Cod Trip??
 

Whaddya say? Any interest in an organized Cod Trip this fall?

Last year, we got "weathered out" with waves taller than Slip holding a ditch rod straight up...

Should we give it another shot this year?

Suggestions for where and what boat? Other than the Andy Lynn :smash:

How about it Capesams - got room for 20 on your boat :p

i would be interested as long as i can work it into my work/rodbuilding/plugbuilding schedule. :rollem:

im game!!!
 

would like to meet some of ya!!! let me know when!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:

If we get enough interested we'll put one together... I already have one other person lined up for a cod trip

would we be looking to do a small private charter, or a big party boat?

i will go, i'm sure kippy would go too:D

Probably party boats 20-30 people or so...

I'll bring the chum slick:yak:

I'd be interested.

john, would this be after the holidays like last year? i'm in. think we could try and do it on a sunday??

sundays are best for me.

Swede and I went last weekend :D
This was an inshore trip on the walsh boat out of Lynn.
best cod on the boat was 36 pounds !!
I got two around 15 pounds:D

The walsh boat is running till the end of the month.

I hope to get back out there soon.
my arms
:crying:

"weathered out":laughs: :af: :laughs:

I'm in.

YES, LET'S DO IT

Cool... Not sure yet if before or after the holidays so we'll see how that pans out.

Last year we tried to keep the trip around Plymouth because it was central to the guys in Mass and those from Rhody and Foxwoods. Any suggestions on a boat? Other than the Andy Lynn?

Thanks

john, what happened on the andy lynn that turned you off? ya can pm me if you don't want to talk here.

It's not so much my experience that put me off but the experiences of numerous people that I know. Some guys from work, others friends I fish with, and some relatives have all been underwhelmed by their experiences on the Andy Lynn... We actually tried to use them last year too but the weather was too bad...

I'm in!

Hmmm..

I could be easily convinced to go. OUCH !! OK, OK I'll go.

I have gone out from Plymouth before and I agree to
avoid the AL. (I have also heard stories)

We went on a smaller boat which held about 20-25 people.
I am trying my best to remember her name....Capt. Brady I think.
It is right there next to the others. Boat name is Anne Marie (MAYBE).

Anyway,
The captain is great, but fishing success depends on where he would take us.

Depends on who captains the boat. They seem to take you on a long boat ride when you can stay inshore and get more fishing time. I have heard good things about Walshes but have never been on their boat. The Yankee Fleet is good also but you will be fishing with alot of anglers as they crowd it. I like the Andy Lynn's drift fishing trip because you fish one side of the boat and DO NOT anchor. I have had good luck but its a long ride out with not alot of fishing time in a fairly small boat but we could charter the whole boat ourselves. Many of the boats will stop running soon and the weekend after Thanksgiving seems to be when many shut down. AL runs all winter.

should have been there!!!
 

i rented capt johns big party boat for my bachelor bachelorett party needed 40 pepole at 30.00 ahead to pay 1200.00 for boat got all my tickets sold but only18 pepole showed for it had that whole boat to our selves lot of cod that day and extra big wolf fish it was a fun time for all who showed never been on party boat where i wasnt crowded till that day!!!most of my boating was on capt johns and thats what swayed me too get my own now i go out with 2 maybe 3 so as nobodys crowded and love it!!!:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Sounds like a good idea and the inshore catch has been good from the reports I've heard.

Wlash boat....
I know it's a hike for some folks but..
last time out we where fishing 1/2 hour from the dock.
The bad thing is they only run till the end of the month.
I have to get out there one more time.

:btu:

I'd be up for it, but could we do it after hunting season?

Capt John Boats were catching haddock as well as cod on Stellwagon Bank. Thats about a 45 to 55 minute ride for them out of Plymouth Harbor. They provide bait and will rent tackle.

can i come? i like the sound of walsh's in reports lately. i also had a bad experience on andy lynn, skunked. my favorite is captains lady, plum island, but thats a summer thing.

..didn't the boat we took out last year ..... get STUCK!!!

...either before or after we were on it. Something about the engine die-ing while in those swells...:smash:



hey Slip.....hey Slip.......you cooking breakfast?? :happy:

Bloo I was on it the next day. It took about three hours to leave the dock, it was overheating. After the problem was fixed we went out. I had 6 keepers (3 cod, 3 haddock) but many got the skunk and weren't happy. Myself I don't like the Capt. John boats would rather head north.

make a date!!
 

i'm in! where? when? just need the details so i can make plans. can't drive so i have to figure out how i can get there::smash:

Let's figure out when (before or after Xmas) and what boat. Anyone know what boats we can rent? If we get an entire boat, we're in good shape...

John,

I was a mate for a few seasons a long time ago and have been a pretty serious Head Boat regular for over 15 years. As you know I have chartered a few boats in my years and though I would reccommend any of the following boats, I will list them in my order of preference.

1...Helen H out of Hyannis...More money, Big Fish, High Tech, Cutting Edge,

2...Yankee Fleet out of Gloucester...Overall, the best over many years

3...Captain Johns out of Plymouth...1st class for inshore/Stellwagon Bank Trips trips, easy to deal with

4...Francis Fleet in Galillee...Rates righ there with Yankee Fleet, only 4th because of the log drive from my house

There are many other top notch boats around, these are just my favorite that run in winter

I'm in whenever as long as I do not have a more importan commitment whn you set the date.

JOHN, WOW:smash: COD ON A FLY im in e-mail me when your ready to to. Ill put the time aside an be ready.:happy: :happy:
"GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN.
P.S. MMMMMMMMMMMM cod flies!!!!!!I better start tyin now.:happy:

I'm in and so is BC if he doesn't have to work. Going home the day after Thanksgiving to take my fishing frustrations out on Bambi. Will be gone for a couple of weeks, so hope its before or after that.!!!

I'm in - provided it fits in between my erratic work schedule as well. :rtfm:

Is there an idea of a time yet?

I am also gone the week of thanksgiving,,,,,Tampa Florida kingfishing,,,, I hope !!!!

Are you thinking after the holidays ????

Hellen H.......
