4/11: Plenty of Cod…

By willy

A rather frustrated Capt. Josh reports a day spent driving the Yankee Clipper away from hungry market cod in search of haddock, and a fair day overall in terms of the targeted species. The cod were everywhere, and they bit–some jig anglers had a few dozen would-be keepers up to 12-14 pounds–but the haddock bite was nothing to write home about. One stop produced a few dozen haddock in flurries of four or five at a time, but the rest of the day was spent picking through wads of cod with the occasional haddock hitting the deck. Weather was gorgeous, and the rods stayed bent all day all around the boat, even if they did so under the burden of the “wrong” species. I think it’s safe to say that the gang is ready for cod season to open…

No trip tomorrow, but the Yankee Clipper is planning to run seven days a week, weather/interest permitting. Give the office a call for more info and to make a reservation.
