I've had considerable luck digging for Cod and Ling out of Brooklyn this winter. I've actually enjoyed it.
Here is last weeks Cod

I am going to spend the wekend on the water if anyone wants to come. Sunday on the Ocean Eagle at 7AM off of Pier 5 on Emmons Avenue and Monday!! On the Marilyn Jean 5 I think at 6AM,<==
Both are farms and mudhole trips.
There is fish out there
mrbrklyn,
Nice catch for sure!!!!
Question, what are... FARM & MUDHOLD Trips???
Terms I have not heard of before.
And, how you cook the cod???? Enjoyed fresh cod in Alaska, DELICIOUS!!!!
TANKS.

I had to look up mud and farm

tight lines, I need to definitely plan a trip to Brooklyn!
Nice Cod and your lucky you can keep them down there !! Good luck ! John Taylor
Cod is great on the table but doesn't fight much -- even the 15 - 20# fish we catch here come up easily, at least compared to a comparably size halibut. I know nothing about red hake. Can you help me out? I've caught silver hake in Puget Sound; they were mediocre at best on the table.

Farms and the Mud Hole are references to fishing areas about the Opening of the Hudson Canyon in the NY Blight
mrbrklyn!
TANK you for the explanation, but there you go again!!! Using words that I have no understanding of them. ::)
Remember, you are dealing with a guy here with limited acumen!!!!
Hudson Canyon and the New York Bight.
Thank God for Google!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Bight - A BIGHT is a curve or recess in the coastline or the break between NJ and NY at the Hudson River. - GOT IT!!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Canyon - And the Hudson Canyon - sounds like an interesting place to fish, for sure.
This map helped me put it all together!!!

Our son lives in Astoria and I hope to fish with you on a future trip while in the NY City area.

where is there?
Well I fish in NH and I assume your fishing out of NY correct ???? John Taylor
This year NH limits are I believe as follows.
Cod 1 fish 21" minimum Sept 15th thru Sept 30th two weeks only
Haddock 15 fish 17" minimum April 15th thru Feb 28th 2021
Pollock 19" no limit open all year
Halibut 41" one fish per boat per trip no closed season. Good luck on that one Lol !!!
Wolffish you can't keep
I think that is all correct but let me know if I made any mistakes. Thank goodness for Haddock, Pollock and Cusk !
John Taylor
Nice haul!
How far off shore of Red Bank?
Thanks
Dom
Wow! That's not bad at all.
Wish I had my boat back for times like this.
Keep at it Mr. BK
Best
Dom
Any upcoming charters from NYC?
