Professional Cod-fishing is too well known as an important commercial industry to call for any remark in our short treatise. Their range is from the coast of New York northerly beyond the Banks of Newfoundland. Usual weight from five to fifteen pounds. In the New York markets the inferior Haddock {Morrhua gle-finus), in the language of marketmen, is sometimes shoved off for genuine Cod-fish. The counterfeit is smaller sized, with different markings, and dryer flesh. Off New York Cod are fished for from boats. For tackle use from one hundred to two hundred feet stout cotton or hempen line; small Cod hook or large Black-fish hook; pound sinker. Bait with clam, Menhaden, small fish, or soft crab. Cod swim in schools. They bite sharply and voraciously.
