1-5-12 Made it out to the deeper water today and was pleased with what waited for us on the bottom.Every drop we made yielded some good shots of ling and some large blackfish.Mixed in with that we had some Codfish,both keepers and throwbacks and surpisingly sea bass which we had to throwback.Some dogfish activity at times but not bad.The biggest problem was to either put on a crab and go for Togs,or a clam and shoot for some of the nice ling coming over the rail.I actually caught a couple of ling myself on the crab,Im sure others did as well.As you can see the blackfish were chewing today and some of them were LARGE!!!!Few over 10lbs,some 8lbrs.etc.....We even had a couple of fish on that were in the moose catergory.I watched one fish get halfway up after a good battle to get off the bottom just to take a strong run and pull the hook.(keep in mind to back off the drag alot of times when you get him off the bottom just in case he is barely hooked.Especially with spider wire and in deeper water)Another couple of big fish we just did not even get off the bottom and shaved us off,these fish made the ones we netted seem small and those were 8-10 lb.rs.I look forward to getting back out there tomorrow.Check out some pics.See ya tomorrow.Remember we are now carrying both green crabs and clams for bait,but the white leggers worked best for the Togs and clams for ling.I also have been having good luck lately with gulp for the ling,especially the little shrimp or lobster looking ones.I think they are called Ghost Shrimp or something.Both chartruese and that hot pink.
How do ya like me now!!!!

1-4-11 No fishing past two days.Most people stayed home to keep warm.Good news is the wind is letting up and the winds look good for tomorrow(thursday).Gonna warm up to.WE will be heading out to the deeper water looking for the bigger blackfish,also we will have some clams on the boat to get into the good ling fishing that has been going on.Expect to see some Codfish mixed in with the catch also.Its that time of the year to start fishing deep again!!For you blackfisherman,this is when the biggest fish of the year start coming up so we will still carry crabs as long as we can get them.And those that want the ling and cod,well its time!!!See ya in the morning.
1-2-12 Windy,yes.Ocean calm though,yes.Fishing was not so good for us though.If you could count the shorts and the dogfish I would say the fishing was good.But keepers were not chewing that well.High hook had three keepers,few two keeps,ones and nones for a decent size crowd for a Monday.Gonna be cold tomorrow so dress warm.Or I would suggest waiting a few days,its gonna warm up and the wind is gonna let up by Thursday or so.Gonna be getting out to the deeper grounds also as soon as the wind dies down a bit.Little Steven won the pool today with a nice 6lb.Tog.
