Re: RI cod trip
most use simple hi lo rig with the bottom hook up to 6-10 inches off the bottom and the top hook about 15--30 inches off the bottom.
sometimes dogs are a real pain and it's best to just go one hook near the bottom. add jewelry if it gives you confidence, i haven't seen any appreciable difference.
water off of block island is around 100 to 130 ft if even that. so if not much current, you can use lighter jigs down to 6-8 ounces. lighter jigs will keep you swinging longer, but be preapred to fish up to 16 ounces.
what day are you going, i'm trying to decide whether i do the 3.5 hr drive to snug harbor or a 1 hr drive down to brielle for saturday.
i'm batting 1 for 4 on my block island cod runs this year. 3 bad trips out of rhode island and 1 good trip out of montauk. the problem with this fishery is that it's not very consistent. even after reading a string of postive reports, you go up there and the fishing can be bone dry.
