Dang
The only way I've fished for Ling is at night through the ice jiggin', and set lines.  WA state record came out of Palmer Lake, Okanogan Co.

different ling...that would be a burbot. people call 'em freshwater lings.
these fish are all from the salt.

Well i havent been out for a couple of weeks.  But my buddies emailed me these pics that were from yesterday.



Ended up keeping the nice ling and cabezon.

You gus are making my mouth water, Lingcod is my favorite with Halibut a close second.

[Jerome]

Mine too.  I am not too much for salmon.  Dont get me wrong i will still eat em but its just not the same as a ling.  Next season i will try to get a few of you eastsiders out.

[jackelope]

you could take a few of us wetsiders out too    

i'll just follow with my boat (and GPS)

[Jerome]

Well lings closed up on the 15th but i will be out in area 9 tomorrow for some cabezon.  I will be out there alot in July after the opener in area 9 for hatchery kings.  If we dont meet up, pm me before you go and i can point you in some direction.  And if you are lucky Jackelope i will send you toward a couple of these monster lings.   

[jackelope]

i'm hoping that area 9 king fishery is a good one. should be...blackmouth was great so i expect to be out there. hopefully the seals will leave us alone this time...what kind of boat will you be in??
i'll let you know when we head out.

[Jerome]

Jackelope we hooked four kings going for cabezon today.  3 out of the 4 were hatchery.  I cant wait to beable to start keeping them.
