Cod fishing question
I would like go Cod fishing out of Atlantic Highlands or Belmar sponsor boats next month. I would like to try jigging for them but have never done this before. Does anyone have any recommendations on what are the best jigs to use? What weights will I likely need? Is any color preferred? What about butterfly jigs or crippled herring? Pretty much all I know about Cod is that they are tasty so any information is appreciated. I have only caught Cod as an incidental catch when blackfishing.

Re: Cod fishing question
Call Dennis on the Russian Roulette, he'll tell you exactly what you need to bring. He has some dates posted for next month as well in the open boat section.

Hammered gold diamond jig with a pink teaser. Works good for me

Re: Cod fishing question
I found this gem from years ago... nice one Lief. Try searching the subject on this board. There was a hooking study that showed that treble hooked jigs lead to higher mortality of the smaller fish. This was due I believe since the fish actually got snagged and injured. The paper may not have been published(yet?)as I couldn't find it....

Re: Cod fishing question
I just got back from cod fishing out of montauk on Monday. I spent the whole trip jigging. I started off with a 10oz vikey with no luck I switched to a 10oz gold hammered with green teaser and proceeded to do pretty well. We were in 100-120' water. Once the wind picked up I had a tough time holding bottom. I was just about to switch back to a 17oz vikey but the trip was over.
