Lots of Lingcod – Great Fishing Over Last Weekend

Well, after canceling our trips for the first two weeks of of February due to a very rough  ocean, we finally had a few beautiful days last week end. The ocean was flat with very little wind and the fish were biting.  Quite a few limits on Lings, [2 per person,] and some limits on the Rock Fish,[7 per person.] Everyone was catching fish. We had quite a variety of the Rock Fish with Cabazon, Kelp Greenling[ also called sea trout,] Vermilion Rock, China Rock, and the usual Black Rock and Blue Rock Fish.  Everyone went home with some nice bags of fillets.

Crabbing on the other hand wasn’t quite as good. We did get a few dungeness crab but nothing to write home about. The beginning of the commercial crab season was the best it’s been in a long time but it has tapered off also. That’s normal in the crabbing end of things. I often hear people try to lay blame on things that are man caused but crabbing has always run in cycles, and it will definitely be picking up.

We have trips scheduled for the next few days so I hope the forecast is for no wind and flat oceans.

Come and go fishing with us.
