I was out floating around with you getting in the way of the Relentless. I caught a couple and hung 1 that I had on for 5 minutes but couldn't move it more than 10' off the bottom. It might have been snagged (but I have been using single hooks to limit snagging). It gets a little intimidating when you are on an 18' center console and all these 30+ foot charters move up next to you. Beautiful weather, and close enough to other boats for conversations some of the time. I met one of my neighbors form in town out there as well as some nice folks from the North Shore and CT. Not often that you fish out of a boat within normal conversation range of other boats. To say the least a unique experience. Fish were nice size as well.
Cod Hunter,
I happen to be friends with Ken P. He asked me if I wanted to join you guys, but I turned down the invite to winterize my boat. Needless to say, I'm kicking myself knowing what type of day you guys had.
Nice work out there. You couldn't ask for better weather in late November.
nice job.
tomorrow is the last day for that area before the shut down.
thats the only way to fish them is super tight like that. "bumper boats".
15 feet out of the circle and you might as whell be on the beach. there stacked up on top of each other to spawn.
It's not looking good for the future of cod fishing!
Not only are they closing that area 42.20 - 42.30 because it's a known spawning area for cod,
Dec. 1 the daily limit goes from 10 fish to 5 fish a day,
and I have been told that it may go to less than 5 per day (3 per day ? )
and stay there year round!
Sorry to high jack the tread,
Glad you guys had a good trip with Dave.
