Captain Greg reported a better day on the cod grounds. We worked the Island today and it was much better then the long ride to coxes. We picked a few fish on the drift. We jumped around here and there and found some and some cunners. It seems there was a little bit of a bit more to the west so we have our marching orders for tomorrow. Sailing by reservation at 6am on the Lady Frances.

Captain Greg reported a slower day on the cod grounds. We took the ride down to coxes but it didnt pan out. We set up and we had cod right away but as soon as it started it was over. We poked around a few more drops but didnt work out. We steamed back to the island and found some bait. We picked another one here and there but very slow. We will be back at it tomorrow at 6am on the Lady
