MAYDAY..Ling Cod Opener!

[Nelly]

Gotta love the mellow, mellow month of May!

Today was the ling cod opener and Possession was flat, calm and productive!
Sand dabs drifted along the bottom were drawing strikes and bending rods!

Kathy Nelson knows what's for dinner! It's fish & chip time!!!

Hopefully this action will keep up for a while as ling season runs through June 15th!

How do I zoom in to see that chart location? Nice Ling Ms. Nelly

We managed to scratch one 35" keeper on the opener, and let one go that was 24", and had 4 on that shook the hooks. Went back out Sunday, and did not even get a nibble.

Looks like a good one there Jeff!
We had a couple chances on Sunday then bounced over to my secret spot at DB,,,
Only to find that it wasn't so secret anymore...

This 120ft max depth has killed a couple of secret spots I used to know. I wish WDFW would allow us to fish that depth again, and require anglers to have some type of deep water release device on board. There are a lot of spots at 125ft depth that are killer.
