1.6 at the B buoy now. Looks good!

Thanks, Jules. Okay, I got a stupid question for you. How do you twitch a slug-go with a ten foot surf rod? I did the 45 degree angle, but find it uncomfortable doing twitching it.

How'd you guys/gals do? Is cod on the menu tonight???

Fisherwoman and Jack O
 

I sincerly apologize just getting back to you both now...unfortunately I had to go out of town on business (and still trying to get back).

I truly hope I did not inconvenience either of you.

I will definetely be going out again, hopefully next week.

Cheers.

ps....how was the fishing???

;) No Problem Misterb, sometimes things just can't be helped.

Macojoe, Bigbo nice meeting up with you guys today, you guys are too funny. Hope you had a safe ride home.

Swede Good to see you again also.

I just got in, and all we caught were 4 keepers today, let go about 15 shorts and only caught a few dogfish today, still some mackerel still around. This morning was a little more kicked up that the f$#@$ weather forcast called for as usual!!!! We had 2 ft + this morning so was hard to get to where we wated to be, but finally got out to the B-bouy. Got a few cod just east of the B and some shorts, so we started working our way in. Got a few keepers off of the BG bouy then went over to Nahant, all shorts, so headed back out to the BG and got a couple more keepers there, but mostly shorts.

Swede is the dogfish master of the day from what it sounded like. I think Bigbo and Macojoe got a couple keepers, But it was a pretty slow day. I hate it when it gets dark so freakin early. Water was flat as a pancake when we came in.

All in all it was a tough day, lost 4 cod jigs, broke a guide on a rod. Fell down and smacked my back pretty good in the boat. NEVER go back to mono after braid, it SUCKS!!!!! Couldn't switch the reel off of the rod with the broken guide cause the reel seat seized up. BUT other than that Schoolie monster and I had a great day. SM got his 1st taste of cod fishing and it was nice to see the little twinkle in his eye when he hooked up. Ended up beautiful out there this evening. Too bad we didn't have about another 4 hours of daylight!!!!!!

Well I hope you guys had a good time and learned some new spots, sure wish the fishing would have been better for ya but I can't control them little bastards!!!!!!!!:laughs:

FW, nice metting you too as well as schoolie monster.:wavey:
It was a beautiful day on the water today. Like you said though, too bad the Cod weren't really around:huh:
We got back in okay, no problems. When we were out past the "B" Buoy with Swede, he was really punishing those dogs. Didn't see him again after he went out to the Flemish Cap though.
Always an adventure:laughs: fishing with macojoe. Thanks buddy:jester:

It was great to see you all yesterday! I really kicked some Dogfish butt :smash: We tried further east but the only difference was the dogs got bigger :fishslap: Those dogs are tough! One had an unfortunate accident where he somehow got cut in half from snout to dorsal and swam away like nothing happened :laughs:..No keeper Cod but several that almost made it. They are supposed to be edible. Anybody ever tried one? :yak:

I ain't eatin anything that pisses through it's skin:eek5: :yak: :hs:

If you've ever had fish and chips in England you likely have eaten dogfish. It is delicious, just have to prep it like any shark that doesn't have kidneys. Bleed and gut asap, otherwise nasty ammonia builds up.

-WW

:err: :yak: :hs:

:rolleyes: I'm with Bigbo on that one.

Of course you should have heard Swede out there that day on the radio when somebody was asking him how to catch dogfish that they wanted to catch some. Too funny, he told them to use bait. guy says what kind of bait, Swede say Swordfish pieces work really good, even better yet ya might want to use lobster or shrimp. Guy finally caught on and said, do you think they would take it if I put my wallet on the hook:laughs: :laughs:

:bl2: Funny thing was, neither macojoe or myself caught a dog that day.:huh: Not that I wanted one. I just thought it odd.:wiggle: :angel:

I didn't use any bait! The bastages were hitiing my jigs! :smash:

I @ss hooked one dog on the jig... it peeved me off cause I thought I had a big cod on. They fight pretty well when you hook 'em right. But that was too funny... swordfish and lobster for dogfish.

FW, thanks a bunch, I needed that day out and that's pretty awesome. I'm starting to really enjoy trying new things. After hearing many times that cod don't fight, I was impressed. I only got one of the keepers, but got a bunch just short and they are fun once they get to a few lbs. I'd like to see how a 20lber does. Tough to beat a day like that in November.

I think you're selling us short on #s though, I had about 10 when we went back to BG at the end and I got 4 or 5 more there, and you had about the same as me I thought. Sure, some of them were about 8", but remember, when fishing you overestimate, never under! Gotta be like my uncle. We were out once and caught 7 bluefish... by the time we got in, he was counting hooked fish and we were up to 12, by that evening, he must have been counting fish he saw busting, cause he told a guy we got close to 20, and there were albies in the mix. I started to wonder what day he was talking about and whether I had really been there.

Tough day on the equipment, that guide really made it tough by cutting off a couple jigs and half a spool of braid before we found that crack.

As usual, I learned alot out there and had a good time.

I hope we can get out again in the next couple weeks. Light winds, light winds!

Nice to meet Bigbo and macojoe as well.

;) No problem SM, glad you had a good time. Gonna go out tomorrow and give it another try, hopefully we will get into a bunch and rip some lips, I'll let everybody know how we do.
