One tip is head out to the possesion ferry....don't fish ON it as you will lose gear nearly every drop. Fish all around it. When i scuba dived....dove?.....hmhave dived?.....I would drop down and drift along near it. Ling love to lay along the bottom in depressions near it and hunt. Shot many a dandy on the bottom near the main structure vs righ on it.
Goofy looking, great fighting, big ol headed stubnorn fish.....like catching but I find the meat not great. Plenty good for a fish fry but I put em back personally.
Good trip, good company. I love love having boat people on the boat. Makes it simple. Did great getting bait and had some jumbo flounder for upcoming crabbing put away. Fishing was tough. Really one man needed to run the boat to combat a goofy combo of wind and current. We foshed the grounds pretty solid and had some c&r on rockfish and had one good ling bite on whole flounder. All we ended up with was a tooth marred and mauled flounder! Really good water in the am running and easily managed chop heading in. Really enjoyed the trip and covid was barely discussed!
I for one love cabezon, though they tend to be a bit wormy when they are bigger. We picked up a couple of those ugly boys in BC last year. Look what I found in one of them! Juvenile Puget Sound King crab, about 4 inches across. [/quoThat's cool. I got one with 12 crabs in it, but none as cool as that. I've had less (none?) worms in my 14,16, and 18 pound Cabs than in almost any Lingcod....
