AMERICAN CLASSIC Cod Trip 4/1/09
We had a great trip. Every one on the boat limited out on cod. We had the tipical mix of fish but mostly cod. Nothing really big, My guess would be fish in the range of 4 to 8 lbs with a few in the 10 to 14 pound range. The weather was fare to good with winds in the 5 to 10 knots out of the SE and 2 to 4 foot seas. A small ground swell made the jiging work good. the American Classic is a 95 footer so it handled the weather great and was quite comfortable. Only a few fish were caught on bait - jigs were the hot item. I had a great talk with Capt Jim Walsh. Super guy. Check out his web site (AmericanClassic.com). The crew on the boat were great. We are going to do another trip with him later.
