Hopefully I will have the dates off as I don't feel up to driving all the way to Montauk yet. Good thing is that we should be able to keep a double limit given that the trip leaves before midnight and is over 18hrs.

Give me a date and im there

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Was fortunate enough to do 2 of the trips to up around Block with you guys last year. Had a ball and caught loads of cod. My first trip I had 22 to like 14lbs with numerous throwbacks. My second trip I had like 12 with TONS of throwbacks. Great trip, I suggest you get out on the MISS BELMAR PRINCESS if you can. These trips are awesome.

Won't be able to swing it this year.

Good luck to all that get out.

Leif

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Looks like a great schedule. Wish I could go on every trip. The cod are moving in already and good catches have been reported. Hopefully it will be as good as last year. If they are there Capt. Jimmy will find them.

Leif

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

$200 for a trip that will take you to WHEREVER the cod are and will last as long as it takes, for $200 might be the best deal around beats driving out to tauk n getting a hotel especially if ur from the philthy like me montauks a hike!! 200 clams, jesus jimmy don't you got to try to make some $ lol got to figureout my student teaching schedule and i'm their BACCALA BONANZAA PART DEUX

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

HAHA THATS IT HAHA
Leif what dates you looking at, if i can i'm hoping the 12th or 19th of feb, i can only do fridays with student teaching

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

sounds like a great trip.. but just for your information.. once you leave the dock.. your legal limit is "PER TRIP" not per 24hour period..

if you go out at 1pm for tuna and catch 3 yft per my by 7pm.. dont wait until midnight and catch 3 more per man.. doesnt work like that.. just wanted to let yo know that.. i am NOT stirring the pot.

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

you will be running from belmar around to block correct? i see someone said around 6 hours? hmmm... might have to take off my womens underwear and go on one of these! sounds like a great time!

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Thong or boy shorts ;)

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Sport, We had a blast on these trips. Couple of beers and some fish cakes on the way out. A few stories and down in the bunk for a 6 hour nap. We get there around 3am, look around a little and start fishing.

You can leave the panties on, this is much easier than driving 4 hours after fishing all day.

Leif

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Are you sure because every boat I've been on out of Mass does a two day limit for groundfish on 24 hr or greater trips. I believe there are different regs for tuna and groundfish. Capt Greg of the YC indicated that if the trip is over 18 hrs and covers two days and has two licensed captains, you can keep two day limits for groundfish. Maybe it is a state regulatory issue?

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

i thought there was only a size limit on cod not keep

I spoke to Capt. Jimmy about this. Lenght of trip has nothing to do with it.

1) We will be fishing in federal waters

2) NJ Has no limit on Cod except size.

SO NO LIMIT

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

So what trip we going on?

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

There is now a federal limit of 10 fish. If we could find fish in NY state waters and never enter federal water on the return trip, we could keep an unlimited amount. However the fish are not that close to Montauk.

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

IF I CATCH 10 COD I WILL CONSIDER THAT AN AMAZING TRIP

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

I'm not saying it is bad or that I would base my decision on the limit. Even if I only caught small cod and had a limit that would mean about 15lbs of fillets. I just was trying the clarify things. I know that in NY, Mass and NH a 24 hr trip equals a two day limit of groundfish.

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

gotcha, i am actually more excited for those giant sea ravens lol

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Last year we actually crushed more big sea ravens out there than I've ever seen around here. I had 4 or 5 each trip along with 2 or 3 jumbo bergalls.

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

If it was state Regs NJ COD NO L IMIT 21” I am hoping to do one of these trips.:)

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

Just confirmed with Jimmy.

Leif

Re: What If " King Cod Express Ii " Miss Belmar Princess
 

No prob. The laws are so screwy that different states have different interpretations for enforcement purposes. I know that NY is enforcing the 10 fish federal limit this year, so I guess that is another plus for leaving from Belmar.
