Roger reported a very strong day of local cod fishing. Two areas were sampled with excellent results at both. A lot of good size cod on the first drop with at least 20 nice fish in the 10 to 20 lb range and some other nice keepers along with some huge sea flounders to 4 lbs plus, big ocean perch, a few pollock and a mess of good size scup. Area two produced a nice steady stream of market cod with a handful of slightly bigger fish around the ten pound mark. Area two also produced some slammer scup to nearly 3 lbs, super size ocean perch to 21 inches!!, a few more big sea flounder, a keeper fluke, and a lot of throwback cod. There were numerous fishers who had four to seven nice cod apiece to take home and the majority of fishers took home enough for dinner but the numbers did vary from fisher to fisher. While bait was king at the first spot with the bigger fish, the second area both jigs and bait were productive but jigs probably edged out the clams and produced the bigger greener cod in the ten pound range. A special jig shout out to Troy and Orlando who put on a iron clinic at the second area fished! Well done fellas! Pool fish was a fine green fish around 20 lbs. It was flat calm with little to no wind all day, the sun came out after a morning sprinkle and it was breathtakingly beautiful. Looks like some weather on the way this week. Wednesday is still a maybe right now so check back Tuesday afternoon but we could very well be sidelined for a few days if the weatherman is correct and Mother Nature sees fit.
