Plum Island used to be real good in the fall and if you could stand it for most of the winter... plenty fo frosty nights i made several trips back and forth to the truck to lug my catch home..

In 1978 I caught a 38lb cod from the beach directly in front of surfland.. but most were in the 2-3lb range...I havent seen a codfish off that beach since the mid '80's.. there are pollock around now.. most are under 2lbs.. we used to catch them all winter into the spring from the jetty.. not little harbor pollock either... these fish were as large as 15lbs... they entered the river on the sand eels smashing and crashing just like bass...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
