Hey guys, the docks at the Hampton Harbor facility, have yet to be put in the water. Supposedly April 10th will be the day they will be set in place. So, until that time, we will be running our trips out of the state facility at Rye Harbor. The harbor in Rye, is approximately a 15 minute ride, north on rte 1A, from Hampton Harbor ( the bridge). Easiest way to get there is I95 to rte 101 east (Hampton toll booth), follow 101 east straight, all the way to the ocean , take a left and follow rte 1A north about 10-15 minutes, harbor will be on the right, obviously. A small inconvenience for some, but rye is a quaint and beautiful harbor, and doesn’t have a bridge. We will fish the same grounds.

Didn’t get in the water Friday, ended up splashing today. Sea trial went well, with a few minor glitches, but considering all the work we did, very satisfied. Top speed was 22.4 knots, but the quiet of the engines is going to take some time to get used to. Won’t be long now.

Hopefully splashing in the water Friday, it’s been a long winter, but things are looking good. Spent most of our time in the engine room, so we’ll have to catch up on painting as we go. The new John Deere’s are so much quieter, you guys will be able to have a conversation on the back deck without ear protection. The word around the dock is, one cod per person in may, September and October, and haddock are 17 inches again. For those of you calling for reservations, please use 603 929 1995 , as all calls get forwarded to one of our cell phones . I’ll check in with you after sea trials, fingers crossed

A few more miscellaneous things to do, and hopefully starting the new engines Friday. Should be faster and a whole lot quieter. 15 haddock at 17 inches, down an inch from last season will make a huge difference in keepers. Pretty sure we’re going to get a cod in may, September and October. April definitely the coldest month, but haddock and reds were excellent last year. Anxious to see how she runs

Heavy hearts

Capt Dave ( Dave Arlit ) lost his battle with cancer early this morning. Dave was the guy, regardless of weather, always perched up on the bowsprit. If you have taken a few trips with us, I’m sure you probably met him. I can’t count the times in a season, when someone calling for reservations, would say, “ put me in the bow next to Dave “ Dave started fishing with us about 26-27 years ago when we were sailing out of Newburyport, and we’ve been great friends since. There have been a lot of crew mates come and gone in those years, but I knew come spring, Dave would be back in the bow and helping navigate the Bird. Tight lines bud, we’ll miss you dearly.

Pretty busy with the engine repower, lots of work not just in the engine room , but all the gear below the boat has to be changed also. Becky has posted the 2025 schedule on the trip schedule page, and is starting to take calls for the upcoming season. Hope you’re all awesome.
