COXES LEDGE SUMMER COD ($1100)
If you’re a fan of codfish but hate suffering at the rail through winter cold, a summer trip to Coxes Ledge is just the ticket. These structure laden, fish rich waters are located approximately 35 miles east of Montauk Point between Block Island and Martha’s Vineyard. Even amid the balmy summer doldrums it is possible to score extremely well with cod, pollock, and sea bass in this historic honey hole. It is not uncommon to encounter bluefin tuna and trophy sharks here as well.
These trips run a little bit longer than a conventional full day Block Island trips (up to 10hrs) to account for the long range travel. They are also highly subject to weather as a result. With that being said, Coxes Ledge trips are often prone to last minute cancellations and rescheduling so be prepared for some flexibility when booking.
