Headed out with the Raritan Anglers Club, to Gloucester for some Cod, Haddock, Pollock and Cusk on board the Yankee Clipper. We left Friday night at 10:00 p.m. Got to Gloucester around 4:30 a.m. We sailed at 5:30 a.m. Heading out was a little rough, I even was starting to feel sea sick, but eventually felt better once we got to the fishing grounds. Sailed about two hours and half. They set the anchors we started fishing in 280 feet and plenty of dogfish to go around the boat. The Captain decided to make a move to deeper waters around 320' and it was a good one. Started to see some nice haddock and cod coming up. I decided to go with the jig and boom nice market cod about 8-10 pounds. All together for the day. Caught 4 cod 5 Haddock and three Cusk. Overall, besides the 300 dogfish and blue shark we had to deal with. The Club ended up with about 150 nice fish. 47 guys, everything was divided evenly. Great group of guys. The Captain tried his very best, mates were good. the cook was a nasty son of !@#$. Surprise they even have him working there. Still managed to have a great time. To be honest, good experience. I really don't think, I'll be doing it again anytime soon. To long of a ride for my taste. I think, I'll take my chances in NJ and Montauk. I didn't take any pics, there was nothing really to brag about. Some of the others did. If they send them to me, I'll post them here.
