04 · For table fish lovers

Extended Half‑Day Bottom Fishing — Haddock, pollack and flounder

5 HoursAll agesBottom fishing
Lines set over the side during nearshore bottom fishing
Five-hour trips target ledges for haddock and pollack, with shore options if conditions require.

The Extended 1/2 Day Bottom Fishing trip is built around nearshore ledges where haddock, pollack and flounder are the primary targets. The operator material stresses flexibility: if offshore conditions are rough or bottom fishing is slow, captains will remain closer to shore and pursue striped bass or winter flounder instead. The five-hour length gives captains the time to reach productive ledges while still offering a half-day schedule.

The listing specifies the typical gear profile—7' medium to heavy bottom rods with high-speed reels and 50 lb test for heavier targets, lighter tackle for flounder—and indicates that bait and tackle are provided onboard. For anglers who prize table-quality species and a methodical approach to finding structure, this is an efficient, focused option.

The operator notes a heated cabin, booth seating, restrooms and a full galley serving breakfast and lunch, which makes the trip suitable for family groups and anglers who prefer creature comforts on shorter voyages.

The listing also addresses accessibility and onboard beverage policy, explaining that crew will assist passengers with wheelchairs when possible, and that the vessel sells beer and spirits rather than permitting outside alcohol. For those seeking a dependable, shorter alternative to an all-day run, this is a solid, well-appointed choice.
