4-21-14 LJ Ding Dong Ling
Short report: Weather- kinda sucked. Gloomy, windy, and very choppy beyond the point. Water- 60-61, clear. South-southwest current, a bit strong but fishable. Bait- Mini-macks, iron and squid Full report: Hit the shores with my friend and his new PA in hopes of finding some big game fish. Unloaded my kayak and realized I forgot my mirage drive... Sucks but I wasn't gonna call it a day just because of that, so I drove back to Carlsbad while my buddy made bait till I got back. We saw some bird activity but they appeared to be liars. No marks or bites. Went over some great structure and rock fish marks in 180-230ft. When life gives you rock fish, fish for rock fish. Current, swell, and wind was getting nasty but we were able to pick up a few. I was hoping for a ling and have been trying to get a respectable one out of la jolla for over a year. So I dropped a mac down while my friend pulled up rock fish with frozen squid. Eventually I got tired of no hits and wanted to pull in some more fish so I grabbed the biggest squid I had and sent it down. Almost immediately I got slammed and the thing pulled drag... could it be Felt like I was reeling up a bucket and then I saw a mouth lol. The ling was 30'' and weighed a little over 8lbs. PB ling for LJ -pictures on the water didnt turn out good :/ This one doesn't do it justice but oh well. Coughed up a big octopus. I tried using it for bait during a few drops later Dinner: My friend and I harvested one of the large spanish mackerel for sushi, never tried but figured why not. It was awesome! The spread: mixed rock fish and ling I call this the Trifecta: Ling, barber pole, and vermillion- in one taco Last edited by Zfish03; 04-22-2014 at 07:17 PM. |
