About Red Hake

A bottom-dwelling fish found in the Northeast Atlantic from the Chesapeake Bay to Canada. Red Hake are typically caught while bottom fishing for cod and haddock. They are good eating when prepared fresh. Known scientifically as Urophycis chuss.

Red Hake hold in deep water/mud bottom, typically running 1-5 lbs on the rod, with a fight rated light, and table fare considered good.

Red Hake charters on Party Boats USA depart from Rhode Island, where local captains know the structure, depth, and seasonal windows that produce fish.
