I was out Sunday, too. It was a beautiful day, as mtnbykr2 reports. Bait everywhere. Maybe the best part of the day was outfishing Sharon for a change. I've never caught ling cod before so I wasn't sure of what I had. I thought they were green but these weren't. I wasn't sure about the regs either so I just kept the first one, a 24 incher that weighed in at 6 lbs, 14 ozs.
In about an hour and a half, I pulled up two more potential keepers and lost what would have been the biggest, assuming it was another ling. It seems they were schooling under the bait. They bit on live squid, a dead squid and a little greenie. They aren't YTs or WSBs but they still gave me a good time.
I also didn't know how good eating they are. Now I wish I had kept two. It's beautiful fish. Hopefully they'll still be out there on Wednesday.
