About Atlantic Cod

Party boats target Cod over rocky bottoms, wrecks, and deep ledges in depths of 60 to 300 feet. Clams, squid, and jigs tipped with natural bait fished on the bottom produce the most fish. Cod are aggressive feeders that often hit on the drop, and double hookups are common when you find a school.

Cod are strong, steady fighters that use their weight and broad body to resist being hauled up from deep water. Most fish run 5 to 15 pounds, with jumbo cod exceeding 30 pounds. The fight from deep water is a real workout, and the bigger fish require patience and steady pressure.
