Had Joe Schiavone charter the boat today w/ some buddies. Ran out east to look for the speedsters and bluefish and pushed out east, only to find puke green water as far as the eye could see. Plan B was to set up on some wrecks back to the West to target cod/ling and we did just that.

Making 4 drops on 4 wrecks in 120-220' we had a slowish pick on mixed size ling, some seabass, a load of short cod, and some nicer cod up to 24". There was a deep bottom current which made things difficult for the guys but they still picked away at some nice fish.

We finished up the day back inshore looking for some seabass, and found loads of 10-12"ers in the 30-50' depths up north with just a handful of keepers coming up.

At day's end the guys boxed a bunch of nice ling to 3# (didn't count but we had quite a few), the cod to 24", and a few nice seabass with the biggest being 15". Tough day, but we caught some fish and the guys got a few nice meals outta the trip! Back to the fluke tomorrow!
