I love hearing the stories from the old guard at Q. Spent MANY nights out there when I was younger in absolute awe of the stories of the old days. Not too many of them still on the rocks with me any more though. Stories of picking frost fish off the beach to use as cod bait, getting stuck on the beach in a freak snow storm as they cod fish, etc... Those kinds of stories burn in my mind each winter as I sit around not fishing and thinking about what might happen if I gave it a try. I did half a tide about 7 or 8 years ago one February night at Q. Drifted plugs, tossed jigs and cursed out the cold. Not even so much as a hit, but I had no idea what I was doing and had no expectations of success. The increased cod landings off Block the last few winters has made think there is a chance nowadays, though. Maybe this year I'll try again.
