First ling of the year... or not....
« on: May 01, 2012, 01:51:58 PM »
Man the wind sucked today!  I also discovered I have few to no places to fish for lings with a cranking west wind and an incoming tide....  So, I decided to take the tide out of the picture, after two hours of not a single bite, and fish a rockpile out in the open.  This way, I ponly had to really deal with the wind, still sucking though, but shifting to the south.  Tried to drift a bunch of times, even going in and out of gear, not so easy to do by myself. No luck.  Broke off a lure and while drifting away from "my" rockpile, I looked at the bottom graph and I'm marking a whole string of rocks.  Finished tying on the lure, dropped down and bang, fish on.  Rockfish.   :(  After a bunch more drifts, I released a bunch of rockfish.  At least they were fish.  Lost two bigger fish, figured they were lings from the different fight.  Finally landed a keeper, an 8 1/2 pound Cabezon.   :tup:  Still tried for a ling, but a short itme later, another Cabezon, this time 15 1/2 pounds.   :drool:

So, no lings but two nice Cabs! Here's the bigger one.

Int Expl. is blocking my Browsing for the photo, have to post later.

Not disappearing, can't post to begin with.  When I click on Browse to look for my photo it says Internet Explorer blocked a pop-up from my Computer's name.   :dunno: what's up with that?  I've never had this problem before.   :bash:

Ed, setup an account with Photoshack to host your pictures, it's free and works much better than uploading individual pics to websites.

...and install Firefox or Chrome or something...lol
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Maybe, if they made a plastic one, had some for dinner already.    :chuckle:
