on your boat and we can head out off plymouth pick a day watch the weather and head out I know I feel safer with other boats out there would love to get into some cod before it gets to late! let me know if this sparks any intrest with others!!

Funny we were just talking about that on another forum I am in. I use to fish out there at crab leadge I think it was called. Use to do ok. But when cod went to 23" it kind of went down hill, all small fish.
I would be interested, I have a 20 foot Wellcraft V20 with a 175 Yamaha

Mike, still plenty of time for Cod fishing. I fish them into November usually. Let's do it. I'll take my boat out (another V20 Wellcraft)

with a out board you can go all winter!! They are there. BigBO we also got to go out of Chatam or with Bshrimp??

i'll tell my dad we are prob deff up for it 21 footer

we got us a convoy!!!

what is wrong with your boat, mrmacy? my friend has a 20 green hydracraft skiff for bay and flat fishing. he once rode to the stegwellegan banks for cod and bluefin, but no luck. and he went by HIMSELF! what kind of ur boat is suited for?

i dont think anythng is wrong with his boat but it is just better with more boats just incase somthing happines '' knock on wood ''
also it going to be FUN!!!!! yay!! COD FISHING! i havent been out in the boat for over a week i'm going crazy!!!

but if it goes down I allways like the thought of another near by never know going out when someone is going to breakdown or need help Plus i like the company

get used to shore fishing, man. it's more healtier and active...;) gotta make urself look fit for ur wifey.

i know how to jig cod.;) hint hint

So when we going?? Notaro you can keep yur shore fishing!! I will go boating anytime over shore.

yup, i aim to be a surfcaster. no cash for boat yet...

who me?:D i got a rod or two and jigs n rigs too.

dad ordered all the parts we need, some have arrived some havent. not going to be this bass season, maybe the cod season when it gets here.

i build monster cod rigs :D

Intrest Im inviting 3 people with me we can come up with a calm day in october make it a nice day out there saturday would be cool leave plymouth early morning 7-8 am nice day cod fishing sound good!!

october sounds great, but not before or on 11th, tawianse's independence day performance at the city hall in beantown. i got my own rigs, but no rods for cods. no money now...

and no bumpy sea...:D

plymouth in the morning is like a bathtub and it is cool also to follow out all the big lobster and tuna boats too:D

I will be camping Columbus Day weekend , any other weekens is fine. Or even a week day, I am retired you no
:laughs:

Does this date sound good weather permiting I got budfan8 looking for 2 more to bounce jigs and clams for cod! we can meet early in plymouth Harbor ramp Help each other launch Someone that knows where to go can lead the way fish, picnic, good time on the water!!:happy:

could we do it any earler? for us i/b people :D

I have an i/b and that will probably be my last trip with the boat this year even though november holds some awsome days down RI way as long as the temps stay up there the boat will be fine into november!!

ok but i know my dad will want the boat in by than?? hes home now i will let him post..

25 is a tues day :( dad works and i got's school....

I/O will be just fine till Dec. I use to keep mine ready till then or end of Nov. you have to get below frezz for days at a time to frezz it good.
I am glad I am now a Outboard guy!!

your looking at november 25th about 30 days from now that way we can get everything planned on who wants to attend this something like an end of the boating year for most of us if I had a garage I would use it all year, Conn is a fun time in jan feb! so lets see if we can get a few involved with this we try a cod trip every year maybe if we plan it for october itll work this year!

sh*t boston boat show in oct 5!!!!

oct 25th :smash: :smash: :smash:

ok shoot me and call me matty but we are going! and its the day b4 my dads b-day too :)

i know where the hell did i pull oct 5 out of my a$$???

Just one more shamless boat ride beg.. ;}
I can do this in some ones boat...

Mr Macy head a little more north to either Green Harbor (Marshfield) or Scituit Harbor, both better ramps and closer to the cod. All the head boats out of Plymouth fish up there and if the weather cooperates you can run to Stellwagon. The last few years the inshore cod has been excellant and offshore better with lots of tasty haddock thrown in. I got some spots and can get # for GPS coordinates.

they say thats a nice ramp but i dont know the area if someone wants to step up here and be the tour leader out of scituate im game

me to!!

:D Let's do it!

Sure if someone puts me on one of the boats I'll lead you guys around. Let me know what day and I'll see if I can make it. Myself I think Green Harbor is the best bet for easy access, Farnum Rock is just outside of it and the "H" Bouy is good, there is also the Pinthias wreck near there if you check your charts you can see all of this. Tough to jig around there because of the hangs but bait works good, if you get the day Stellwagon is about 25 miles depending on your boat size and the weather.

its the 25 october I got budfan and you Im still looking for one more passenger who wants to bounce clams

I will be keeping the calendar clear for that day! we will go out of green harbor that way we wont have to motor that far I figure throw in something for a pool for biggest "cod" that day I would love to get into haddock!

green haba??? thought we were going out of plymouth?

Ooh Ooh!! Pick me!! I wanna go!

sounds like a plan to me!!

Bump :D


/ al

Bring the anchor Mike :smash:

want in on this!

OK, I guess I'm not invited :( . Slip, have a good time.

Im sorry you asked first of course you can go! my boat is full anyone gonna backout do it before the day so someone else can go!!

Cod fishing is good for 4 to a boat. I will have room for 2 if someone wants to go with me.

ME ME ME OH OH pick me.. ooh ooh//

/ al

Thanks mrmacey!

I was just bustin ya a little but I'd love to go. Haven't been boat fishing in about 15 years. Whatdya want me to bring?

talk later cal!

Bring Slip he likes to chum!:D

I'll probably have room for a couple on my boat as well.

it's ok Mike, I'll be chumming the waters of the canal then :)

Canalratt likes it when I turn green.

Have fun guys.

Hey Tony :wavey:

That will be smack dab in the middle of my fall run :D - would've loved to go but I don't try for cod til after mid November - unless we try the Cod Trip that never was # 3

BAD NEWS for me talked to the wife about the 25th and she reminded me we have to go to my daughters Fall Fest at her college!:af: Looks like I'm out but will answer any ? on tackle, rigs and spots for yah, if the day gets changed to another weekend day let me know would love to get out. John I'm still game for a trip but only if Slip and BM can make it!:D

a sb charter for mid november if we plan it now we might be able to get a boat on the day we want

eeeeee sounding badd as time goes on....

still striper fishing through october but I am willing to do this if the intrest keeps up!!

first plan sounded good 2 me ... out of plymouth, oct 25 :)

but I know what there talking about when we leave plymouth we have to head north to the ledges anyway Let me talk to a guy from plymouth and see what he says I like plymouth too if we have each other to help launch!

me and my dad have dont it alone b4. All you do when its just me and my dad i go inside the boat while my dad backs the truck in he unhooks the boat i start it up and than he parks the truck, there is a little floating dock to the right of the ramp that i dock it at he walkes over and hops in the boat and BAM! where done :) I'm sure there will be pleanty of people to help eachother launch

I personally feel that Headboats are a crapshoot and alot of times a waste of time and $$
If you can get to the fish in your own boat and have the right tackle etc you'll do just fine.

GPS coordinants from Canalratt would be great providing one of the boats has a GPS onboard??

If we are all thinking positive about this we are gonna need big coolers full of ice! Thats gonna take up alot of room on these boats!.
Hey mike, can you picture your boat with a bunch of cod all over the deck??!!!!:laughs: Or better still in the cabin

:smash:

rope over the side!! or filet in the small cooler then split at end of day!!:smash: :smash: cod fishing is an up and down bounce or jig no casting so my boat can hold four two on the corners and two on the sides its about including some of the guys that never get out

coolers will deff take up our boat lol i have a gps but it's only a hand held... any one have a chartplotter that woulde really help us out :)... well since boat fish dont count y would anyone want to go???:smash: :smash: :laughs:

by the stars Im no help!

so where are we going to run out too?? how far? what '' spot''

that I know of but we got a month to figure this all out!

hey guys, i was wondering if any of you have available space on your boat. i dont have any rod for cods, but a few of rigs for it. i could help you with gas money, cuban cigars, or whatever to split the costs or something like that... i will bring food and drinks for anyone on the boat. im trying to conserve money for a new apartment...

http://www.doubledown.net/graphics/limos/cad_escalade003.jpg

ML, :confused: :confused:

i put that pic up for mrmacey
:D

oh, my bads, man.

cant do the fillet idea as only charter boats have the right to clean and discard the remains at sea. You must be able to show that the fish is of legal size.

Maybe we should bring an extra boat just to put the fish on?:laughs:


Like you said mike we have plenty of time to figure it all out!

i know i'll be bringing 3 coolers.

Sure, rub it in... I haven't caught a fish for the table in over a month :mad:

Same thing here, man. CAL, if we hook up on the cape, I am pretty sure that we will catch Black sea bass on Bourne. My uncle's dock should be able to have them by now...

So what is the plan for this weekend? eeling or plugging? smelts are in back river... fried smelts for cold holidays sure keep you contented:)

Notaro, I'll probably be plugging, but I lost my favorite today. A Bassmaster danny, that thing swam pissa. Some boat owner on the Neponset is gonna be happy when he finds it stuck to his gunnel :mad: . I almost worked up the courage to swim out and get it :eek:

Where you wanna go this weekend?

Where we can jig for smelts with grass shrimps on sabaki jig and plugging for basses without bluefish in the way!:D :D :D

Well as I said before I can take 2 persons. Two sides two corners. I have two fish boxs in the floor that can hold 100# each and I will have a big cooler as this is the seat for the two people that fish with me. I only have 2 seats cause I like ROOM. I also have a commercial lic. So we can have 200 # on my boat!
I am going to try to get out on a trip out of Chatam this week?? Hoping the weather will be good??

do you guys drive!

What the hell would 3 people do with 200# of fish in one day?

4 50lbers:happy: :happy: :happy:

Clean them , put in the frige and have fish for the winter!! If you have 4 people on the boat divide up to 50 # each then you lose at least 1/2 the weight to waste you have 25 # meat per person.
I guess you don't fish to eat?? Or clean to many fish?

Also I said that I could bring 2 persons with me as I have one budy that is already going, so that is 4 on the boat.
Hey you could go with me if you want? and I will keep your 50 and show you what to do with them. :jump:

I suppose once you have a freezer full of meat the rest can be C&R.

I have a freezer full of skunk.

Just one thing, who is leading this party ???
I have not been out there for about 5 years and I did not to good then. And was fishing from memory from 3 years befor that. No GPS back then.
Anyone have #'s out there?? none spots?? The only spots I know for Cod is 10 to 20 miles out of Chatam.
I hear Marsfield is better?? But same problem, who will lead the bunch of nutty fisherman out there??

I am still in Ill know more as the week progresses Ill know by sure wed thurs lets watch the weather if nobody knows a spot I do or ill find out for sure from someone! Who is supposed to be coming with me budfan you still in

Thanks Mr. M I thought you were out. Hope you can make it!!

Stripinline, is your buddy going or just you?? My other buddy bailed and I am replacing him. just a ??

I just made up my mind fishing its probably gonna be the last time out for a long time Im trying to sell the boat so I can have one more good trip take a day off from work cant do any work if truck is attached to boat Ill pass off my work Lets go fishing got to get my rod set up take off the lead core what would you put on a 113 for line drink more coffee !!!!

I have spider wire on mine as it is thin so there is less drag on the line in deep water. I have my rigs made of 50 # mono with two hooks for bait fishing and I have 80# leader with teasers and a big jig 15 to 21 oz for deep water jiging.
I also have a eletric reel for that deep water.

Glad to see your In !!

I dont think we have to go to far to fish ill keep ya posted, later LINK:cool:

Well I like getting in at day break?? TThat ramp is an all tide ramp so there is not a problem of tides.
Maybe we can try for some Bass while waiting for the tide for Cod??
But I am blind in this area, have never fished there for anything but Cod abd even that is limted :smash:
Anyone that has fished this area, Are we bait fishing for the Cod or using Jigs?? I use to use Seaclams for bait in the High Pine area.
Just trying to get ready, 3 days left to get ready!!

Cod :happy: Cod

Wish I could go but its cookie jar time...

Its been cookie jar time for me for along time!!
My battery in the boat is 5 years old and just about gone :( So I am putting it in my truck and taken my brand new battery and putting it in the boat for this trip!
Were there is a will there is a way!!

Does anybody have a room for me to join? PM me if any of you have one. I'll help you with the costs.

High pine is out around the other side the Gernet. I am game for anytime. I guess we should meet at the ramp?? Its easy to get to and pleanty of room for parking.
I guess we will need sea clams and some Mackrel for bait.
50 # test for the cod and some sinkers to 10oz. Make sure you have pleanty!! You can lose them in the rocks.
Use your regular bass set up for basss.

Notaro, sorry my boat is full 4 people. Maybe you can hitch a ride with someone else.

BigBo, are you going?

Sorry to disappoint Notaro. I've got to be in Boston for the final phase of testing for a job I've been trying to land. This was short notice but getting a job has got to be #1 priority right now. It's almost in the bag.
I personally think you all should be heading out of Green Harbor, Marshfield or Weymouth. There are better Cod spots closer to shore in these areas. But, if you're heading out of Plymouth for convenience, you can still run to the Marshfield areas. Get a chart of that area and look for the wrecks off of Brant Rock. Probably 6 miles out. Maybe a little less. Also some good rocky areas around the "H" Buoy. Still too early in the season for High Pine Ledge off of Duxbury I think. As it is, if you want the "steakers" you still need to make a run out to Stellwagen.
Good luck, wish I could make it. I'll be making a bass run out later in the day when I get back. Weekend weather is shaping up real nice.:happy:

Alright, BigBo. that is no problem. And I just realized that I am going on a cod trip next weekend with FWW, BM, and Glocuester2 on Ave Maria Charters.

As for bassing, I am keep trying to catch a bass on my plugs. I had lost my atom green mack popper and 3 oz kastmaster w/ a green tube tail at the east end last weekend. I recently purchased a gibb 1 oz pencil popper in dark green mack color. When you say bassing, it pops my mind up. So how did u do with striper fishing on the boat lately?

Last trip out on the boat was Friday night into Saturday morning. Check my report in Current Reports forum titled "Last Night".
Good luck on the Cod trips.

Alright, if the guys have a space for me. If not, then no biggie. Anyway, thanks for the shore info. I will do some research. I hope I can go there, but if not, I can try in March and April for surfcasting cods and cold water fish. I already checked a map of south shore. Scituate looks like I need to drive a 4x4 on the beach.

No, I fished these areas out of my boat. The spots mentioned are not accessible from shore. No 4x4's allowed on Scituate beaches. Closest beach available for 4x4's is Duxbury.
