thanks for your input.......I am gonna watch reports from both boats and see what happens....if you are serious about a Feb trip several of us may go and you are welcome to join in.....most likely be a Friday......carpool is a possibility also....we are all near 91.
tbob I figure this report of the Francis fleet would interest you.
Despite an unquestionably beautiful day for the end of January, the cod trip was uneventful to say the least. We started off within site of the Block and pulled in a couple of Ocean Pout. We steamed south east for deeper water and found only hordes of Dogfish. We headed back for the Block to get away from the dawgs. After a few spots at anchor with not so much as a touch, we finally found a few Cod and legions of Ocean Perch that were stripping our clams faster than we could send them down. Out of 16 people only 5 Cod were caught. An eighty one year old salt caught the $5 pool winner and honorable mention as High-hook with two cod of 6 & 8 lbs. I humbly took the $3 pool with a 24", 6 lb. Cod, which paid for half my fare. Without a doubt, a great day to get out there, too bad the Cod played hard to get. Lots of Harbor seals all around Point Judith. Many thanks to Cap'n Don and Ted who worked hard to provide some sport for our group of cabin fever victims.
This one regarding Walsh's
While the Frances does post detailed reports, I have been with them with disappointing results only to read a report that I was envious of. Because of that, i really appreciate *** members who post their reports from various trips, frances fleet included. I don't post much as i usually fish with my friend, who usually beats me to the punch. As for the AC, every time I go elsewhere to test the waters, I come back scratching my head wondering why I didn't drive the extra distance and go with Capt. Walsh
Are you over that FF thing yet???
