A 35 pound Monkfish on a Cod jig
Oct 30 2009
Cod,Haddock and Pollock were hitting the decks of the Lisa&Jake and the Kayman Too last week as fast as anglers could go!
Large Cod to 30plus pounds were hammering jigs and tubes as they were bounced in the large schools of herring that were the fish were gorging on.
A short ride away large Haddock to 10 pounds were jumping on jigs! These fish are very aggressive and with there soft mouths many were lost in the battle but enough came in to fill the boxes!
The Pollock are starting to be in full swing as some bays Double 20 pounders were being brought to gaff every drop!
Fall fishing can be as good as it gets! Be prepared to bounce around a little as there are more bumpy days this time of year.

On the ride in the fish are filleted. Many birds follow the boat to eat the scraps. The Gannets are among these birds who will circle high above and dive bomb like a rocket under the water to get bait fish or scraps.
One Gannet could not resist the bucket of fillets on the deck and dove right into them! He was a little shaken up and could not find his way out of the boat. The mate beard carefully avoiding his sharp beak lifted him to safety!
