Fishing on Jeffrey's Ledge

Departing Hampton Harbor

On April 14, my friend Fred and I took an offshore fishing trip to Jeffrey's Ledge.


Preparing to board the M/V NORTHERN STAR

We went on board the M/V NORTHERN STAR, operated by Al Gauron out of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.  After an early morning departure, we motored for two hours to reach the fishing grounds.

Resting on the ride out

We fished an area of Jeffrey's Ledge about 30 miles off the coast of New Hampshire.  Fortunately the weather was excellent, with smooth seas and increasingly sunny skies.

Motoring to Jeffrey's Ledge

The fishing was pretty good.  Fred and I caught and kept a half dozen delicious redfish, and others on the boat caught haddock, cusk and other bottom fish.
