Of course Lingcod season is over, in the Sound anyways. I ended the season with twelve legal lings kept.
But, there is still fishing going on, Cabezon and Greenling are still open.
Went to town today for a lumber run, no wind and slow current made me think a couple of drifts might be good on the way home. I switched to a smaller jig and moved in closer to the kelp hoping to get into something. Well, I landed one small Copper Rock, tag number 084, on my first drift and got a nice 22" Cabezon on my third, then headed home.
I don't think deep fried fresh Cabezon can be beat for eating, yum!
