About Us
Report
Collin Mackenzie is a Licensed USCG Captain who has fished hard since he was a young child. Growing up in Gloucester on the Annisquam River, Collin was always on the water. After college, in addition to fishing, Collin worked and managed Fisherman's Outfitter's main shop in Gloucester. While there, Collin gained an incredible knowledge of gear, tackle and rigging.
Jim
Report
Captain Jim Ansara began fishing at age 10 with his older brother in a 16' wooden dory in Ipswich Bay. At 18 he was fishing out of Cape Cod: first jigging, then long-lining cod on George's Banks. Jim soon turned to construction for his occupation, becoming a carpenter and electrician, and then building his own company.
First Light Anglers
Report
We built the Karen Lynn specifically to be our dream boat for specialized offshore charters and the commercial fishing we do in the off-season. It is without question one of the most comfortable, seaworthy, and rigged fishing machines in the Northeast. We chose to partner with our friends at First Light Anglers because we thought there was a great mutual fit.
The Boat
Report
The Karen Lynn is a 2007 state-of-the-art 43 foot Downeast fishing boat. We had a Northern Bay 36, which was a great boat for five years. In 2005 we started thinking about building a bigger boat-one that would have a big spacious deck, hold 800 gallons of fuel for Canyon trips, have large capacity for keeping fish and ice, and most importantly, would allow us to comfortably fish almost every day regardless of the weather.
Upgrades
Report
We completed some major upgrades to the Karen Lynn that we thought were going to help our customers catch more of the larger Blue Fin Tuna that we knew were going to be in our local waters in the next few years. The major school of fish that came to Cape Ann and the Gulf of Maine has grown from an average size 100-120 pounds to what we expect will be over 200 pounds.
