Absolute Pollock massacre on Eastmans

[spc06]

I've fished this boat for 10 years. I've never, EVER, seen fishing like this. Fishing so good, captain asked everyone to take off their teaser, and only fish with one hook. The boat, was at maximum capacity by 10AM. We only got to fish for 90 minutes, but everyone was grinning from ear to ear.

Absolute spectacular day!

Awesome meat trip for sure .Thanks for sharing

Loose the treble hooks , replace them with a heavy open eye siwash hook .
Hook up ratio will be as good or better .and way less chance of a hook in your hand on a thrashing fish .

absolutley 100% correct. Next trip: New rod (old one split, did you hear it?) and defintely using a single hook not a trebble. Thanks for watching!

like nothing I've ever lived through. Lots of guys came in from NJ for the trip.

Wow 😮 that’s awesome 👏. Back in the old days, I had great pollock fish and chips in upstate NY where they were called Boston blues. I caught a few small ones on the Manasquan Inlet north jetty many years ago.

we get harbor pollock by the jetty's in the summer, they are only about 4 to 8 inches long, and they stay until December or so, I didn't know they used to run in NJ. Thanks a million for watching!
