Fishing Reports

Still have not sailed in days! We will be sailing tomorrow. Give the office a call if you would like to join us.

Have not sailed all week and we are canceled again tomorrow. Maybe sunday we might get out.

Yesterday was another very solid day of cod fishing, though not the ludicrous numbers of last week.
Suffice to say there was still a ton of cod landed, action all day long with many guys at or around a limit catch. Tons of throwbacks in the mix today. Everyone went home with fish for dinner. Nice to see some larger cod showing up now as well.

Cod fishing remains excellent!!! Everyone is going home with lots of fish. Limits catches every trip so far. Yesterday we found some larger cod with some nice fish in the teens. Still catching well on both bait and jigs. Some start to the season!

What a day again yesterday!

The morning bite at first light was on fire for the first few hours. Jigs, bait, it didnt matter. Everyone caught well. The bite slowed around 9am when the current eased. We looked around and found a few shots of cod on some pieces, putting a few dozen more keepers in the boat.

Kept searching and then found the Mother Load to end the trip!! Read a nice pile, got on em, and the first drift alone lasted 25 minutes, non stop bail all around the boat!! Silly fishing!! Made a few more quick drifts before calling it a day and heading home as everyone had all the fish they needed.

Highlight of the day was 7 year old Kyle, who had 12 keepers (orl) and then he helped us drive the boat home. 🙂 Way to go Kyle!!!

What a start to the season its been! Looks like Friday will be the next trip.

Crushed to Cod again today!!!! Easy boat limit by 8:30am!!!! Silly right now.

Here is a report Capt Jp wrote:
Worked deck on the CQ today and a light crowd enjoyed some of the best codfishing you could. Had a slow steady pick in the dark and once the sun rose up fishing was down right savage.

Some drifts were better than others with the last one being about as good as it could be, by the time you locked your reel up you had at least one on already, biting so aggressively that you didn't even have to move your jig.

Had our limit by about 8:30, on our way in at 10:00 after some catch and release. High hooks had around 30 or so keepers and lord knows how many shorts. Kilsong and The Jersey Boys(James, James, and Dave) leading the way

Cod Bite was Hot Today!! Once the sun came up it was on! Fantastic action on the jigs with a FULL BOAT LIMIT by 10:30! Whit Tweety was high hook with 47 keepers (orl) and many other had 20-30 (orl) What a day!

Largest Fluke and Blackfish of the 2010 Season won these beautiful custom rods!!
The Fluke Winner!!! Artie the Veteran … Congrats!!!

Finally got a break in the weather and tried one last time for some tog.
Unfortunately the water temp dropped over 5 degrees this week alone!! With a chilly 44 degree surface temp, the action was very slow. We had about 10 tog, 3 keepers on 3 drops before calling the day early. And so that concluded our 2010 tog season!

We are headed to the shipyard for some annual maintenance and hope to be back to Montauk by the end of December to begin what hopefully will be another great cod season!. Stay tuned for more info!

Excellent tog bite today. Started the day with a great herring bite at the dock! Then 18 anglers had a full boat limit of nice quality tog with several 7-8 lbs class…. And we even caught a keeper cod!

Capt Jp from the osprey led the way with 10 keepers. Jay (jc30967) And Charlie both had 8 plus lb tog.
Very good bite in the deep water right now. Sailing tomorrow 7am!
