As the inshore bite slows down in October, traveling 20+ miles offshore for groundfishing is the best option for Boston Harbor Anglers. "Mixed bag" offshore trips are a great way to stock up the freezer with that beautiful white fish that everyone loves. Expect Pollack, Haddock, Cod, Redfish, Cusk and Hake. With great weather windows, these can be great Fall days to take in the sun out on the open ocean.

Our "mixed bag" October trips are where it's at for late fall fishing in downtown Boston. Load up the thermos with pumkin spice, throw a hoodie on and lets go fishing! Our wheelhouse is heated !

Quality cod such as this 34” as well as hot haddock fishing have par for the course for Legit Fish. Captain Mark Rowell of Legit Fish Charters is finding cod up to 34” and limits of haddock on most trips. That is arguably much better fishing than others are experiencing among more northern offshore structure, such as Jeffrey’s Ledge and Tillies. The key, according to the captain, is to find rocks/wrecks just to the side of soft bottom. Draggers tend to avoid the irregular bottom, which wreaks havoc on their gear, and instead pound muddy/gravely bottom. Clams, as well as pink cod flies/teasers, are doing the job. Ancillary wow moments continue aboard Legit Fish with a noteworthy one happening while the crew was trying to put a patron onto a blue shark. While setting out a chum slick, and as the blue sharks began to get close to the boat, an unforeseen mako exploded out of nowhere and slammed the bait. The takedown was ferocious and furious, but unfortunately, the fight short lived. Without a doubt, that angler will be booking another trip soon. "on the water"

Left Gloucester early to get bait. Mackerel were scarce but we got a half dozen off to the tuna spot. Half way there Capt John spots some mackerel moves up up along them , everybody got a triple getting is enough bait. Finished our trip out Saw 10 or so boats . Captovrd the boat around got his spot and had the anchor set. Right where he wanted, started to set out the gear and a few mark came across the screen. They were the only mark we saw all day. Fished thru the tide change no action. We decided to go haddock fishing. Moved about 3 miles set the anchor , first drop keeper haddock, then a few more. Really nice ,20- 22 inch fish. Caught a couple giant whiting and cod.. Great day Thank you Maureen for sharing you great family.. Thank you, Capt. John
