Catching a winter cod

Captain Mike at the Frances Fleet reports that it was a successful week on the cod grounds.

Last weekend, the boat sailed with only a few people on each trip. On Saturday's trip high hook was six cod, and the largest fish weighed around 15 pounds. Hake were not as plentiful as the previous week, but there were still a few around. The fish have all been located in about 130 feet of water, southeast of Block Island.

The boats are scheduled to sail four days a week at 5 a.m. Call first to se sure the weather is acceptable. The number in Galilee is 783-4988. More information is available online at www.francesfleet.com/
