Haddock

Haddock fishing out of Hampton, New Hampshire, offers a fantastic opportunity to target a delicious and abundant groundfish. Similar to Cod, the best Haddock fishing is found offshore, around areas like Jeffrey's Ledge and Stellwagen Bank. These areas provide the rocky bottom structure that Haddock prefer. The peak season typically runs from spring through fall. A proven local technique is to use a multi-hook rig baited with clams or sea worms. Focus on keeping your bait near the bottom, and be prepared for a steady stream of bites. Many anglers find success drifting over promising areas, allowing the boat to cover more ground. Access to these productive fishing grounds is readily available through charter boats operating out of Hampton Harbor. They'll provide the necessary gear and expertise to maximize your chances of landing a good catch. The Haddock fishery in this region is generally well-managed, offering sustainable fishing opportunities.
