Put out of Gloucester early sunday morning. We got into some decent size pollock, cusk and haddock to about 24inch in about 250 ft of water. Caught a nice wolf fish too. Overall though, it was pretty slow.

went on tuesday and had a great day. Good weather and lots of pollock. Probally hit or miss whether a school comes through, the capt. told the boat to switch to jigs and before it hit the bottumn A fish was on. My dad and I finished the day with a half dozen pollock and a few haddock, my arms still hurt.

Well since the weather was suspect early, the captain never really took us out of sight of land... granted - we were WAY out there, but you could always just make it out.

That being said.. I crushed on short cod.. Prolly caught at least 20 of them... all on jigs/teaser.... but noone in our party had a haddock (some were using clams) - no pollock.. and we managaed only 5 keeper cod out of all we caught...

The captain brought us into two swarms of redfish... which were fun at first then just a nusiance because bringing in a 16oz redfish on a 22oz jig 220 feet kinda sucks when happening in repetition.

The poolwinner was my uncle.. with an 8lb cod... which also kinda sucked.. but he still made his $$ back.. so cant complain too much
