Party, Charter or otherwise?
Looking for a Jan or Feb trip out for a few.
Anyone have suggestions of who and where to go with?

It's not worth going for only 2 fish and charter boats can't keep cod with the closeures!!!

So 2 fish and no exemptions?

I'm thinking of going Saturday weather permitting east of Chatham. You can take 10 cod per day out there.

Gonna be after the holiday's for me. I need to keep my points!!!

Try the Helen-H out of Hyannis. They fish George's Bank as weather allows. No 2 fish bag limit.

Boats fishing Georges (i.e., Nantucket shoals) have been crushing the cod recently. Nothing too hugh, but plenty in numbers.

I fished my 1st cod trip on the HH Monday, 12/11. I honestly can not tell you where we went. I guesstimate ESE direction, 2 hours 40 minutes at 20 knots, maybe 100-120' deep. I did not "crush" them, 25 lbs. of fillet. I think I had the a below average catch of the anglers fishing the bow. The angler on my right and the angler on my left each exceeded a 120 cooler, they crushed 'em with 35-40 fish apiece. A really great day overall.

Is that you Art ?

25 LB's of cod fillet - sound's like it was well worth it.....
I prefer cod fishing than going inshore boating for bass...I don't like boat fishing for stripers - particularly don't like bouncing around in a speedy center con without a head.....

Sounds Great!!!
I will be going in Jan. I would like to go on an extended trip. Joe knows where the fish are. I've been on the boat and I honestly cannot tell where we go either. His log book must be rather thick.
