Description
Summary:slack a 262 During a 'slack tide' when the water is relatively motionless. they will have to work much harder in hauling the nets up from the bottom. 277 .they will in all likelihood 'go jiggin (g)' as soon as the tide is 'right.' The latter is of crucial concern since few few of any size or just sculpins are 'jug' when the tide is 'slack.' On the other hand, if the tide is 'running' strong a crew may 'hit' or run into 'drift of fish' and 'jig' hundreds of pounds of large cod in a matter of minutes.
