great day on the water. curtis, good luck with your new job!!!!!
No matter how busy life can get. You have to make time to fish! Well done Boss. ;) With Gassho! ;D
Nice Ling! Great report with a good bunch of anglers. Always enjoy your reports and seeing the personal safety gear being worn while motoring.
Even a bad day on the water beats a good day at work. Looks like your day was OUTSTANDING!!
cool, nice trip.
I wish I could spend that much time on the water like some of you guys.
whats the difference on a Cabezon and lincod?
We were all having way too much fun to take pictures...sorry.
The biggest fish for the day was the ringer on board...Alan of course. It was caught on a dual shrimp fly rig each with it's own live bait of freshly caught rock cod. It was soaking down there while we were eating and talking. Then Alan decided to check it because there was very little movement of the rod. While he was reeling it up, he said he thinks he has a ling cod and slowly cranked that puppy up...and low and behold, it was a monster in out waters today...probably a 15# male.
Alan once again proves that baited shrimp flies out fishes anything else.
yeah, i knew there were rockfish on the hook already, but i was too lazy to pull them up and we were limited out on black rockfish anyway, so i just let them hang there for a while. when i started reeling them up, i told vadney, "um, this is a little embarrassing, but i might have third fish on the line. would you grab a gaff?"
It is great to be on the water and even sweeter when the fish are biting. We bombed over here today.
