Stellwagen w/ Niko
Left Green Harbor yesterday at 6:00 under overcast skies and 1 foot or less chop and headed to the top of the Bank for some cod. The Steigercraft ran flawlessly and as we arrived at the numbers the machine showed tons of bait and the surface had plenty of whale activity all around. Frist drift yielded 8 or so keepers with every drop producing cod. 7:1 ratio shorts to keepers. Repeated the second drift with similar results and finished off the cod limit on the third drift. 20 keepers all done by 10:30. The fish hit a 50/50 mix teaser/jig combination with no one jig/ teaser out producing the other. Got Strypers small size plastic was used as a teaser and caught very well. Paul and I left and headed to a few other areas to find some haddock and do some prospecting. One haddock caught. The SWC is teaming with bait (herring). Snagging them often but no one under them eating them. Fish were up top in the shallows and were packed with sand eels. Ended up cruising home with favorable conditions and plenty of meat for the cooler.
Paul great time yesterday. You can certainly groundfish. We got to do it again.
