Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Took these yahoos out for lings and things while the weather was nice. Kept 38 blacks and blues, 4 nice lings, 2 nice cabs, and 20 crabs. Let the 20 lb cab in the second picture go to spawn another day. Gonna be eating good for a few days. Didnt try for early salmon as I have no clue how to target ocean kings in March :grin:

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Right on!
Kinda makes me homesick.
Too bad that cabbie wasn't fin-cipped and you had to throw it back. :grin:
I'll be down there tomorrow or Friday for a couple days.

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
You're killing me.
This has been the winter of my discontent. I thought time was supposed to go by quicker the older you got. This winter has progressed soooooo sllooowwwwwllllly.
C'mon Spring!!!!

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Phil, it IS spring!! Been wearing shorts for 2 weeks now. Spring begins 2-25, and ends 7-04 in Oregon!
Man, what a beautiful day. Company could have been better  .
I got the bug taken care of for a few days--sure feels better.
Get out there Phil!!

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Ug woulda whacked that poor cab had I not interceded on its behalf--it's just not right to kill a fish that's likely older than I am [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]
Seriously though--big lings, cab's and salmon grouper all live to ripe old ages, and it's a pity to take the breeding stock out of the picture just for a little meat.
This was the second green cab we caught yesterday--whacked the littler one, and it cut green like a ling can. I don't believe I've ever seen that before.
What a day  !!!
Get out there while you can folks!!

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Kudos for letting that big cab go. That was a first-class thing to do. Soon you will be a new "godfather" of about 10,000 baby cab hatchlings.
(please, don't anyone say "codfather.")

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Very nice, Uglygreen. Those spring bottomfish are great fun.
A blue cabezon, never seen that before. What a monster.

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
Hey Ug - Great haul - There ain't nothing as nice as sunshine this time of year and catching a fish just makes it better.

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
I'm headed out to the 2SJ tomorrow - first trip of the season. Wish me luck, but it will be tough to top that catch!

Re: Lings and Things.... first 2004 trip.
I knew I shouldn't have shown you my fishin' holes! :smile:
Save a few for us "flatlanders", eh!
Cabezon come in all the time that are blueish-green and cut like they look.
Not uncommon at all.
Ocassionally you will even catch a kelp greenling (seatrout) that has the same color disfiguration.
Ah chicken of the sea, and you through it back.
That's Ok and as Wild Dog said, let the big spawner's go, so I can catch them. :smile:
