First time Cod fishers

May 16, 2010

This weekend we had a hardy crew.  It was the first time they Cod fished.  High winds and rough seas made fishing challenging.  The current was fast, the wind was strong and the boat was rocking. However, today persistence was the winner. As soon as the crew got the technique down fish started coming over the rail.  Every fish they caught they worked for. Nice job guys.

Great Day of Striped Bass Fishing

October 12, 2009

Fall fishing at it’s finest.  Keeper Striped Bass with every hook up.  We had a great day today.  The day started with a beautiful sunrise and good fishing. The fish are still feeding for the fall migration south.  Get into the action while it’s hot. I opened up the our fishing schedule for third week in October.  Book now as the season is coming to a close.

Boston Harbor Striped Bass and Bluefish

September 20, 2009

C.J. Victoria had a great day today.  Finally the weather came our way and what a day.  This morning started off with a great incoming tide catch of a Striped Bass and Bluefish keepers.  I lost count of the amount of fish we caught in 4 hours.

This the second trip (photo).  The second trip started slow, but soon everyone onboard started getting the fishing technique and pow!  The fish came on and in a big way.  A good catch of Striped Bass with a handful of Bluefish.  The big fish weighted 35lbs and 45″  NOW!  is the time to fish for nice Striped Bass.  Book now as my schedule is getting tight.

Fishing is Great

September 13, 2009

I haven’t been posting lately, but both the inshore bass and offshore tuna is hot.  If you want a good shot at catching a Tuna now is the time.  Last week the tuna action was great.  The Striped Bass is in a full fall feeding getting ready for their migration south.

August 23rd

August 23, 2009

We fished all week and weekend and had the fishing action building up as hurricane Bill came by.  We always seem to do well just before a storm.  Fishing is getting better every trip. The Tuna action is still great.  Now is the time to book either a tuna or inshore Striped Bass trip.

Nice Striped Bass

August 15, 2009

Nice 42.5″ Bass came over the rail today. We fished hard and our work paid off. The tuna bite is still going strong.  We have been hooking Tuna almost every trip. Every fisherman is awaiting the explosion of fall fish.  The harbor is loaded with bait.  Any time now.  See you soon.

Bluefin Tuna Action is Good

August 12, 2009

For those of you who would like to get into the BIG game action, Bluefin tuna is your answer.  We have been running tuna charters and have been doing well.  Here is another 250 pound fish.  Great time had by all on this trip.
Customers ask me when is the best time to go fishing, well now is a good time for Tuna.  The chances of hooking up with a big fish is very good.  We lost a giant earlier on this trip.

Tuna Time

July 29, 2009

We head out yesterday with a trip for tuna.  The seas were beautiful for boating but not for fishing as it was a bit calm.  That didn’t stop the crew from hooking up. The action really turned on. Get into this while the get’in is good. Almost a giant 5″ short.  What a trill for the passengers on board.
We will be running tuna trips for the rest of the summer and fall, hope to see you then.

Kids Birthday Party

July 22, 2009

Had a birthday party onboard today and what a time was had.  We got the kids into the surface action that is going on in the harbor during the day.  Everyone caught their first Striped Bass.  There is some small Bluefish working with the bass schools on the bait. The harbor looks like it is going to explode.  Bait everywhere. We are seeing Big Striped Bass but can’t get them to take the baits.  The day time, like last year,  has them on a slower bite.

Here Fishy Fishy...

July 19, 2009

Fished this weekend hard. We went to 13 different spots, shallow and deep water. The fishing was great, but the catching was another story. We used live and chunk bait which proved to be futile. We were seeing fish in the deep water, but couldn’t get them to take the live baits.  For some reason Boston harbor is in a bit of a slow down. We will keep at it and always fish hard.  Difficult fishing makes for a very enjoyable reward when catching.
Everyone onboard has rods in their hands, waiting for the reel to sing.
I do see small schools of surface action. The chatter on the radio was much of the same as you read here. Boats constantly on the move looking for fish. We are fishing day time hours. The bite is very early morning. No Bluefish.

Tuna Time

July 17, 2009

We are running offshore for Tuna to Stellwagen Bank.  The bite for fish has been on with some giants being taken. When we arrived there was a lot of life on the bank. Lots of big Striped Bass, feeding on sand eels. Bluefish were also in the mix. The tuna were elusive as we only saw one busting the surface. Tuna trips are a big game sport fishing trip.  Hooking one of these fish could mean the fight of a life time.

Earn your Fish

July 15, 2009

I didn’t fish over the weekend, but reports are “the harbor seems to continue to be in a bit of a slow down.” “Fishing is tough.” Schoolies are feeding on the surface, but fishing for big fish is tough.

Fished Yesterday:
Yesterday was the first day that I spotted some big fish breaking the surface…could be the start of something good.

Everyone was great and fishing hard, but the bite was still slow.  Small fish. Check me out of Facebook to get more information.

Fishing is Consistent

July 08, 2009

The past few days we have been working hard to keep the customers on the fish.  Each trip has action and keepers for the grill, but we earned every fish that was caught.  Today was better than lately with some nice strong fighting fish, but I would still call the action slow and steady.  No really big stuff but we got keepers. The bite that we had from last week has slowed down.
Some feeding has been going on with schools of fish with surface action.  The surface action was there one second then gone the next.  We will be watching this.
We had some nice flounder on a morning trip.  Not crazy action, but steady.  I do see the flounder season end insight.

Superb Action

July 01, 2009

A foggy day on Boston harbor didn’t stop the fish from biting. What a day today. We caught and released around 40 fish today. Five keepers were kept so the customers could cook on them on the fourth. Great fishing is going on right now!

Action was the game. Fishing.

June 28, 2009

This weekend was an interesting week as we got into tons of action but only smaller sized fish. The keepers were coming in right at 28-31 inches. I saw everyone searching for bigger fish, but it seems like the harbor has a lot of spawning females feeding in the area. Some spots had our customers on their toes. Everyone onboard fishes with a rod in their hand hooking up. Big thumbs up to this crew for working hard in rough seas to land some nice fish.

A Fight after the storm.

June 26, 2009

C.J. Victoria was in full swing this week just after the Northeast storm passed.  The bite is on big time as we have had plenty of action.  Every trip had a lot of keepers, but they all seem to be 28″-30″ in size. Today was a young angler day.  Jack and Tom fished very well catching a dozen bass or more between them.  The kids had the rods in there hands landing fish all on their own. Nice job!  Jack did land a nice 36″ Striped Bass and released it to fight another day. The bite looks good for the weekend and we have some time open.  So give me a call for some great action. 617-283-5801 Rob

C.J. Victoria....fishing at it's finest

June 20, 2009

Today was a great day with the morning trip (top photo) and the afternoon trip getting into great Striped Bass.  The action started a bit slow with the fish being finicky, but the crew got into the action with plenty of hook ups for each group.  There was a mix of Striped Bass and Bluefish for the morning trip.  The afternoon was all Bass.  Great day with great people onboard

Busy week and weekend fishing

June 16, 2009

Last week and weekend was a very busy week fishing everyday.  Customers are getting their fix of Striped Bass fishing and Cod and Haddock fishing. Inshore the bass were being a bit finickey as they were hitting the baits and spitting them out before the hook was set.  That didn’t stop the customers from fishing hard. Persistence was the name of the  game.  Stick with fishing hard and the fish will come.  Everyone onboard will always fish as much as they like, as hard as they like. Offshore:  The trip was a good trip, but the very high tides had a fast current and a though drift.  Add in the massive amounts of Dog fish (sand sharks), the word challenging is an understatement.  The crew on C.J. Victoria worked hard and got the customers into schools of  Haddock and Cod for their coolers.

A nice Striped Bass from Boston

June 11, 2009

John’s second fish of the day landed him in the big fish of the trip category. Nice fish a 38″ Striped Bass. Today was a great day, but we had to fish hard for the fish. Look me up at facebook and see a more detailed reports. We did see our first Bluefish during this trip. You have to get into this action as the fishing is very good.

Fishing with Bruin Aaron Ward

June 02, 2009

Today we fish with Boston Bruins Aaron Ward and Strength coach John Whitesides. The fishing was great with about a dozen or more fish landed. The best part…the fish live to fight another day as we released every fish we caught. Great day

Striped Bass Big Time

May 31, 2009

Today was one of those days that I would like all of my passengers to have. Great Striped Bass in Boston harbor made for an awesome trip.  We got over a dozen bass with the big fish over 42+ inches. The action started very quickly after we filled the livewell with bait.  The Striped Bass started to play with the bait in the beginning by hitting them with their tails.  Then the dinner bell rang and the fish were feeding.  The strong winds didn’t deter the crew of C.J. Victoria from getting everyone into the fish.   Now is a great time for Striped bass fishing, so get into the action.

Boston Harbor Flounder today

May 29, 2009

Boston harbor  is the best location for Winter Flounder.  We fished today and limited out for everyone.  Flounder fishing is a fantastic fishery that shouldn’t be missed.  This is great for kids as well as adults.  Get into this action while the fishing is good. Flounder fishing is an inshore  bottom fishery.  Usually the sea conditions are calm which makes for a very comfortable day.  If you would like more detailed information you can give me a call.

Spring Boston Harbor fishing

May 23, 2009

C.J. Victoria fished today and got into some good fish.  1- schoolie around 27″ 1-30″ Striped Bass and  1- at 36″  We worked several spots today and pulled fish out with live bait today. Plus a few small hits but the fish didn’t take the bait.  Get into the action. The fishing is good and the catching is getting hotter and hotter. Boston harbor offer excellent fishing all spring summer and fall.  We are running Flounder, Cod, Haddock and Striped Bass trips. Later we will start running Tuna trips. Hope to see you soon.

New Fishing Reports

May 4, 2009

We had some great Haddock fishing Today with plenty of fish for the cooler.  The fishing on the bank was good in the morning with plenty of nice size Cod.  Then as the tide changed we went to deeper water and loaded up with Haddock.  The big Cod are in so get your date booked while the fish are here.
