Roger reported local cod fishing was quite good today. The Gail Frances was able to drift all day and found a steady stream of cod fish and good size sea bass. A full boat limit of sea bass today with sizes to 4 lbs. Hi hooks on the cod fish were in the 4-5 keeper apiece category and there were quite a few short cod today as well. For example Roy and Tom Tilsch from Avon Ct teamed up for 8 cod to ten pounds and an easy limit catch of nice size sea bass. A keeper fluke today! Very few scup and some big ocean perch and no unmentionables plus balmy temperatures made for a banner late November cod/sea bass outing. Biggest fish were in the low teens.

Roger reported a much much improved tog outing today. No slaughter but a handful of fishers managed a limit catch or close to it. Big fish today tipped the scales at just under ten pounds and the runner up was around 8.5 lbs. Plenty of short tog at each stop as well and a fair amount of short cod fish but just two keepers today. A handful of decent size sea bass as well. Both clams and crabs worked well for the tog.
