Where light reaches bottom, flakes WORK
I believe you
I just thought it was funny how you guys were saying you prefer your worm to have a different color flake. In my opinion lingcod really could care less.
Where light doesn't reach bottom, vibe + smell + Glow (color) works. All depends on the situation. Nice work on opener again ll, I gotta post a keeper by friday for sure!! bounce
yep
thanks, good luck out their:cheers:

ended up snagging it waste of a dollar :( o wells i left when i got nasty might hit it tomorrow i believe it was Jose telling bout root beer haha i gotta stock up on some of that get myself a linger :D
I saw Jose down at the end of the dock....He wasn't doing to good, Just one bite and no fish up until the time I left. I passed the wheelchair guy when he was coming up the dock as I was walking out. I think I'll wait for the salmon to start before I get to serious down there. I might rig up for some of those little perch. They reminded me of fishing off the bridge at Ouyhut near Ocean Shores for Anchovies. They are great fried in butter! Hope to see you down there, Steve
Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.

long.
funny, we never did measure it. For some reason it never crossed my mind to check. Funny... I guess just knowing it was BIG was good enough for me.

Nice video Mike and Aaron. I really enjoyed it, however my wife still says I'm not fishing this sunday.
I can't think of anything better than a lingcod trip for mothers day
I like it when I can call it Catching!

You have no idea Swede... there was a lot more going on than meets the eye.. it was either sit down and catch the fish, or turn around and head back to the hospital...

The weekend in review:
A beautiful morning at the rocks.... not too many fish though:
Decent sized copper:
Even better! (pushing 6#):
Double!
Fishon!......
AND its a pig!
End of the weekend:
Great weekend, tons of action and a HUGE pod of Orcas completely surrounded us today, porpoising 10-20 feet from the boat at times, WILD! Fun stuff, enjoy.
Tight lines all.

I was laughin my ass off when i saw you had censored the background. Nice catch. I'm impressed you catch lings that deep in the Islands. I'm a 25-90' kinda guy. Guess i'll have to explore some new tactics. Thus, what this web site is all about, the sharing of info and tecniques. Thanks for the info and reports liteline.

All of our fish came from 70' - 150' on rootbeer colored swimbaits. Mostly small fish around lummi rocks, got a few real nice ones at Peapod and also down near the south end of Lummi offshore on a steep bank we stumbled upon.....

Dang...Nice fish boys! I'm sittin hear cryin'. Only two days out, and nothing to speak of. Flippin work and weather, not working in my favor this year. Still plenty of time though...
I might have to not check this thread for a week or so, until I can get on some keepers. Painful.....
good work again....looks like some people are eatin fresh ling...
I have caught many fish in my life. The most exciting? The next one.....
