Boat went in late this year and it seems that everything is "ahead" so I've tried bass fishing twice this week, with the same "Zippidy-Doo-Dah" result. Well this Jerk needed to feel a jerk on the other end of the line so I hit my closest offshore cod humps for some C&R. In a normal year I would have fished for cod at least 6 or 7 times prior to the arrival of my Striped Nemesis...
Unlike the bass, the cod were there and biting this morning. I ended up with 10 to 20", along with 7 small pollock to 12", too small for "sangweech" size unfortunately.
Twice I was fooled in thinking I had a decent cod on, but both times I had tail hooked a 19" fish. Wondering if they're hitting the top of the jig and not the bottom?? Don't think I've had more than 2 hooked this way prior to today's pair, so something has changed...
I only had 70 minutes of fishing time, so now I'm left wondering if I had more time available, would have I been able to find a body of larger fish. Something to mull over the next couple of days if the bass don't show up.
No complaints, just a fine, quick trip...
