Linging Season

[howardrf]

Looking to go for ling. Not sure what time of year party boats target ling and cod. Noticed most are fishing for porgys. Any info appreciated.

The Paramount is doing Ling marathons every Mon, Weds, Fri.. Other days they are mostly fishing Porgies I think... Its a long day 6:30 to 5 PM or so on those Ling marathon trips,, but those guys catch fish.. My best days bottom fishing trips in recent years have been aboard the Paramount.. You might catch a few flounder and Cod as well.... bob

Usually June thru Dec is best for ling. I know the Paramount did well yesterday with some jumbo porgies and flounder mixed in with 20-30 ling per man.

Ling trip I was on recently (Paramount) was a 2 hour ride and worth it... If they moved in, you'll get even more time at the rail!!!!

Cod trip on Jamaica II this Monday. Best bang for the buck this week.

I fish the Paramount usually every week some weeks are better then others but I never had a bad trip at all this year. If your considering going try the Paramount he fish's years round for them. My last trip I had 27 Ling & a Keeper Cod my buddy who came with me had 29 Ling. Some weeks I had Flounders & Porgys mixed in with my catch as well.

I fish the paramount almost every weekend as well, Francis is a great bottom fishing captain and always gives you a shot to load the cooler.

I noticed a lot of porgy trips. Are they in different areas than ling?

Porgies are in 20-60 feet right now. Ling are in 150-250 feet.

Yikes....some difference. Must also be longer trip to deeper water. Paramount trip is 6:30-5 pm. must take a good deal of time getting to grounds!
