If any point you can write them down for me I'd appreciate it greatly.
If you prefer not, either for fishing or other reasons, I understand.
That aside, I am curious as to your thoughts why codfishing was so slow last friday. There seemed to be plenty of bait and seabass, as well as plenty of boats which I take as a sign fishing had been decent (although I suppose it might just be RI guys targeting seabass instead........but that seems like a long way to run for that).
Are the cod on the move off the ledge into closer/shallower waters (i.e., brown's, swledge, east grounds, sw shoal) as the water cools? I remember catching them by the dozen while trolling for bass at cuttyhunk years ago and used to jig for them later in October on SW shoal.
Does competition now with seabass drive them off into deeper water?
Are the cod there and it is just that the seabass get to the jigs/bait first?
Or is it just cod being cod and simply not biting on the day in question.
Fishing for seabass the last several years has reawakened my zest for vertical jigging. Although I have the wrong boat for it I had hoped to pick away at codfish this fall when weather permits.
