What do I get to keep?

On haddock trips, clients keep all they catch pending catch limits and size restrictions. Filleting and bagging are included. You may also bring a cooler to take home your catch. If you don’t have a cooler though, don’t worry – we can keep the fish on ice until the end of the trip for you.

On Tuna trips, the laws do not allow the clients to keep the fish. That is governed by federal laws and only a permitted fishing vessel is allowed to keep a tuna. You will be credited 20% on your next trip for all commercial sales of the tuna. If we land a short, under the recreational rules, pending quota restrictions, that one can be cut up and taken home.
