Yes we almost made it to Jeffries I think? Wow did we put on the miles today. Check out the Wed/Thurs thread under Boating & Fishing.

Oh, God, my side looks like real trouble!

I nominate JacKK to be thrown off the boat

I'll bring the cookies.....

Yeah, cookies....my ass. Couldn't think of better rail mates!

:bshake:

If anyone is going from the Worcester area we can car pool.

Are there any spots available?

it's all booked up. there aren't any tilefish where we are going anyway :)

I've been to the Canyons a bunch; a few with Huck on the Helen H. Worth every penny. Every trip I've caught yft's with them. Joe is a very good captain with a fantastic network.

Just wondering if anyone is going to try jigging with a spinning rod? Ive wondered how it would be for cod. It does look like it would be fun, not sure how it would be on a party boat with all the neighbors though.

if you guys want to go, talk to buzz -he is checking out a trip on a big centerconsole.
i see guys using spinning setups pretty regular. i was fishing next to christian 1 day last year, we were goofing on his spinner, he proceded to outfish us all day. i would think it would beat up most reels though

It was his jig not the reel !

you coming to gh for a few weeks?

Paul,I'm in for the canyon trip.

Up for a canyon trip also. :)

Yup

I'm a definate for the canyon trip. Please include me on the list.

You more than likely will be fishing in betqween 260- 320' of water... the tide runs hard out there.. going to be mighty tough to hold bottom with a tiny jig...

I wouldnt be trying it, but would like to see someone else give it a whirl. It would make for a tough dangle angle with a light jig.

A friend of mine does well jigging for cod in the GoM with an OTI rod and a VS... Uses heavy butterfly speed jigs. Says he has no issues holding bottom, but he's fishing from his own boat and doesn't have to worry about 39 other anglers

38 after your quick over rail departure

You mean 38 on our rig with you worshipping the porcelain god the entire time

I cant wait for it. I sharped all my cod jigs and got the teasers all set. My old AS bag is now my cod fishing bag, thing weighs a ton.

if a slot opens for some reason, please let me know.. i have a +1more that wants in.

pools
 

a little over 3 weeks away boys. here is the plan for the pools - pool #1 will be a $10 entry, the biggest cod will win 50%, the biggest non-cod will win the other 50%. so with 40 guys each winner should get around 200 bucks. pool #2 will be the "high roller pool", $20 entry and the biggest fish takes it. pools are optional but i can think of many occasions the guy w/ the big fish didn't enter the pool. let's go kill some fish :)

IMO biggest non-cod in #1 should get 25%, but that's just me... Although it would be funny to see a $200 ocean pout if we don't get into haddock/pollock.

Do porbeagles count for #2? :jump1:

Do Dogfish count as Non-Cod?

porbeagles should be non-cod but could also be biggest fish

And the way I read it, could one fish potentially take both pools?

That's it- I'm bringing the 80w and black magic :uhuh: we goin sharkin'

lets spread the wealth and not be greedy. if you win one pool you are out of the rest. i would rather have 3 guys w/ smiles on their faces than 1 guy w/ fat wallet that everone hates. in the non-cod catagory and the high roller all legal keeper fish can win. so yes a legal porbeagle is elligable - a wolffish is not

Things ae at least headed in the right direction...........

let's hope things impove over the next 2 weeks. seems to be a slow haddock bite this year in general
