Last week we booked a private fishing charter on the Lady D. with Coastal Fishing Charters leaving right from Rose’s Wharf in Gloucester (same dock as Cape Ann Whale Watch). It was a tough choice to decide whether to do a striped bass trip or head off-shore for haddock fishing. Ultimately we took Captain Nick’s advice and went out in search of haddock. Once off-shore we immediately started to catch. The boys didn’t have to wait long in between bites and two of the times that we made a move to another spot we actually encountered dolphins! We are obviously aware that dolphin encounters aren’t guaranteed, but we were really happy to see them!
Our mate, Dylan, was extremely attentive and alternated between preparing bait, helping the boys with their gear, and cleaning fish. He was extremely careful to measure each haddock very accurately if there was any doubt that it was a keeper and he taught the boys how to do so as well. I lost track of how many fish we caught….I’m going to guess about 30…of six different species. The boys caught LOTS of haddock, some cod, some red fish, mud hake, cunner, and something else that I can’t remember. As it got close to time to head back to shore, Dylan started to clean our many keepers…..not an easy job…and bagged up the fish that we wanted to take home.
Captain Nick humored the boys who had many questions. Always curious, they wanted to know all about the fish he has caught, the depth of the water, and what the ocean floor looked like in each spot. He made sure that the boys had a great trip and was excited to put them on some good fish.
It was such a great day on the water and one the boys won’t soon forget. I am so happy that we booked the trip and are already talking about booking again early next summer to catch some big stripers.
If you want a day on the water and the opportunity to catch some nice fish, consider booking your private trip as well. You can learn more at their website here:

Hey Joey,
We’re big fans of Good Morning Gloucester and live on the west side. Thought I’d share a few storm pictures taken from our jetski as we rushed to back from Wingaersheek.

On Sunday morning the sun was shinning and Shore Road again did not disappoint.
Gloucester, Massachusetts/USA – August 20, 2020 – Jane Deering Gallery, Gloucester’s premier art gallery, announces an exhibit showcasing experimental artist Donna Caselden and contemporary artist M. Kristine Fisher. Awry | Just Breathe, inspired by these historic times, presents two different interpretations in response to “the noise” of the current Covid19 pandemic. Awry — Nothing seems quite right in the world, everything is a bit off kilter. All pieces are intentionally misaligned and act as a metaphor for the angst and discord in today’s world. Just Breathe — As an antidote to the disarray, these works reflect the way in which Cape Ann’s transporting beauty, discovered along daily beach walks and explorations, provides comfort, healing, and renewal. Jane Deering Gallery is located at 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester MA. Gallery hours: Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 1-3pm, September 25 through October 12, and by appointment. Please contact Donna Caselden at dcaselden@gmail.com.
Donna Caselden is an award winning experimental artist whose diverse work ranges from 2-dimensional paintings to wearable art. She is a member of Cape Ann’s Experimental Art Group at Rockport Art Association & Museum, The Society for the Encouragement of the Arts (seARTS), Rocky Neck Cultural Center, Boston’s Fort Points Art Community (FPAC), the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA), and is a Master Artist of the Newburyport Art Association. The artist is represented by Gallery on Jarves in Sandwich, Massachusetts. She maintains a studio in the seaside village of Annisquam in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Her work is held in museums, galleries and private collections throughout the country and was exhibited at the renowned Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts. www.donnacaselden.com.
Kristine Fisher creates mixed media work deeply influenced by an extensive career in commercial architectural design during her tenure with global leader, Herman Miller. She is drawn to bold forms, sculptural elements, and graphic composition. She has exhibited with numerous North Shore arts organizations, including the Experimental Group, Rockport Art Association Museum (RAAM), Rockport, MA; Rocky Neck Art Colony, Gloucester, MA; Newburyport Art Association, Newburyport, MA; The Society for the Encouragement of the Arts (seARTS), MA; and Jane Deering Gallery, Gloucester, MA. www.kristinefisher.com.
