Cod fishing ain't bad
 

Took a party of four out to Cox's ledge on Saturday. The good news is that the doggies aren't bad. Lots of short cod, but the four of them managed to put about two dozen cod in the box. Biggest fish was about ten pounds.

If your hardy enough, you can catch cod to several pounds in Boston Harbor from the shore. Only thing is, the season where they come inshore in reach of shore anglers with any consistency is also when the average daily high is around 31 degrees, but you should be more concerned about the average daily low because you have better luck during low light conditions. Fishing the surf in a late January snowstorm with a 17 mph east wind - thats how you seperate the men from the mice, the villains from the heroes, the men from boys...

No thanks I prefer codfishing in a t-shirt :)

im going to go out to hunt some pollock tommorow. have done pretty well this time of year in this spot. only like 5 miles from the last island in the harbor. also an area loaded with huge bluefish right now for backup if they are not there.
