Our Cod charter from Point pleasant NJ today had a great day on the water. NJfishing.com member the1jonC provided the following report:
I jumped on the Russian Roulette for an open boat Cod trip. 2 guys no-showed but Capt and Mate still went out with 4.
I got to fish with Whitechin Kirk, who I know from NJ, not this board.
Capt ran out about 2 hours. First drop was a slow pick of keeper and throwback cod. I jigged up a nice market sized keeper cod that lost a nice jig to the wreck . Then I got a Dogfish and it was time to go.
We took another ride and settled on a nice wreck. I threw down another jig and got 2 Pollack back-to-back. One one the jog and one on the teaser. One of the other guys was also jigging. Capt calso came down and jigged. He boated a nice 15lb cod full of herring.
I switched to bait when the jig stopped producing and got another 2.
Wind started kicking up so we tried a n inshore wreck, but got no bites.
Only saw 2 doggies and a Poout the whole trip. We were aout 50/50 keepers to shorts.
Boat wound up with 21 Cod and 2 Pollack. Were greeted with steady snow at the dock. Great day on a great boat.
