I gotcha Steve no problem some of these trips aren't for everyone and don't make sense for everyone , but for some of the people that live south of the Driscol they would rather sleep on the boat for 6 hours than take that drive. Maybe we can con you into a southern spring Blackfish trip or A spring Striper .There's alway MACKEREL if you dare!

See ya around

If I lived down there would join u in a heartbeat! I will certainly join u this winter-spring for a trip or two. I think u run a great operation and have always enjoyed the trips I have done with you.

I live up north too. Last year I joined the Express for the commaraderie (sp?) It was GREAT! I felt like we had this massive party boat and I was going on a cruise to dance on some other peoples' waters. It was just plain fun.

But I certainly understand that I could've halved my trip by just driving to Montauk.

Looks like i'll have to do some of each

There's been alot of contraversy about the bag limit on COD for these trips To BLOCK well here it is......

I just got off the phone with Travis Ford from NMFS on the updated COD bag limit. While fishing in the EEZ the size limit is 22 inches and a bag limit of 10 per CALENDER day unless you are on a trip longer than 15 HOURS covering 2 consecutive calender days. Example we are leaving 8:00 pm on the 5th ( 1st calender day)Returning on Feb 6th 8:00 ish ( second calender day over 15 hours) You are allowed a double bag limit of 10 x 2 calender days = 20 COD FISH.
So to Sum it up .... Bag Limit On These Trips 20 COD PER PERSON

If any on wants to pm me there E mail address I have an E mail from NMFS i can forward .

I hope this clarifies some things and may be with the Double Bag limit it will make some deciding factors for someone BOOKING one of these trips.

As always thanx
Capt Jimmy

Just finished tying up around 40 Killer King Cod rigs.

Wonder how the blue and white tiger will work??

Codfishing slowed up off Block Island the past few days. The full moon tends to effect the bite and It appears the moon is having an effect on the fishing now. Fishing should improve after this on the down side next week. Make your reservations now so you don't miss out.

Over the past month good catches have been made but reports have been inconsistent as well. Sometimes bait is better and other times jigs work best depending on what the cod are feeding on. Be prepared for both and change your strategy as conditions warrant.

Listen to the captain and watch the mates and anglers who are catching. Be prepared to adapt and you will succeed.

Good luck, Leif

Rigs, cakes and chowder are being prepared. Feb. 5th should be good.

They are KILLING THEM NOW IN THE AREA. Let's hope it lasts for a month or so.

Let's get em!
