Hoping For A Trip This Weekend...Finally
Just got word this afternoon that my injection pump was incorrectly rebuilt by the local shop I have been loyal to for the past ten years. It will cost me an additional $1200 plus the $800 I already paid out. Needless to say I will be resolving this "in person"....cost me pretty much the whole month of July which I can't get back and I will make this well known to my former vendor. Hopefully we will get the pump installed by Friday so we can guarantee a trip for this weeke
No Trips This Weekend...
I am disappointed to report that we will not get off the dock this weekend despite the great weather and inside reports of a hot Cod bite on Coxes. The portside injection pump is down in New Haven getting rebuilt for a second time this season...it's been a real nightmare and I am cutting lose all my former vendors for shoddy work, a lack of professionalism and a total disregard for my business and my customers who have come to rely and enjoy fishing on Codzilla during the su
No Good News...No Trip Today
I hate having to cancel a trip in the 9th hour but that's what happened with today's scheduled trip with my good friend Dave and his group. Guys took time out of work, ect to go fishing and we dropped the ball. I'm willing to limp off the dock and even do an oil change at sea but we had more to deal with than just that and your safety is my number one priority when we throw the lines. Risking it for a couple of Cod will never be my mantra...safety first. So today Bob and
Friday's Trip Is Sold Out...Might Do A Saturday Trip If We Have Enough Interest To Get In On The
I hate this website at times...just spent an hour updating everything and then "poof" everything vanished. Sickening and disturbing but let's forget that nonsense. So bottom line is I want to fish Coxes this Saturday if I can get enough interest. The Cod bite is on and I know where, just need a crew and some patience if we have to do an oil change at sea. Did it yesterday with no complaints...the guys fished right through the 10 minute ordeal like it never happened and we
A Good Start Today...Next Trip Friday July 19th, One Spot Open
Today we had a good start to our summer Cod season, I would rate it a solid "B". I was hoping for some bigger fish but I will take market Cod all day long. There was no "lights-out" drops...it was a grind all day long drifting at several depths covering 10 NM...so we burnt some fuel. Jigs were the ticket and anyone who even put a hint of clam on the hook got clobbered by dogs and they were ferocious beyond anything I have ever seen at this time of year. Usually long gone
Not Enough Interest Today For A Trip, Hoping We Can Fish This Sunday, July 14th...
Can't run a trip with only a party of two. Needless to say we stayed tied to the dock and sadly, it was perfect weather and tides today. I shake my head as I watch all the sheep board the headboats for a glorified day of Scup fishing...and I can't put together a party of at least five for a day of Codfishing? It's sad but all I can do is offer these special trips - at a GREAT PRICE!!! So today was a scratch and we didn't visit the nice little wreck in the above pic I was
Hoping For A Trip This Wed, July 10th...Cod, Seabass and Fluke
Hoping to sneak in another trip this Wednesday July 10th...we will be working all kinds of depths and bottom structure in hopes of catching some Cod, Seabass and Fluke. The weather looks incredible all week and although I want to fish on Wednesday, I could do other days depending on how many guys we can get. The usual plan...throw lines at 6 AM and come back when we have fish (usually around 5 PM latest). $125 pp includes FRESH bait, tackle and ice. And please keep in min
July 6 Update...Fog & Seabass Rule The Day...Would Like To Get In Another Trip Soon...
The weathermen actually got it right for once. It was Pea-soup all day from beginning to end with the exact 2-3' sea state in the AM, 3-4' in the PM. Aside from Googans running around with no radar and a few tugs to dodge, all in all it was a great trip. We worked on one spot all day and got our full boat limit of some real big Seabass, a few Cod, some short fluke and other cellar dwellers. All in all a great trip and everyone bent a rod and had fun. Hoping to get in a tr
July 5th Update...
Hope everyone had a great holiday yesterday, I was at the Bristol Parade and it was great, very patriotic. We never got out on Wed due to lack of interest. I have a private party trip tomorrow, but I might be able to do something this Monday or Tuesday? The weather certainly looks nice...if your on vacation this week and want to fish, give me a call. I will fish if I have at least 4 guys....trip report tomorrow night. Capt
July 1st Update...
Looks like we don't have any interest for tomorrow so I am moving our trip to Wednesday, July 3rd. I do have two as of right now so I need two more to make it a trip. Call in sick, put away the "honey to do" and let's fish. Weather and tides look real good and I want to see some Cod come over the rail. Call, Txt or email me. Capt.
