Bunny Clark Deep Sea Fishing

2025 Fishing Season

The digital image (I love this picture and probably won't change it! This is the epitome of what good fishing is all about; big fish, great anglers and perfect weather.) above was taken during our longest offshore trip (twenty-four hours) called the ultra marathon. This one, on July 19, 2005, was one of the more enjoyable Ultras. But it will be most remembered by the number of large cod that were caught on the trip. Also, the weather was perfect with a calm ocean all day. Some of the best anglers I have ever known appear in the shot above. From right to left are Bob Withee (NH), to his left is Don Johnson (MA), Jim Feeney (MA) appears next to Don, Fred Kunz (NH) has the blue knife on his belt in the corner and Tim Williams (CT) has just hooked into a big one on the stern. All these anglers are hooked up to cod in the 30 pound range (more or less). It was the one time that year that I had the camera ready at the right time. Or so it seemed. The Ultra is much like our other marathons with slightly less anglers and a full twenty-two hour day on the water. Tickets for the Ultra are obtained by invitation only.

2025 Season Schedule and Rates

April 15 through November 4, on Selected Days

Edited January 27, 2025

Note: We will only be running eighty-five trips, all marathon & extreme day trips, this season with Tim Tower the sole captain. Reservations for the 2025 season will be commencing on Wednesday, February 1, 2025 at 6:00 AM local time or 0600 EST. Reservations will not be accepted "on-line", "in person", "email" or "by letter" until February 2, 2025. In fact, reservations are never accepted by letter or email. Ticket prices are remaining the same as they were during the 2024 fishing season. We are hoping that, even with the recent rise in fuel prices, we will not require a fuel charge as we had to request on every trip during the 2022 fishing season. If we do add a fuel surcharge during the 2025 season, we anticipate that it will be occasional in nature and minimal in price. Keep in mind that if diesel prices escalate to unreasonable values, we will have to add an additional charge for fuel. We don't anticipate anything else that will keep us away from the normal manner with which we run our business.

I am making several changes to the Bunny Clark fishing season. First, we do not plan to run any weekend trips. We may accept Saturday extreme day trips (10 hour trips) depending on the week. Second, I will only be running three trips a week. Third, every week will be slightly different except that we will be running every Tuesday and Thursday. Fourth, there will be no full day trips or half day trips.

CHARTERS ALSO AVAILABLE
EXTREME DAY FISHING TRIPS - 7 A.M. TO 5 P.M. - $145.00/person (Limited to 20 passengers). [I (Tim Tower - no one else) reserve the right to add one more person to any trip we offer, and that policy still stands.]

The Extreme Day trip dates for the 2025 fishing season are as follows:

April: 21 & 28
May: 5,12,19 & 30
June:2,9,16,23 & 30
July: 3,10,11,17,18, 21, 24, 28 & 31

September: 5,8,15,22 & 29
October:6,17,20 & 27

ARRIVAL TIME: Please arrive 1 hour before departure to secure your reservation.

MARATHON FISHING TRIPS - 5 A.M. to 5 P.M. - $200.00 per person (Max. 18 passengers). We are running 48 scheduled marathon trips this season. It is mandatory to call about departure times the day before your trip leaves. If you do not call you could be left on the dock if we leave earlier and you aren't there to leave with the boat. This has happened in the past. There are no refunds for missing the boat. If the weather is good and the fishing is better further offshore, we leave earlier (between 3 AM and 4 AM) in order to take advantage of calmer seas and faster cruising speeds.
Note: As has been scheduled since the 2014 season, the marathon trip is an event that takes place on Tuesdays & Thursdays, normally. Marathon trips used to sail Monday, Wednesday & Friday during the 2013 season and the years before. In previous years, most of our marathon trip charters occurred on Monday & Friday during the week.

Marathon Trips

1. Persons must be at the dock 1 hour before departure.
2. Very large and/or empty coolers are to be left ashore.
3. Persons are required to reconfirm between 11 AM and 6 PM (at the latest) the day before departure to determine the possibility of cancellation for bad weather and actual departure time. Depature time may vary 2 hours from schedule.
4. Full rain gear and waterproof boots are required on April, May, October & November trips. Full rain gear is always suggested & a very good thing to have on a marathon trip.

The Marathon trip dates for the 2025 fishing season are as follows:

April: 15,17,22,24 & 29
May:1,6,8,13,15,20,22,27 & 29
June:3,5,10,12,17,19,24 & 26
July:1, 22 & 29
August:5,12,19 & 26
September:2,4,9,11,16,18,23,25 & 30
October:2,7,9,14,16,21,23,28 & 30
November:4

The schedule calls for Tim Tower to be running all the trips as captain this season. This will be a pilot year, as with Captain Ian Keniston's passing, I don't plan to have another captain take his place, at the time of this writing. We are playing the whole year by ear. The outcome of this coming season will determine how we run the 2026 Bunny Clark fishing season.
