Yes. I can speak.... We do most of our fishing.... I'm from Fogo Island, the community of Fogo. We fish most of our cod about 40 miles north-northeast of Fogo, and there's a lot of effort contained there from vessels from all up and down the coast, fishing from 2J to 3L and 3K. We are seeing really good catch rates.
We use a technology called longline, which is a Mustad system, and we use hooks. In that industry, getting three-quarters of a pound to one pound per hook is considered good fishing. On our last trip, we averaged two pounds per hook. In two days, we had 40,000 pounds of cod, so we're seeing really good catch rates.
Now, I can't speak for the 3L area, but from what I hear from other harvesters, from Labrador right up to 3L, the fish are distributed all along the coast and there seems to be an abundance of cod. That's from my personal observation.
