![]() I know that it depends on species of course...
However, we know that ling, Cod, Pollock, etc are cold water fish as were Whiting when we still had them around... Just wondering at what temp do even these cold water fish "turn off" I recall years ago in the late 70's early 80's, we had a very cold winter one year, and the mid winter inshore fishing had slowed to a crawl.. I remember reading in I think the NJ Fisherman a head boat captain saying something to this effect.. "The water temps are below 39 degrees, and that usually really shuts down even the whiting and ling fishing"... The temp quoted may have been 36 degrees, I don't recall exactly, it was over 30 years ago.. Just remember though as you sit at home the next 6 or so weeks freezing and fishless, its happened before even when there were tons of "winter fish" around.. any thoughts on when its time to just call it quits, regarding water temps?... bob |

![]() By the looks of the iced in boats and the extended temp forecast its going to be a while.
I dont think there are enough fares to make the minimum to run out and if so I don't think the ling, cod, and pollock fishing is all that great here in to make it worth the trip. This time of year I prefer to re group all of my gear, re line rods, re stock the tackle, ect. Possibly by the end of Feb into April I'll head back out to bottom fish but really in 45-60 more days for the start of early season bass. Its winter in NJ, it is what it is. If you want to get out that bad a trip to mtk would be the best bet but that fishery I dont think has been all that great either. Good luck

![]() Usually 40* is that "Mendoza line" when it comes to ocean temps. If it drops below 40 things are very dogfishy and basically anything on the bottom kinda goes into hibernation mode.
Offshore is a different story - but the inshore stuff gets real tough inside of 40. |

btw, I am not wanting to get on a head boat and go fish for dogs, eels, and pout.. I just think its an interesting discussion, and right now, thats all we have... I can ice fish, but I went through the ice once at the age of 12-13, and was alone.. Good thing the water was only about 3-4 feet.. If it was deeper, I would not be typing this.. So i do NOT go on the ice...If the water isn't open i don't fish, I just talk about fishing..bob |

![]() Ha! He's correct! Any species with any sense would migrate far from this BS weather.....

![]() I agree! Why did I think I was going to stay home & Tog thru the winter? Even MD looks inviting at this point, well maybe in a week anyway!
