Stars aligned and I got in a trip this week. Took a bit but found em and they were hungry. Put on 11K lbs in 30 hours

Well I didn’t get captions right w pics and pictures are sideways. Dunno how to fix that but ya’ll get the gist of it

Looks like a lot of work, and a lot of fun. Commercial or personal use?

55 cents a pound at the dock. They made me deliver at 10 pm last night. Fresh fish-keep it moving

Use 13/0 circle hooks with a swivel in the eye, on a 10 or 15 hook vertical leader with hooks 18” apart and swivel between each. 6 lb piece of rebar (wrapped in rubber to protect paint) for a weight.

Great success!
I am ready to order cod and halibut.
We are out!

Where were you fishing and where do you get your squid?

Fish buyers usually have bait for sale as a service for the fleet. This squid is $2 lb but I only used about 30 lbs. About 35 miles down the coast near Elizabeth Island. Small tides help. Cod spawned about 6-8 weeks ago and are now feeding heavily on sand lance. Puking up tons of it.

Awesome!

Sure is.

When I was a kid my Dad would get dried salted codfish in a wooden box. We made gravy with it. Good stuff.

Go catch them.

I have a fair amount of Portuguese in my area. Bunch of Portuguese restaurants too.

Man , can the Portuguese cook cod. Heaven on earth. Man , am I blessed here.

Catch more cod.

When you choose the pic etc and it shows as a thumbnail, before you click all done, you'll see where it says Right, Left etc with arrows to the right of your thumbnail. I usually have to click the right arrow. The right arrow looks like what yours needed too

looks great

I am glad you had a good run. I should have been along to get i the way. You were hardly out of the bay. Be Safe.

Are those the same cod we pay $6 to $8 a pound for filets in the store?

Thank you for sharing these pictures.

It would depend on what type of cod you are buying. Those are Pacific cod, I would bet. There are several types of cod sold in stores.

Looks like a lot of fun
