stellwagon bank for cod
Hello all,
My wife and I just moved from chatham to plymouth and I am anxious to start fishing Stellwagon bank for cod/haddock. I'm in the process of selling my 20 c-hawk and upgrading to a 23' seacraft. I was just wondering if anyone here fishes stellwagon for cod?

I have a 300 lb commercial cod liscense and just moved from chatham to plymouth so I have to learn to fish out of Plymouth now. Until I get a seacraft I'll probably have to fish stellwagon in the shallows, I don't dare go much further with a 10 degree 20' runabout.

best fishing map . . .ever
I'm sure you aware of all the regs and rolling closures seeing that you have a federal permit (which is no longer available). I used to fish for Cod in the bay, when I lived in MA.
I never had much luck on (or inside) stellwagen . . . I've been told that the fish are outside of stellwagen from June - Sept . . . and will move inside Oct/Nov - May Once you get your seacraft, use this chart and your fishfinder (around the drops). You'll should have no trouble catching your limit. http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/of00-410/pdf/pseudo.pdf (this is part of a series of USGS charts. . . It's an 8mb download. Beware if you have dialup.) http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/of00-410/ If you buy the printed charts ($5/ea) each quardrent is poster size (all the charts taped together will easily cover an entire wall) That's a lot of detail.

Re: best fishing map . . .ever
Thank you so much for the chart. I spent the whole day studying it. Its going to take me years to fish all these new locations! Some of the close ones like long bank and breakwater bank and the rockpile I can try with my boat now, the rest have to wait until I upgrade. My boat pounds so bad in anything over 3' waves, even if I slow down.
I wish I had a chart like that years ago where I used to fish out of Chatham. Thanks again cap

Re: best fishing map . . .ever
Schipper55 - I fished the breakwaters and the rockpile last year in early sept for a few hours . . . . if I remember correctly the rockpile was pretty hot for pollack . . . lots of double headers with 15+lb pollack. Good Luck!! Keep me posted . . . I miss fishing that area.

Re: Any Luck Schipper?
I haven't been out for a while. Between work and the weather I've been out of luck. I'm planning on going out next weekend if I get a day of good weather. I'm still studying that chart!
I'll let you know when I get em' cap
