<br>Forty degrees temperature and light winds allowed B-Fast’s <br>DECISIVE to fish Stellwagen’s shaol-water on Thursday<br>and Friday. John Shwiner of Edison,NJ and his three<br>seasoned angling pals found non-stop jigging action in 80<br>to 100 ft. Doubles of “Market” cod were the rule from the <br>first drift to the last with a few pollock to 15#’s mixed in.<br>Capt. Scott headed the tired anglers on the 17 mile run<br>back to Green Harbor early with coolers full of filets.<br>John has been fishing Stellwagen for the past 8 years. He <br>proclaimed this year’s trip the best ever and scheduled<br>a return trip to fish again next week. James Whitten’s<br>group from the Bronx,NY was originally scheduled for <br>Sunday. Given the 10 kts or less, 1 to 3 ft seas forcast<br>for Friday, Jim hustled his group together late<br>Thursday night. Capt. Scott found the bait stacked-up<br>to fifteen feet above the bottom. As the doubles came <br>over the rails, herring and sand eels were in evidence on<br>the deck. Mostly 8-15 pound cod filets with a few<br>pollock filets filled the coolers bound for NY. We will be exhibiting at the Greater Boston Sportsmen's Show this weekend<br>February 9-11. <br><br><br>Capt. Mike Bartlett<br>B-Fast Charters<br>www.bfastcharters.com<br><br>Capt.
