Norma K III 3-9 Magic Cod and Ling 2/20

 I fished on the Norma K III today on the 3-9 magic hours trip. It was good to get out in between this very windy weather.

I fished with Ben and his dad Tony. Leif is still on his hiatus.

There were also a few NJFISHING.COM MEMBERS including Eric, his son Chris and member Paul. We were also greeted by sponsor Steve Irwin.

We had a good afternoon and evening out. Ben was the ling snatcher tonight and wound up with seven nice sized ling. He was using a 2 hook rig with a lunker light. He also had a keeper Blackfish to top off his fine catch. His dad had some short cod and a ling. I wound up taking home 6 ling and two cod. I also caught one cod on a butterfly jig.

Nice to see Capt. Matt, Morgan and the crew. It was a pleasure speaking to everyone and fishing on the Norma K III again.

Gambler Cod Valentine's Eve Report 2/13/11

I headed out on the Gambler today for some Cod fishing. I fished with NJFISHING.COM members Ken Maher, Eric and Ryan Wood .
Cook Tom was firing up the grill first thing and those tasty "Fishermans breakfasts were being served.(I'm not bringing anymore food next time.) Tom has the food covered and it is good. Hot coffee and a hearty breakfast and lunch served up....can't beat it.
Keith was off today and Mike Bogan was getting the clams ready around 4:30am.

It was a little two hour ride out to the first spot and we were greeted by a pod of white sided dolphins. The first spot was slow so we moved on and the fishing got better. We picked at cod all day. Although there were a lot of short cod some keepers were caught as well.
I had 5 cod, two being keepers and Tin Squid had 2 keepers as well with several shorts. We caught a few of those fish on jigs as well. Most of the keepers were just keeper size to 6 lbs or so.
I saw several other anglers with 1, 2 or three cod and some ling.
