there seems to be a little interest in codfishing out there. last year we did togfest, how about this year we do codfest. with the togs we just did a bunch of us with boats but for codfishing we could do a partyboat and fish stellwagen in the spring. is it the viking that goes out quincy? i've never done a private charter on a partyboat - how many guys do you think we need to do it

I've have a friend that did similar (rent a party cod boat) but he used the Gloucester fleet. Not sure he chartered the entire boat or just reserved 20+ slots, but I think the entire boat. Sometimes the boat requires a minimum number.

Walshes out of Lynn maybe? does private charters ,not sure how many they take on board, seen it on another board.

Freakin Maine!!

niko · 02-25-2011, 05:46 PM

i was thinking of quincy saving some travel time but it makes sense to spend $$$ with a local boat

striperman36 · 02-25-2011, 05:50 PM

I'm in. if work permits

Raider Ronnie · 02-25-2011, 06:27 PM

Paul,
How about trying to plan one the next week or 2.
A sat or sunday.
Once april gets here I'm on my boat only.

iamskippy · 02-25-2011, 06:29 PM

i am in if you can do a Sunday or Monday, if not i will need a little advance notice for vacation time here at work, but i would love to hit up some yummy cod.

Goose · 02-25-2011, 06:51 PM

I'd be into a private charter.

JamesJet · 02-25-2011, 08:36 PM

I have fished the Gulf of Maine for a while on a charter boat out of Perkins Cove. I won't post the name here as they are not a sponsor but its a good boat, good captain initials are BC. Its what I'd call a fisherman's head boat. Wet deck, no heated cabin, lobsterboat style fishing. Pretty much a jig bite. They use good equipment if you don't have your own. Very good times. If people are interested I will call the captain.
I already have a couple marathon trips scheduled but could do one more.

Paul,

My bachelor party in 05 was a Cod trip. We had the whole boat and had about 20 guys. I think it was out of Seabrook NH (Eastman’s maybe?) and fished the Gulf of Maine. I don’t think the price was that bad per guy. It was 6 years ago though…………

JohnR · 02-26-2011, 09:38 AM

I'd like to be in but between shows and Scouts its pretty jammed newt from months. Pick a date and if I can go I will

Rob Rockcrawler · 02-26-2011, 10:17 AM

We charter the yankee capts every august. I THINK its about 2500, so 25 people 100 bucks a head plus tip for the mates and we go on a marathon trip, 12-14 hours. Not that bad when you consider its a boat of all people ya know.

niko · 02-26-2011, 10:47 AM

here are a few dates - sun may 8th or sun the 15th. fishing should be good then. i'll make a few calls this week and check prices and availability on a few boats.

Rob Rockcrawler · 02-26-2011, 11:25 AM

Im in for it. But im an easy chummer.

PRBuzz · 02-26-2011, 11:30 AM

I'm In

RickBomba · 02-26-2011, 01:42 PM

I'd be in for a Sunday.

Fish On · 02-26-2011, 03:44 PM

I'd love to go if I'm available on the date you choose.

Look into the Challenger out of Newburyport. These guys know where the cod are. Check the fishing reports link below and look at May - Mid June. Huge fish! Rates to charter the entire boat are very reasonable. You would only need 15 people on the weekend to get the price under $100 a head. 12 hour marathons also available.

Weekends $1450.00
This is for up to 30 passengers,
add $48.00 for each additional passenger
Weekdays $1200.00
This is for up to 25 passengers,
add $48.00 for each additional passenger

Clammer · 02-26-2011, 05:06 PM

bASSWIPE,

check it out .see if there is a party boat in the basin or Manchesters

jredfly · 02-26-2011, 06:04 PM

I just want to clarify I do not have any affiliation to the company or captain. Just hought I would share a good experience I had a few yeas ago. Went out of Plymouth on a Captain John Boat and Captain Tucker put us on a lot of fish - if he is still around I would ask for him again. It didn't look like we would get the minimum amount of anglers (I think 15) but we did. I heard an old timer comment that they probably would not run the engines that long and it would be a short trip but he ran long and far from 7 to 3. BTW Captain John always has a table at the MSBA shows and it would be nice to show support. Not a bad take for $49. If you can get the cost more around this dollar amount I am in (and would like to take my oldest boy) no matter where it is - sounds like a good time with some good people. Thanks

niko · 03-02-2011, 09:39 AM

i've made some calls and the clipperfleet (challenger) is the way to go. thanks fish on. it's $1450 for the day. available on sunday may 8th. it's capacity is 30 guys. with 30 guys it's $48 per man - with 20 guys it's $72 per man. price includes bait and rental rod. so the exact price will be determined by how many people come. if you want in - say "i'm in". when we have 15 definates i will book the boat. the more the merrier - we'll have a good day and load up on some tasty cod, haddock, and pollock.

JackK · 03-02-2011, 10:02 AM

I'm in.

JamesJet · 03-02-2011, 12:20 PM

If anyone is interested I am already booked on a Marathon trip on the Bunny Clark on June 9th - I think there are some spots left.

niko · 03-03-2011, 01:02 PM

we are booked for sunday may 15th. the boat is the sundance II, he does not charter out the other boat for private parties. if we want to extend the day a few hours, marathon trip, he said he would charge $200 extra - for up to 25 guys, a few bucks extra if we end up w/ more guys

JackK · 03-03-2011, 01:11 PM

Sweet! Thanks for setting it up. I will be in touch with a few other people this weekend, and try to get deposits from them to confirm their spots. Will let you know an updated total.

Found this report from May 15th 2009...

Clipper Fleet report 5/15

striperman36 · 03-03-2011, 07:00 PM
