Are those the same cod we pay $6 to $8 a pound for filets in the store? 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. They like to call them ice Atlantic cod here and very popular for Friday night fish fry.

. We were targeting halibut and considered cod a trash fish. Was a time that was the general consensus. Used to joke and say Someday we’ll be trying to catch these.

We used to joke that halibut were stacked three deep across the floor of Cook Inlet. We never seemed to have a hard time hooking into fish of some sort. I've paid to go on a cod charter here in Maine. Good size boat with a good number of people and I don't remember anyone landing a fish. I sure miss Alaska.

are you out of Kodiak doing that? Out of Homer. Kodiak is better in my opinion because of markets, available area to fish and always somewhere to hide near by, and importantly the smaller tides. When current runs hard fish hug the bottom and only bite bottom hook. Done it there quite a bit. Loved that I could come in to the dock any time day or night and a crew would jump down and offload.
