PHENOMINAL Whiting Fishing Today

[fishark531]

More On Todays Trip

Conditions were AWFUL

5 to 10 out of North East and 2 to 3 foot seas was more like 10 to 20 out of North East and seas 4 to 6 with swells to 8 and bigger

Our game plan was to go for Whiting first and after 4 hours go for Haddock and Pollack. Based on Haddock reports from other boats our Captain recommended we stay with Whiting and Ling and occasional Haddock rather than head 45 Minutes further out and take a beating in the conditions we were dealt

Once again the Captain made the right decision as for 5 anglers we had close to 275 Fish with the majority of the Whiting being in the Baseball Bat Variety

Here are some pictures

Fisahark, great pictures. Certainly brings back memories. Do you organize and run these trips?

[fishark531]

Yes I do and unfortunetly the boat I fish with is no longer a sponsor here so that is all I can say

They really don't bother with them up there it costs too much to fish for them.

[Blackfish Doug]

The Whiting fishing keeps getting better and better every year and seems bigger and bigger every year. Their are also loads of ling mixed in. Just Amazing Fishing.
