Though there have been no local reports, The Fishing Line did have an interesting one from the Capt. Al out of Point Lookout, Long Island. That party boat reported 30 anglers last Thursday caught 300 cod, though only 60 of them were keepers. On Saturday there were 30 keepers up to 8 pounds out of 200 cod. They caught a few Sunday morning before a building swell killed the bite that afternoon. Though I don't know where Capt. Al was fishing, those were just day trips from a port not very far from the Shore -- and that volume of small cod is very encouraging at a time of year when skippers are usually just hoping for a few big ones.
