Cape Ann Images: Coddock! Possible Cod/Haddock Hybrid?

Why I created this......

Born and raised in Gloucester,Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bicycles! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. Artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years,they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas, I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!

I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

Coddock! Possible Cod/Haddock Hybrid?

The inshore dragger "Bantry Bay" skippered by Dan Murphy recently landed an unusual specimen, with coloring of a Cod and features of a Haddock this is the second known landing of this hybrid fish. Back in March of 2007 the Rockport dragger "Terminator" landed a similar specimen.

Also in this post I headed to Newburyport and caught the "Early Times" coming in to offload. And Josh catching a gull chick that wandered into the offloading dock at Gloucester Seafood Display Auction looking for a free meal.
