Helen H moves to Montauk

[RIROCKHOUND]

Always nice to see. We have some stock recovery and they get pounced on.

I was running a r/v out there last February and skirted the fleet w/ my radar on. Counted 17 targets within <1mi2. that school took a whooping that day....

Boats definitely fishing from Montauk for cod this winter:

1)Celtic Quest IV

2)Miss Montauk and Fishn Express

3)Viking Fleet

Viking starship
Viking star
Viking gulfstar
viking superstar

4)sea spray

5)Helen H/capt.Lou

That's 8 boats just from Montauk, add in the Frances Fleet with two boats, the Island current and sea otter fishing out of Snug Harbor. The Hell Cat from Groton will be there as well as several other CT based boats. Throw in a few boats from further east or west and a few private and charter boats and you get well north of 17 boats on a good weather day.

last year it was like steaming out to a city there were so many lights on the horizon

Well, if the Helen-H 9 is hitting Block, are there any good skippers out of PJ hitting codfish as well?

The Frances fleet is sending one or two boats out per day and the Island Current is sailing out of Snug harbor.
