I took this picture on the right during the May 21, 2026 offshore marathon trip. The digital image shows Mike Mendola (NY) holding a double keeper haddock catch, both fish caught on the same line at the same time, just after he lifted them out of the water. During the last two weeks, in most cases, if you have two hooks and you wait a bit after you get the first fish on, you will get another. The haddock have been plentiful enough on some trips to be able to get two even if you aren't patient. That was the case with Mike's two haddock. Mike's haddock weighed 6.1 pounds and 6 pounds. He caught an 8 pound Maine state trophy haddock a little while after he caught that double. During the last hour of the trip we had all the haddock aboard that we could legally keep. So all but two anglers, Mike being one, kept fishing. During that time he also caught another 8 pound Maine state trophy haddock. Since I had already taken a picture of his other 8 pounder, I just wrote down the weight and tossed the fish back alive and flipping. It's starting off to be a very different season. We have been catching a lot of haddock. There have been some days where we have caught the whole boat's collective bag limit. The slowest day netted us half the boat's collective bag limit (15 X the number of people aboard). But on every trip this season several anglers have always caught fifteen legal haddock or more. This is the first year in five years that the haddock we have been catching have been mostly resident haddock or those haddock that have over-wintered on the grounds we have been fishing. These are a better tasting fish than the new, mostly spawning (or spawned out), fish we have seen during the previous springs. During the last week, these resident fish have been over-shadowed by the newer offshore spawned out fish. Some of the bigger haddock we have been catching are big because they still haven't spawned yet. The water temperature is so much colder than it has been in so many years. Before we started fishing I had told everyone that I believed the haddock were going to spawn offshore, that we wouldn't see the new fish on the grounds we most frequent. That is probably not quite true. We have been seeing the new haddock but, I suspect, most of these haddock did spawn offshore. The bigger haddock are late, for sure. Haddock are so much different than cod as it concerns their reproductive habits. Cod go to specific areas to spawn whereas haddock can spawn anywhere. This makes chasing haddock so much more fun. This because when you come across a school of new haddock on the machine, they show up like a sore thumb. And they are almost never where you expect to find them. This makes it a great surprise. The party/charter boats to the south of us are now starting to pick up haddock on a regular basis. During the first part of April, before we started fishing, they were having trouble catching any haddock. Are we all catching them now because the water temperature is finally warming and the fish are sensitive to this? Or is this a population shift dependant of some other environmental or biological factor? We caught ten Maine state trophy haddock on this trip that Mike was on. This is exceptionally good haddock fishing. Will we see the same or more bigger fish when we sail again? Or did we hit it just right and we will start seeing the haddock diminish in size as they move out of our region and to some other area, like into Canadian waters? It's the not knowing that makes my job most fun. But it's the anglers I take that make me love this job so much. In fact, this has never been a job to me. Special fish like Mike's are the kind of fish we like to see on caught on the Bunny Clark.
