Local Cod-Viking Starship Capt Carl reports just an OK day on the cod grounds. We sailed with a light load of anglers and the weather was as nice as it gets! Flat seas, no wind, sunshine and warm temps! We had a good morning bite of market cod while drifting around, and the Marvelous Mavros again caught a nice 15 lb cod mixed with the smaller ones. For a couple hours we picked away at keeper cod, as well as short cods. Eventually, the bite turned off, and we tried some other zones but nothing materialized for us, making the second half of the trip a slow one. John Cavallo from New Hyde Park, NY took the pool with an 8 lb cod. We will not be sailing tomorrow, but check back for schedule updates.

Viking Star – Private Charter Capt Carl reports a pretty good day on the Viking Star with Mike and the “Jersey Boys” annual charter. Seas were flat calm and the wind was light, so we drifted all day and some drifts were good and some were not. We saw quite a few short cod, but plenty of keepers mixed in to make some nice bags of fillets. We saw a bunch of double headers also! Most fish were small market size, but we did have some gaffers as well, with the biggest cod around 12 lbs. All in all we put a fine catch together for a winter day.  There was also tons and tons of bait around.
