  1. From a charter on a smaller 40 foot boat same area
  2. It's better because the zones have with in them the prime sea humps and structure that the big spawning cod prefer. These structures also atrract bait fish. Our main problem is not so much the commercial fisherman that target the cod but the ones that target the schools of Herring that most of the sea life from Whales to Cod depend on. They come in with huge mid water trawlers and take the Herring which is the prime food for the Cod.
  3. In the spawning areas they have scattered square mile areas where no commercial fishing is allowed and is patroled by the USA coast guard. This allows some santcuary for spawning fish from commercial harvest.
  4. The Angler Fish (we call them mother in law fish because of the big mouth or Monk Fish) was about 40 pounds.
  5. We were no where near the Grand Banks. We where fishing the non commercial zone of the Stellwagen Banks in the Gulf of Maine .
  6. The American Classic 26 knot 100 foot Aluminum boat
  7. A bunch of noreast members charted the American Classic for a go at some Gulf Of Maine Cod. I caught over 30 cod. I only kept 10 which is the limit per man-two at 31 pounds (which I caught at one time one on a Lava Pirk and the other on a matt fly above the Lava Pirk,one 30 pounds,one 26 pounds and 6 others from 10 to 12 pounds. My double 31
  8. Winter, you be right about the water temps. This year during our winter the water was colder then normal and shut down the fishing till may. The colder water forced a lot of Cod south below 41N. In Canada in the Bay Of Fundy hundreds of dead Cod washed ashore. They were killed by the cold temps of the water during the winter.
  9. Most of the fishing is between 41N and 43N. We also get Blue fin tuna to 1000 pounds in the same areas.
  10. We fish mostly under water rock ledges and Sea Mounts that were formed during the Ice Age. Below is a under water view of one of the best fishing areas a Sea mount called Cashes Ledge You can fish from 40 to well over 1000 feet deep.
