Jamaica II 10/18/10 19 lb. Cod
« on: October 18, 2010, 11:27:40 PM »
Went out on the 12 hour Cod/Ling trip today.
Never fished that deep before and had a hard time hooking the ling. Did well with losing rigs. 
Some of the regulars finished with numbers in the 20s and a few cod.
On the first drop I was lucky to land a 19 lb. cod that held up to win the pool.
Final for me were 2 cod, 2 ling, and a long needed day off fishing. Forgot my camera but hopefully I will get a few from the Capt. from his.

Fished with Powerpro braid Mike.

Paul, braid is they way to go. I found that they are bottom feeders, I will bounce around slowly till I feel the bait get picked up. After I feel the bait being picked up I start to follow the direction of the pick up taking the slack and give a short swing. That has always worked for me when using j-hooks. When using circles everything the same except the swing just lift rod and reel. The hook needs to be below your sinker and bergalls are awesome bait.

Thanks for the tips Mike.
