Wifey and I headed out to Big Blue on our favorite Charter, the Sundance with Captain R.J. We had originally booked this trip for salmon a few months ago, but they aren't here yet so we went with plan B. Go for rockfish/ling cod and if time permits come back into the bay for stripers and halibut.
The bit was oddly awesome in that lings were coming up 2:1 over rockfish. The water temp had dropped 4 degrees from the day before which put the rockfish off the bite. No complaints from me though, I like a few rockfish, but cleaning 20 of them gets old and leaves a lot of small holes in my fingers.
My wife, no matter where we go or how we fish, ALWAYS ends up with bigger/more fish it's getting to the point of uncanny. We'll see what happens in two weeks when we are fly fishing in SW Montana.
We only landed two fish when we were back in the Bay, one was this striper and the other was a nice sized (26ish") halibut I caught. It was a pretty solid trip for us coming back with four species of fish, plenty of table fare to pair with everything coming out of the garden this summer.
The group with our limit of lings.
