BrianBM Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Now that the GOM is effectively closed to recreational cod anglers (or it was, when I last looked) what's the deepest waters which we fish for cod? Wikipedia notes that cod can be found down to 600' but are usually found in 50 - 200' of water. That 200' is as deep as I've ever fished for them. Gents?

MakoMike Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) GOM in 2019 had a two week season for cod. Its not uncommon on the head boats in the GOM to fish them at over 300 feet down. Out at Cox's ledge off of RI we usually catch them in around 125 feet of water. During the winter around Block Island it's not unusual to catch them in water depths of 100 feet or even less. Edited December 7, 2019 by MakoMike ====Mako Mike====Makomania SportfishingPt.

Roccus7 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I've caught GOM cod from a rip at 20' to 350'.
