You beat me to it Dom.
I finally got to go cod jigging. This trip on the Helen H was my first trip to start off the 08 fishing season and it was a good way to start off the season on a high note. Surprisingly enough Eben and I were the first people on the boat and I positioned us in the port stern. Also in the stern was CaptDom We got to the fishing area before 7 and I decided to use my Calstar 800m and Saltiga 15 paired up with a 12oz lav and a blue fly. I hooked up instantly and got a nice keeper into the boat. then Eben followed. My next cast was less successful. I got tangled up with someone hooked into a Porbegal and had my jig cut so I had to re rig up that jig and I really didn't miss too much since Joe called lines up soon after I got messed up. So back in action after the 2nd drift we had over 16cod in our cooler. It was good picking then I decided to take a little break and as I did the action slowed down. We avoided heading in early to a loss of someones apendage due to Dom's quick thinking. This gave Eben a chance to try out my setup and as soon as his jig hit the bottom he got a keeper. So after I finished my break a couple drifts later the fish decided it was lunch time and the bent rods started. Eben and I were getting a fish a cast on these drifts then sadly the good day of cod jigging had to come to an end. Eben and I teamed up for 60 something keeper cod. We probably had 30keepers each not counting the ones that we threw back that were just legal or too skinny for our likings. Dom it was great meeting you and hope to fish with you again soon.
Only found time to take pics once in the morning
