5 hour rock fishing trip

Sunday’s fishing was real good.  It was the catching that was difficult.  A few small Lingcod had to be thrown back with three legal ones [ 22 in. or bigger] put in the basket along with a few rock fish.  I think they averaged 2.6 fish per rod.

I have been fishing all of my life and I always have the classic fisherman’s quotes when the catching isn’t as good as I like it. “It’s a full moon,  we’ve had back to back storms,  too much bait fish so the fish aren’t hungry,  you should have been here yesterday, etc,etc.”  But, we do love to fish and we know the next time the catching will be better.  Oh ya, did I mention the crabbing wasn’t good either.

We have another 5 hour trip going out tomorrow. The ocean is flat and they are calling for a little rain but that just makes for an exciting trip. [ I much prefer to fish in the rain instead of the wind.]

Until next time,
