Sunday Report

By willy

Sunday’s trip aboard the Yankee Clipper began with a solid 1.5-hour drift which saw good action on market-sized cod and pollock, mainly on jigs. There wasn’t much wind but eventually the tide made anchoring up imperative, at which time the action tapered a bit and settled into a grinding pick for the remainder of the day. Jiggers continued to catch cod in the 6-12-pound range as well as pollock and a couple of cusk, while bait anglers caught cod and some haddock. Dogs were around but anglers who kept their bait close to the bottom were able to pull some desirable groundfish from the mix. Overall, it was a good day on the ocean, with about a 60/30/10 split of pollock, cod, and haddock, respectively. High hooks had around fifteen legal, and the pool winner was an 18-pound pollock.
