Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
While Marc's charter loaded up on whiting, Leif and I took another trip offshore.
We had a cooler full of cod, pollack, haddock, cusk, and redfish. Marc's charters are great and I have always had a good trip. Ended up with 35lbs of fillets each. Great food and nice people.

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
[QUOTE=fishark531;370135]Some of you know me
Most of you don't I am from Queens NY and Fishing for Whiting in the 70 ' s and early 80 ' s was all I did all Winter long We have had good Whiting fishing the last 5 years in NH but this year it is EXCEPTIONAL. It is actually an all year round fishery with the best fishing in the Summer Months FISHARC 531- I personally know how good this fishery can be. Back in the 40/50/60's I was a Winter-fishing regular on the Long Branch Fishing pier. It was then possible to manage catches like this, but I never remember any of us taking more than 2 or 3 dozen fish home to eat, freeze, or give to the neighbors. On calm nights with a NW wind you could make catches like this off the jetties, or even off the beaches. Then the US government decided that the Northeast whiting/ling fishery was under-utilized. They tried to improve relations with the Russians by opening up the area to the big factory/processing ships. Well as you know, these ships came in and completely wiped out the fishery in a few years. It has yet to recover in the NY/NJ area over the last 40 years. The huge pile of fish in your last picture looks like you guys overdid it a little for a fish that been trying to recover for the last 40 years. How many whiting/ling can you use at one time? I know it's none of my business, but I would like to respectfully suggest that you be a little more judicious in the quantity of fish you kill on a single trip.

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
With all due RESPECT
ALMOST all of my catch was donated to a local Food Bank The daggers are averaging 2500 to 4000 pounds per tow I do not believe our catch was in excess I take what the law allows When I go for Haddock I take 3 I abide by the laws Most of them do not benefit the recreational fisherman I appretiate your opinion but RESPECTFULLY disagree |

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
Marc,
Next time you go release a few of those baseball bats and tell them, in a nice and encouraging manner, that the mud hole and NJ/NY misses them and that they'd be welcomed back down here with open mouths, ahem arms. Nice job |
