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.

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

SO NO LIMIT

So what trip we going on?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Just confirmed with Jimmy.

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.
