11/21/11 LJ Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Chuck D · 11-22-2011, 08:15 AM

Interesting day on the water for me. It was an amazing day, launched at about 9am small surf, blue skies, no wind. Got out looking for bait and wasted a lot of time looking for the infamous squirt found a lot of egg sacks instead. Got a couple fin baits and used those. The wind picked up current too. Decided to drop down a dead sardine at about 110ft just for a last ditch effort. Glad I did because this nice looking Ling decided to feast on my chovie. Got her up and in and started my pedal back. Right around the NW corned my pedal conked out and had to paddle from there. No worries amazing day none the least! For some reason they put caution tape up at the launch, no entry, not sure why. So, anyone got some good Ling Cod Recipes, let me know

14#/31''
By the way here is my first pro video of the catch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzfh2j5OO-w

Nice ling!! I can't help but to want to grill
it whole. Prep by lathering it up with olive
oil, salt/pepper. Baste with lemon/olive oil.

And, don't forget to eat the head first!!

Eyeballs are good! I love how they POP in your mouth. Chewy and good!

Chuck D · 11-22-2011, 05:52 PM

Thanks guys, I save the eyeballs for desert. Otherwise fish fry it is, thanks all! The filets look fantastic!

GregAndrew · 11-22-2011, 05:54 PM

Well done, nice video. You might get better footage if you point your camera at a more downward angle. I am forever having to remind myself of that when I miss the yak-side shots the trip before.

kobra · 11-22-2011, 07:17 PM

Great job on your first vid. Very nice ling. Congrats.

lterrero · 11-22-2011, 08:54 PM

Nice Ling Chuck, never catch one, but with all those recipe you can bring it here

sharonkayak · 11-22-2011, 09:03 PM

Nice work! yummy eats.

I would be stoked with that catch!!!

Better than my day of getting rear ended by an uninsured tard from san ysidro...

kurtman · 11-22-2011, 09:20 PM

Nice Fish Chuck, As I mentioned in my South Bird Post Lingcome are one of the best tasting find in our local waters. I just did the basic olive oil sautee and it was fabulous. Enjoy and I am glad you got a taste of something otehr than Yellowtail. Maybe, I will have a beter chance in this year's Yellowtail Derby if you are distracted with memories of great tasting Lingcod.

Take Care Kurt

jorluivil · 11-23-2011, 03:05 AM

Lingalicious!!!!

Those things are so much fun to catch and they taste really good. If you ever catch a sand dab/flounder and you're in lingcod territory send it down, put reel in gear, wait and hold on.
