Non-Fly 2024 Dirt bag Lingcod

Well no keepers for me this morning. A boat next to us running live bait caught two keepers in thirty minutes around the tide change.

Anybody else get out?

Back at it Friday

I'm guessing Puget Sound?

I'll be getting em off the Oregon Coast once I start getting out for salmon and halibut here soon.

Not on the sound but tomorrow is the Hali opener down here in area 2 and I plan to tangle with some dinosaurs as well. So very much looking forward to getting back out on the ocean.

I did receive a couple reports from friends today on the sound. Didn't take either of them long to get their fish. Hopefully there is a strong season in the sound this year. I love lings

Got one keeper and four that were just under 26. Can’t complain too much about that.

We got one keeper today. The wind made it really hard to fish today in the spots we were really trying to hit a hard. We did get a big cabbie also.

We had the opposite problem, not enough wind to drift over the spots, so had to use the motor to cover any ground. Really wishing that I had an electric! One keeper in the cooler, one swam off because of some incompetent netting

I have the advantage of not knowing what I’m doing in this fishery. This was Saturday. 2 keepers, one flounder, one fish lost. We were done pretty quick once we ran out from Everett.
Kind of embarrassing that the lingcod wore the same shirt as me…

Nice work dudes!

The month of May has been hell for Oregon Coast conditions. 10 day forecast isn't showing any relief. Might not get my gear salty until June.

 

[SeaRunner]

They're still out there

Had a good ling adventure with @Irafly . We found keepers.

The big one was just big enough.
