Am I being too optimistic? I think this winter blast will help to set up a nice cod run for New Jersey this year. I will be heading out next weekend and will post back.
Stay warm in the meantime and keep an eye on the action along with all

Yeh, April can be cold but as long as the sun is out, it is never cold on my boat. I have a surround and it let's sun in like a green house.
You don't have to go too far really to catch them. We caught cod 5 miles from the inlet on the fourth of July a couple of years ago.

If your looking for a fishing buddy, shoot me and e-mail when you think your planning to go. I never fished for cod, so what type of rod & reel, rigs, bait, line and sinkers do you use? Where do you launch from?
I`ve never fished for them myself but I can tell you this much. They use heavier equiptment for Cod because they use lots of lead and if I can remember the article I read last year correctly you`ll need about 40 to 50 lb line. I also remember reading they are not very good fighters either and using the heavier tackle really takes any sport out of it.
Few decent cod fish came up on Saturday on the Ocean Explorer
