got the opportunity to take the kids across the street, plus their dad, out on the water on monday.  it was absolutely flat calm.  we launched out of half moon bay and hit the "triangle of death" for rockfish.  the kids were hooked up with 5 foot ultralight spinners and 2 ounce laser minnow jigs,  in two and a half hours, they easily caught 30 rockfish each.  most were 4-5 inches, the few that came home with us were a half to a pound and a half.  i got lucky and stuck an absolute hog of a lingcod, 26 pounds 3.75 ounces on a certified scale.

That is a beautiful Ling Cod Alan. I never caught one on  any of my few West Coast fishing trips but on my bucket list for sure.
Kudos for taking the kids out. Maybe that is what brought on the good karma.
