Anyone going fishing on opening day?

[David Hall]

It needs to be on the trip but anyone over the age of say 63.5 should be exempt?

The only thing 63.5 will get you is a discount at Denny's

I'm in.

Just talked it over with Alan and Randy and I'm gonna make the long drive from Phoenix. I'm new to this whole rock fish/ling thing so for this trip I'll be taking on the role of the new guy with hundreds of questions...

So for my first question, what do you guys like for lead heads?

I ask because I cast my own lead weights and I would like to bring some lead heads to give out to you guys.  I checked some prices and I found 6 to 10 oz jigs going for 10-15 buck each.  That's really expensive to me. I think free is better, so I wanna contribute some to the group.  But since I have no experience with this yet, I'm not sure of the sizes or preferred shape.  So give me some input... these are the two basic shapes I found.  Group majority decides, then we can pick sizes since the molds are multi cavity and we can have a range of sizes.

Bullet head or shad head?

or other choice....

Great to have you join us! Don't worry about being new to lingcod and rockfish fishing we'll help you out.

Thank you for the offer of free jig heads, it's greatly appreciated. I think the two types of jig heads you posted are the most popular styles so bring a variety of both. Add far as weight goes I personally use 6,8 or 10oz since we are allowed to fish up to 300ft deep.

I'm looking forward to this trip, it's gonna be fun!
