Also known as cod, codfish.
A heavy-bodied groundfish of rocky slopes and ledges in cold water. In recent years feeding and spawning aggregations have re-established off Block Island — a wintertime prospect there rather than a nearshore bay/Sound target.
A cold-water/winter fishery in this area; nearshore aggregations off Block Island show up in the winter months.
Rocky slopes, ledges, boulder/rough bottom and wrecks with coarse sediment in cold water.
Mainly a Block Island Sound / offshore Block Island wintertime prospect — not reliable in the inner bays and Sounds.

Augusto fishing notes are a starting point, not a guarantee — fish move with the water and the season. Nothing here is a substitute for current state regulations or local knowledge.
