Anglers win cod game

"Cod fishing busted wide open," according to Frank Blount, skipper of the Frances Fleet yesterday.

"A small group of anglers boated well over 70 fat green cod. The high hook had 10 fish while another fellow went home with nine good cod. Longtime regular Dan Melino had three nice cod to take home while Richard from Cranston and his brother nailed nine nice fish for the day. Another two guys from Connecticut went home with well over a dozen nice cod.

"It was almost all cod today with all nice market-size fish in the 5- to 8-pound range and some larger cod into the lower teens. It was a one stop day! Again the local waters were teeming with bait and whales. Fresh surf clams were the ticket once again. Just a few perch and a handful of big pout today mixed in."
