The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I'm inclined to agree with the harbor pollack ID. I fished big ones off Glouster last year with Trev Gowdy. They live line them in 140 feet of water and take bass over 40 pounds. The only problem is that regulations on Pollack call for them to be over 19" long!

Mike - as long as you were in State, not Federal, water you are OK. Federal size limit is 19" with no possession limit. State water, no size or possession limit . . . feel better?

T,
Maybe Northern Kingfish or tomcod although tomcod are more readily seen in late fall. Northern Kingfish should be around although they are more plentiful around Long Island/Jersey.

we get harbor pollack arround the rocks and ledges here from 3" to 15" inshore and 30pounds offshore. sabiki them up! the're hardy bait.bass love 'em.
easy to tell 'cause they have skin instead of scales.

and they seem to school up size wise. if your getting all 4" fish they tend to all be the same size in that spot.

That first one in your picture looks very similar to the ones I saw. I thought they were more of a deep water fish. Maybe the young ones stay shallow. It was a very interesting site no matter what they were!

That's why they're called harbor pollock

We used to catch them all summer long at the Sandwich end of the Canal when I was a kid. Inside the boat basin, too.
