The Saturday
offshore wreck trip was the best in years for the big Jamaica. About 300 keeper cod up to 39LBs were boated (we don’t
count throwbacks) along with a dozen Pollock and some ling. We fished several wrecks and they all had life on them, some better
than others. The cod were larger than our last trip with most from 8 to 15LBS and a few larger.
Many passengers
had good numbers of cod along with a few ling and Pollock. Some of the high hooks were: Anthony Smith from Phila,
Bill Monahan from Bensalem, PA, Leon Curley from Phila, Mike Armbuster from Allentown, PA, Jerry Brown from Telford,
PA Jerry Rosenberg from Bear DE, Jim Matthews from Somerset, NJ, Troy Hawkins from Boston Mass. The pool winners
were: Dunbar Atkinson from Parlin NJ with a 39LB cod John Petty from Piscataway, NJ with a 30LB cod. It looks
good for our upcoming trips. The water temperature is right for a good migration of cod. We have not had these conditions
since the mid 1990’s when we had our last good run of codfish. That year we had good fishing through April and into
May on the offshore wrecks. The big Jamaica is scheduled to sail offshore every Saturday and Sunday. We will sail the night
before at 10:30 or 11.
Good Again on Sunday! 3/7 report
We sailed
offshore again Saturday night and tried a different area. Once again we had very good codfishing. It was not quite as wild
as Saturday but the cod were a little larger with most of the fish between 10 and 18LBS, and several larger fish up to 28LBS. A light crowd onboard boated over 140 cod with a few ling and Pollock mixed in. The Pool winner was: James Sutler
from Staten Island, NY with a 28LB cod. James also landed 9 more cod from 15 to 24LBS.
James Blushstein from Vineland,
NJ caught a double-header Pollock that weighed 25LBS & 20LBS plus 6 cod and several ling. Chris Steinert landed 10
cod with 5 between 18 and 22LBS, Barry Young from Belmar caught 10 cod, 6 weighed from 18 to 24LBS, Joe Gissinger
from Phila also caught 10 cod, and others with 8 or more were: Bobby Claudio from Wall, NJ, Todd Hooper from
Whiting, NJ,
It looks like we have an old fashioned spring cod run developing. Not only are the offshore wrecks
holding loads of cod but, they are also migrating to some of the 20 to 40 mile wrecks. The big Jamaica will be sailing for
cod through April. Check out our fishing reports and schedule at our web-site at: www.bigjamaica.com We will also add additional trips during Easter week vacation. There is still space available on the trips sailing
this weekend. For further information call the office at 732-528-5014 or go to our website @ www.bigjamaica.com. For further details go to our website and click on the “schedule”. Check our schedule for updates @ www.bigjamaica.com
