Gloucester Cod Trip.

My son Leif and I took a trip to Gloucester MA. and fished the Tuna.com with a few njfishing.com members. Howie Allen of Point Pleasant put the trip together for us and we left the dock at 5:00am on Sunday. We all had our limit of cod by 9:30am and then tried for Haddock. Leif Francis also caught 3 nice haddock to 5lbs and Howie Allen had 7. The largest cod was caught by yours truly and was estimated at 20-25lbs. The fish averaged 7-10lbs. We also caught 21 Pollock to 20lbs. Leif Francis 13 had his first 2 Pollock ever as well as a double header Cod Pollock keeper combo. All fish were caught on 12-20oz jigs except the haddock and they were caught on clams. Only 2 dogfish were caught. A good time was had by all. Pictured from left to right are Eric, Howie, Leif F., Leif Eric, and Billy.
