A friend of mine does well jigging for cod in the GoM with an OTI rod and a VS... Uses heavy butterfly speed jigs. Says he has no issues holding bottom, but he's fishing from his own boat and doesn't have to worry about 39 other anglers

I cant wait for it. I sharped all my cod jigs and got the teasers all set. My old AS bag is now my cod fishing bag, thing weighs a ton.

Everything is better on the rocks.

pools

a little over 3 weeks away boys. here is the plan for the pools - pool #1 will be a $10 entry, the biggest cod will win 50%, the biggest non-cod will win the other 50%. so with 40 guys each winner should get around 200 bucks. pool #2 will be the "high roller pool", $20 entry and the biggest fish takes it. pools are optional but i can think of many occasions the guy w/ the big fish didn't enter the pool. let's go kill some fish

IMO biggest non-cod in #1 should get 25%, but that's just me... Although it would be funny to see a $200 ocean pout if we don't get into haddock/pollock.

Do porbeagles count for #2?

Do Dogfish count as Non-Cod?

porbeagles should be non-cod but could also be biggest fish

lets spread the wealth and not be greedy. if you win one pool you are out of the rest. i would rather have 3 guys w/ smiles on their faces than 1 guy w/ fat wallet that everone hates. in the non-cod catagory and the high roller all legal keeper fish can win. so yes a legal porbeagle is elligable - a wolffish is not

Was that enough "practice" for you? Can't wear you out before the big time!

Got to admit it did get a little slow paced towards mid-day, did I see you with your eyes closed?

Time to think shared rides for 5/15

May start a new thread if this doesn't
get any attention. I live in DEDHAM
and will leave at 3:30AM for Salisbury,
one hour trip. By myself, can take 2
more plus gear. PM if you live near by
and we can decide on meeting place.
Am thinking of parking lots for St. Susanna
or St. Sebastian,
