Georges Bank, and in the waters off Mass.. We will be lucky to get a fair Cod/Pollack fishery back.. any Haddock will be a bonus, but I won't hold my breath... Biggest I have ever seen one in NJ was one about 15 inches caught on the Dauntless last year ling fishing.. I remember the guy did keep it after asking the mate if it was ok... bob
June 3, 2012, while on a non-sponser party boat out of point, fishing northern mudhole deep wreck. I think around 35 or so were caught in about a 1/2 hour period. Had 3 myself, were all in the 3-4 pound bracket, strange.
