Finally got on the Helen-H after being blown 6 times. Ride out of the harbor took a little while as there is broken ice still there. After passing through the harbor it was clear and fast sailing. Fishing at the start of the day was good and steady, action on both jigs and bait. As the day progressed the action shifted to bait fishing and towards the end bait was pretty much the only way to go to catch any fish. Around 3/4 ways through the trip they ran out of BAIT and that hurt as the fish were banging on the bait. Overall I did okay with about 15 keepers, biggest around mid-twenties and second largest in the high teens. Pool fish was around 32lbs and was caught on bait. Oh yeah the weather was great! Nice to meet you Mike.

hey ken,
sounds like it was an ok trip, at least you got out. It looks like the weather is gonna suck again this weekend, which will mean that this will be the first time i have not fished for cod in two consecutive months since february of 2001. It happens.
Talk to you later,
willy

They ran out of bait ???

I hope they only charged you for 75% of the trip.

Thanks for the report Gmorhua. And its ashame that the weather will turn miserable again this weekend...tough for any long range cod party boat to stay on top of the fish, if they cannot get out a few times during the week.

I don't know much about cod fishin' but I know if I got blown out, 6 times, they'd have to carry me on the boat.

you guys are lucky that you got out, my trip i have booked for tomorrow is obviously going to be blown out with winds up to 40kts

Picture. The fish on the right was "hooked" right by the dorsal fin. You can see where. Quite the fight in 200+ feet of water.
