Local Cod Capt Carl reports a tough day on the cod grounds. It was very cold out and fishing was very picky. We read them pretty good but they seemed to have lockjaw. There were also dogs around. Me managed a slow pick by days end, but it certainly wasn’t enough. Kevin McCann from Staten Island won the pool with an 8 pound Cod. The picture below is a photo of the big school of cod that would not bite.

Local Cod Capt Carl reports a tough grind on the cod grounds today. The area we have been doing well in was covered up with gill net gear, so we looked around in different areas. We would have a couple good drifts here and there, and some very slow drifts as well. Every time it looked like we had some fish to work on, it would shut down and we would move on. The last stop of the day saw one pretty good drift with some double headers and nicer size cod, but then two seals came along and scattered the pile. There was a few ling in the mix with the cod today, but all in all it was a tough grind. Jasson Hicks from Huntington, NY took the pool with a 11 pounder, and Nicholas Dorazio from Freehold,…

Capt Carl reports a much tougher day on the cod grounds today. We did manage to put a catch together, but both the quality and quantity was not what we have been seeing. We did average 2 cod per person with a healthy crowd onboard, with some guys catching 6-7 keepers, but all in all it was definitely tougher today than it has been. Of course we stayed out late and got a few more cod out if it and ling. Long time Viking regular Mike Bunch from Flanders, NY took first in the pool with a 16 pounder, and Kun Kim from Flushing, NY took second with a 12 pounder.

Local Cod Captain Carl reports another good solid day of winter cod fishing! We had a big crowd of anglers out today and everyone caught cod and had a good time! There was no bite in the dark, but as soon as the sun rose a bit the cod started chewing! Every drift saw cod coming over the rail with some better than others. Fresh bait worked best today, with just a few taken on jigs. Plenty of quality gaffers today too! With the big crowd onboard, a whopping amount of cod spread around the boat! Kristoffer Barch from Seaford, NY took the pool with a 27.1 pound slob cod! Corey Pallasino of Merrick, NY took second with a 25.9 pounder! Notable mentions go to 18 yr old Owen Carr who had 6 big cod, and Walter Lesliaswski, who took…

Local Cod Captain Steven Jr reports an excellent day on the cod grounds today! We had lots of quality cod today, with 25 fish over 15lbs and a few fish over the 20lb mark. Things started off slow in the dark with only a couple cod coming up before the sun. By mid morning we had good steady fishing with a few good shots of 20-30 fish per drift coming up. Later in the day, the fish seemed to scatter and we had a pick of a couple cod per drift. By the end of the day we put a good catch of quality cod together for everyone on board. The average angler ended up with 3-5 cod and high hook guys had 6-8 cod. Michael Fronda of Brooklyn took first place with a nice 27lb cod and in second…
