna.
He used Park's Daiwa Mura Mura Expedition rod/Ocear Jigger 5000P for live bait and put the rod in the rod holer. Soon after, we heard big breaking sound, when we turned the rod got broken in half just below the ree
l seat and the rod/reel were gone !!!
As soon as I had a hit on my Grey Hooker jig another rod with live whiting went off. I let Park fight the fish and Yong fought other tuna.

continued after lunch.

Karen Lynn Report 10/25 !

Karen Lynn — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:18:13 GMT

Great day on the water ! Started off not so good with myself making the call of not going at 4:00am. My cousin Mike who was mate for the day was already down the boat. So we decided we should go out and give the giant's a shot. As we were still close to home trying to make bait it was turning into a beautiful day wind died right out. I gave the charter a call back and told them we should give it a go. As it was a father and son and his son's friend they were very excited to say the least. We picked them up at the new cruiseport inside Gloucester harbor. We then headed out to the bank with large rollers still left over not bad at all. Slow start as we arrived around 11:00am. With the Patriots game on the sun shining and a beautiful late October day the rod goes off. The two young boys we had on the boat were fishing finatics to say the least. What a great job they both did getting the fish to the boat. A short time later we boated a nice 44" Blue Fin Tuna turning the whole day around. A very excited crew and all glad we decided to go ahead with the trip. As we were listening to the Pats kicking butt in London we go off again. With the drag screaming pretty good we knew this was a better fish. We strapped Jackson into the harness and he went to work. We ended up boating a beautiful 68" Blue Fin Tuna in about 15 minutes. Which ended up giving us the slot limit and making it a banner day. Father and son trips are my favorite as it is thrilling to see the bonding that takes place. With the seas calm and the sun setting what a great ride home it was. A great trip that we all will not soon forget. Thanks

Fishing continues to be great with many BFT still hanging around. Stellwagen continues to hold fish of all different size classes. On the last trip we had we landed four fish a 45" a 52" a 60" then this years cookie cutter 67" class fish. Very exciting to see all these different size class tuna that's for sure. Jeffreys continues to hold fish as the bait is still solid. With multiple sighting's of 20lb tuna jumping around. The juvenile herring on Jeffreys was out of control this year, seems the mid water trawler restriction is showing positive affects. It has been a great year so far with hopes of a few more great trips to be had. Hoping to get a few trips in down south for the big boys as they have been coming through. Landed a nice one on my buddy's boat last week a little closer to home. Good luck to all on the final adventure's for the season. Thanks
