I went with the Frances Fleet on Monday--sucked even worse than Sunday. Still nice to get out on the water though....
I'm on vacation right now and could go out again either this week or next. I called around and most of the boats do not seem to be running until April 1.
Are there any charters that would take a group of us out if we organized it in the next couple weeks? |

The cod season north of Cape Cod is closed until April 1st, so If you want to go codfishing the Francis Fleet or the Helen H are your only choices.

It is not closed...it is just that you are restricted to 75lbs per boat, 2 fish per angler above the 42nd parallel until 4/1...makes it not worth going. |

if they let you use braid you'd get away with 1/2 the weight and catch twice the fish
before they "banned" it on headboats i used it a few times. i figure i have intermediate headboat skills and i destroyed the regulars out catching them 2 or 3 to 1.
much more feel at 300 or 400 ft of water. especiallt when fishing bait for haddock. |

i've never been on a party boat that gave me a hard time about braid. just put on a 20' topshot of mono for the inevitable tangles and you are good to go

I am taking Travis' site on the HelenH.
Given that it is a charter, we's going to be using da braid.

Definitely go with braid...I tied in a 30' top shot of 80lb mono with a slim-beauty so you can grab the heavy mono in lieu of the braid when grabbing the line and dragging the fish in over the side...it will save your hands and hopefully any tangles... |

Yea, bring a shark (wire) leader in case they let you target one, not likely, but they will got after your cod for sure...they lucked out and pretty much "teased" them to their fate... |

The Jones Brothers is my old mans rig...I help myself to it every weekend as all his charters are on the weekdays 
...and it is customary to show up at Steve's without any beers and drink all of his. 
Yea, so where is this note??? |
