Good Codfishing on New Jersey Wrecks

Codfishing continues to improve on the local and offshore wrecks. More and more cod are being caught by local Party Boats out of New Jersey when the weather cooperates.
The Voyager out of Point Pleasant reported a good catch of 85 cod up to 38lbs on their Sunday Cod trip.
The Big Janaica of Point Pleasant also reported a nice catch of cod on their 2/21 offshore cod trip and other party boats like the Paramount, Brielle have been picking away at school cod on their local bottom and wreck trips.
The colder water and abundance of cod up northeast may be contributing to the showing of cod in New Jersery. Hopefully March will prove to be a productive month as well and more cod will take up residence on our wrecks this spring. Check out the links below for detailed reports and schedule...

Codfishing Mixed reports

Codfishing reports from the Block Island area were mixed over the last few days. Some boats got them, some didn't. You just had to be on a pile of fish that was feeding and if you weren't it was tough fishing.

There was a strong current on Saturday making it difficult to drift.

Wreckfishing for Cod(20-40 mile wrecks) locally off Point Pleasant, NJ was good on Saturday with the Gambler, Point Plesant, NJ reporting a good catch of Cod. Most anglers had a few keeper cod and some had 5-7 fish with fish up to 20 pounds or so.

Montauk Codfishing Update 1/29/10 BE PREPARED!

Codfishing slowed up off Block Island the past few days. The full moon tends to effect the bite and It appears the moon is having an effect on the fishing now. Fishing should improve after this on the down side next week. Make your reservations now so you don't miss out.

Over the past month good catches have been made but reports have been inconsistent as well. Sometimes bait is better and other times jigs work best depending on what the cod are feeding on. Be prepared for both and change your strategy as conditions warrant. Listen to the captain and watch the mates and anglers who are catching. Be prepared to adapt and you will succeed.

Good luck, Leif

Don't waste the Cod!!!

Codfishing remains very good out of Montauk and R.I. The cod are building up off Block Island and limit catches have been reported.****Please don't waste the codfish*****Some of the fish over the past few years have had "worms" in the flesh. These are common and are harmless to humans when cooked properly or frozen. They can also be easily removed by shining a light through the fillet and removing them with a sharp pointy knife. If this still bothers you, e-mail me and I will take them. Here is a link regarding the cod worm.
