man, thats a deep water rig. I am used to like 30 lb mono and a 6 oz diamond jig, or clam belly w/ 5 oz lead and a teaser..... But that is a Rhody rig that worked when I was a kid and there were cod not too far off the beaches here in 40-60 ft of water. How deep will we be fishing? I have a 114H that isn't spooled with anything, but man that is a big ass reel to go codfishing.................

Well its a bit over kill!! I use to do it Commercial off Chatam and are in like 150 feet or deeper sometimes.
And I use to get 500# = aday!! So when you have that much reeling to do eletric is the way to go!!

any chance I can find out where our destnation will be ?, or approx. area it might be easier for me to launch from Plymouth,if not can I have some info on the ramp we will be using , all tide ramp? address? thank you , LINK SR.:cool:

Yea he needs 1,000,000,000 gal of water to get that thing off the trailer!! :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

:laughs: :smash: tides look good at both places , hey MJ shouldn't you be combing your hair( one hair) and brushing your teeth to get ready for work what kind of games are you playing tonight with the boy's? spin the perscription bottle? later , LINKSR:cool:

Remember what happened last year Cod Trip, me Backing down ramp and lost my brakes:af: :smash: :eek: Old Truck , Smelly dog ,new boat, link

So Now you see the advantages of having an old junkie boat like mine. you don't really care if it falls off the trailor :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

I remember what happened to you link ;)

hey Armand I have seen you in the Prov river ,I get my loads of cement there seen many BLITZes on the river wishing I had a rod, I tried to get your attention but my whistles are not loud enough I'm the nut on top of the tanker waving like a mad man
later LINK SR.:cool:

What do you think of the Dumping grounds for a starting point??

I've got 2 Pen 114 both with electramates;)

I've been wondering the same thought, where all 9 boats will go!

Anyone up for the trip out Cashes ledge ;)
I've got the range with my boat ;)

Eletric, Its the only way to go!!

My trailer is so scary!! The boat will fall right off if I am not careful!! I have the boat tounge crank as hi as it will go here in the yard, so that when it rains it will all just run out the back.
Well I like to losen the winch when it is sitting here in the yard just so that there is not a constant persure there on the bow hook.
Well I went out side one day and I saw the boat at the end of the safty chain!! It will roll right off if not for the chain!!
So I can launch in any water or none at all!

I have never been there or even no were it is?/ But I think I have like 150 mile range with my boat, give or take a mile or so.

Yes we definately need to come up with a plan.

80 miles east of Glouster, wow I have not got that kind of range!! I just looked it up

Yes need a plan!!

But I have never fished this area so we will need to rely on those who no the area!!

Thats going to be TRO, Quick Dision, and Radier Ron. I belive these guys all fish that area.

East of Stellwagen?
I'm not sure how far most are willing or able to go!

I'll be out there this Sat.:btu: :btu:
Hopefully all the way to Wildcat!!!

as far as the dumping grounds sometimes it holds fish, sometimes it doesn't. I sure aint going 80 miles off shore. I'll do stellwagon at best. No need to go way out there that time of year. I'll stay in shore and find plenty of fish :) Never failed yet.

Life is good. Hopefully Saturday will be spent out at Mud hole looking for some tuna and stripers. OK now beat me up about the cod thread :)
:happy: :happy: :happy: I'll jig the bottom if it makes you all happy.

I will agree we will not be going 80 miles!! But we will get fish and have a ball doing it!!

Lets hope so. I hope that we can run into some wolfish and big haddocks. :D Perhaps a halibut

where to go
 

I think we are asking for trouble if 9 or ten boats go out to wildcat. The chances of someone breaking down is high. Thats a long way back at 4 knots.

I am with you Quick!!

What do you use for a set up?? Rod Reel # line color jigs??

Just trying to get these set up with a Idea??

Or split up boats into two groups and each group search out for a spot and race agaisnt each other for the biggest cods?

Well I am sure we will break apart.
But the Idea is go toghter and come toghter, this way we all have a good safe trip and no one is left alone or fish less.:happy:

Race? How much?

No Race with you!! I got the heads up on your boat! ;)

:laughs: :laughs: good idea, MJ;)

Mercs ---Set the water on fire !!!!!

I hold 110 gallons of fuel and can cruise right around 9 gallons an hour, with 2 guys in boat. Have never had 5 people aboard so am not sure what gph would be with ice,fuel,5 people, and fishing gear, them jigs get pretty heavy:D I only fear the devil himself:af: so if I had the range to get to greenland and the condition allowed I would be off there if need be. Link if you prefer Plymouth we could go out together, not sure how far you have been.

Problem is there is no fish in plymonth!!:af:

But do we get to the same places were the others are going?? As Plymouth is much closer to me as far as trailering. And how far is it to meet up with the others?? as I have 65 Gal gas I think like a 150 mile range I will say 125 to be safe!!

Like any trip the weather will tell how far east we go.......

But you don't have to go far to get cod.

team striper1 will be Swede,canalratt1 and Me.

Race there are cod at the race????:laughs: :laughs:

see you all at the flemish cap :eek: :laughs:

We should pick a VHF CH. to work on??

Flemish Cap??? maybe you can try some Vics Formula 44 or anything with a decongestant!:smash: :smash: We can try out near the B bouy to start but anyway I'll be going out befor the trip and I'll have some spots scoped out for us. Ask the guys who went last time. I kept putting people on fish. then I wouldnt' get any LOL:smash: :smash:

Last time macojoe and I hooked up with Swede and Striper1, they had to go out to the Flemish Cap to avoid all the dogfish. Swede was the dogfish king that day!:laughs:

Hi BigBo! I'm gonna break out the Dogfish proof rigs this time :laughs: We are bringing 3 100 gal fuel bladders in case we end up at the Canyons :D
