Deep Sea Fishing Trip in NH

You know you had a great day of fishing when you wake up the next morning and your whole body is sore!! We went out of Hampton, NH on the Yellowbird and were hitting the Cod and Haddock pretty good. I personally boated about 18-20 fish of which I had 4 keeper haddock ranging from 29" to 21". I pulled in several cod none of which were keeper length and about 5-6 dogfish which were fun to catch. I caught a roughly 36" to 40" dogfish which put up a nice fight.

We were fishing in about 200' to 250' of water and the water temps were around the lower 40 deg range. It was a great day and I'll be doing it again at some point this year since I won the raffle for another free trip. I'm thinking of doing a pollock trip in August or Sept. Here's a few pics.

Thanks...it was an awesome trip. I can't wait to do it again. As far as the dogfish we didn't get any pics. We would fish and pull in the fish and then when the bite would slow down we would move to another spot. All of the pics are in between fishing spots and since we didn't keep any doggies we didn't get any pics of them. They are basically a 3' to 4' shark with grayish/brown coloring and white spots. If you google it you will see what they look like.

One of the guys on the boat pulled in a good sized wolf fish. The teeth on that thing were amazing. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. It made a german shepards choppers look mild. Try googling a wolf fish too.

Here's a couple more pics of a right whale we got to see on the trip as well.

Here's some stats on right whales which makes it even cooler to see one.

Quote :: · Right whales are the rarest of all large whale species and among the rarest of all marine mammal species.

· There are only about 300-400 right whales in the North Atlantic.

· Adult right whales are about 50 feet (15 m) long, and can weigh up to 70 tons (140,000 lbs; 63,500 kg).

· Right whales were severely depleted by commercial whaling; they have a thick layer of blubber, so they float when dead, making them an easy--and profitable--species for early whalers.
