Bunny Clark Deep Sea Fishing

Last Edited May 16, 2014

Selected Digital Images from Bunny Clark Trips Past

The pictures above were taken aboard the Bunny Clark during two different fishing trips. The shot on the left shows Keith Borkowski (CT) holding his 53 pound Maine state trophy cod caught on the November 10, 2002 offshore marathon trip. This cod was the third largest cod caught during the 2002 fishing season and the largest cod Keith has ever caught. The shot on the right was taken on the July 9, 2001 half day trip. The picture shows seven year old Justin Pollard (ME) and his father, Bob, holding Justin's 13 pound cod. At the time, this was Justin's largest fish ever and the pool winning fish for that trip. Scenes like these, good fishing and fun times are the things we strive for on the Bunny Clark.

The F/V Bunny Clark

Perkins Cove, Ogunquit, Maine

The Bunny Clark is a forty foot fiberglass deep sea fishing boat built in 1983 and specially designed to carry passengers with speed, comfort and stability. She is powered by a Volvo D13-700 tier 3 fully electronic diesel engine (New April 28, 2015) which delivers 700 horsepower and is insulated to reduce noise. This engine allows the Bunny Clark to cruise at a maximum of 16.5 knots with full tanks of fuel in reasonable weather. A spacious bathroom (by boating standards) is located forward for your convenience. The deck area is equipped with rod holders and seating for everyone with ample space for your coolers and belongings. A large canopy covers most of the deck to protect from rain or spray. Special groundfish, like the like the ones shown above, are the kind of fish we like to target.

The fishing is mostly bottom fishing for cod, pollock, halibut, haddock, hake, cusk, redfish, monkfish and mackerel (wolffish retention is prohibited). Anglers may use bait or jigs. The bait is Maine shrimp, surf clams or mackerel. We usually drift fish. However, we will anchor when anchoring is more productive. When you catch your fish the crew will be there to gaff and land it for you. During the fishing trip, the mate will prepare or fillet your fish if you desire. We provide small plastic freezer bags with the fillets at no extra charge. Gratuities are accepted.

The fishing equipment is mostly custom made:

• We don't have rental rods. What other deep sea fishing companies call "rental rods", we offer for use as a service with the price of your ticket. These "boat rods" were all custom designed by me, Tim Tower, and were built through Saco Bay Tackle Co. in Saco, Maine and Surfland Bait & Tackle, Newbury, Massachusetts. They are a fiberglas/graphite mix with extended foregrips (comfort) and probably the best rod for either bait fishing or jigging. These rods are fitted with Penn 113H reels loaded with Izoreline line in 50 pound test strengths. I believe that this combination offers the angler the most comfortable and forgiving fishing system that can be found anywhere for all people of any range of fishing ability.

• We offer custom made jigging sticks in either graphite or fiberglass construction. These rods have been designed for the expert angler by me, Tim Tower, and are the result of years of testing with many prototypes in various fishing conditions. They are fitted with modified Penn 113H reels. These reels are different than the Penn 113H reels offered on the boat rods as they are designed for the ultimate in casting ability, line retrieve and comfort in reeling. These custom reels are loaded with Spectra braided lines (for less stretch and more sensitivity) with a monofilament leader adjusted in length to conform to the individual angler's demands.

• Our terminal gear is mostly custom made as well. Our prefered jigs are the Lavjig (12 to 16 onces) although we do carry jigs made by Danny Angerman and various Norwegian jigs. These jigs have been used to catch many trophy fish as well as most of our world and state records. We sell custom made cod flies, rubber baits (Mojos) and bait rigs aboard.

Guests fishing on the Bunny Clark are not required to (but can if they desire) bring any fishing equipment as rods and reels, bait, various jigs and teasers are all provided at no extra charge. However, guests are responsible for lost gear. Persons may sit and fish with bait or stand and jig. All that is needed to enjoy a day of fishing is a warm sweater and lunch. During rough and rainy weather, rain jackets and rubber boots are suggested. Boots are also suggested if you are fishing on the stern. Beer is permitted (3 bottles/person max.) but bottles can't be opened until the boat is offshore. Hard liquor is prohibited. Intoxication will not be tolerated and the boat will be brought back to port (without ticket refunds) if drinking of alcohol cannot be controled.
