Went out for a few hours in the late afternoon on Saturday, as car troubles kept us from starting earlier. Between 3 fishermen/women, we reeled in 7 lings and 2 copper rockfish in several hours. Most of the lings were around 20", but we kept one healthy (and delicious!) 27 incher. Our depth finder was intermittent, but I'd estimate we were fishing between 20 and 80 feet of water, drifting with the current. The star lures were hefty swimbaits, but we also caught two lings on lead jigs. None on soft plastics with lead head jigs, which is what we've had luck with in past years, so I think we will now be using soft plastic swim baits as our primary lure! Beautiful day on the water, so it was a great afternoon despite only bringing home one fish.
