Cod is among the most sought after fish by professional and weekend gourmets alike. The smaller ones can be found near rock strewn bottoms. If you"re after the big guys, head offshore to at least fifty feet of water. Wherever you drop your line, Marathon Cod rigs will get the job done. Squid, clams, crab, cut fish, and smal bait fish are popular baits. Still fishing and drifting are the best fishing methods.
