On the original post note, I'm going to take the girl out in my 14' cruise ship this weekend and try to snag (by the mouth of course) a 35.5" ling. Two of them actually. Hopefully my motor runs and it doesn't sink.
Too bad D-Rock doesn't have a working boat yet or a boat driving license. :hello:

Do you guys realize the apparent love-fest you have for each other on here. Of all of your thousands of posts, I'm pretty sure 85% of them are redneck love notes back and forth to each other.

Was thinking 40lb (10lb mono equivalent) power pro since everyone Is saying its the go-to braid tied with a double uni 20lb mono end.
That way I know Ill be able to hold a good 200+ yards of it.

That is perfect. I don't use mono at the end.....straight braid.The monos just incase he runs under something, I need to break off. That way I only lose a tiny bit of mono instead of X amount of braid. Were heading to the store now to pick some stuff up. :tup:

Nothing......little movement e quals easy bottom fishing
That's funny, I actually do better on the lings when the water is moving a bit more. Seems the harder the fishing, the better I do.
I'll be sneaking out at 5:30 tomorrow on a neighbor's boat to the south end of Lopez for shrimp and maybe some lings. And, I'll still get a fiull day's work in.

First trip in the salt with the boat complete. No blood on the decks, but Saturday was a good trip out of Edmonds.
Does anybody have a better launch alternative? $45 just to get the boat in the water is a bit steep...
hawksfan75 - the Mukilteo should open up any time now,but its $15 now and the ramp sucks ..... Your other alternative is Everett with 10 mile rundown to Posession and I think is $8 or &10 to launch.....
To add...
I launched at Mukilteo Saturday. Launch fee was $10. Of note... the launch there is only 2 useable lanes. The docks were built with the pilings outside each dock on either side, so you can only really use the inside of each dock or you risk smashing into the piling guards that are steel and down at the water line where you can't push off them. Also, there is nothing between you and posession sound. No breakwater, no nothing. That means every wake from every boat and every wind wave comes straight into the dock, full speed, and usually right into your transom, tossing your boat around pretty heavily at times. This can lead to a lot of hitting the dock, swamping lower transoms, etc.....
At Edmonds, yes the sling is expensive, and watch their hours of operation! If you wanna pull your boat and they are closed, it's not fun at all to figure out how to get boat and truck/trailer to the next useable ramp!
Everett is the cheapest launch at $8, and by far the nicest, but it is also the most used. On a given weekend, with good weather and a good season open, the lines can be pretty long pretty early! Personally, Everett is my local launch of choice, I just try to plan around the crowds or be patient.

Wow you got some great pics SG! Looks like the rock fish numbers are growing in strength. Maybe, just maybe they will open it again someday for retention. Even with a 1 or 2 fish limit it would be nice. Dare to dream! Right now I'm waiting for June 1 when I can catch and sturgeon in the local waters.
Thank you! Oh man that's all I've been hoping for, even ONE would have been awesome to keep.. considering you can keep 10(!!) off the main shores. I pulled up a pretty hefty black rock fish and it looked delicious ;) haha.

They may open it again. We used to have a good population but then the draggers came in force and really put a hurting on the local fish. It's been a bunch of years since and it seems the population is rebounding finally. Hopefully they don't come back and do it again.

Well after my dads health issues were stable, we were able to make it out this last weekend. We were able to boat 5 keeper lingcod, 2 were small and one over sized. Smallest keeper was in at 29" and the biggest slid right under the slot limit at 35 1/2" (my fish). My buddy fought and threw back a pig that measured out at 43". My 5 yr was able to reel in his first legal fish :). My three yr old reeled in his first flounder :). Had a couple long line releases (lost fish), a couple felt huge. We also caught a few copper rock fish, which the eagles feasted on. It was a great trip!! My boys saw seals, dolphins and jelly fish. Had one fish get chomped at the tail by a seal. I will post up a few pictures in the next day or so. We didn't see any other fish caught. But sure got crowded when we hooked up :). Can't wait to make it back over! Thanks Pop.
Why are the eagles feasting on your coppers? This is part of the problem and why they have stopped allowing us to keep rockfish in the Sound. Please try to release them so they live. There are lots of methods to do so, the upside down milk crate seems to be one of the easiest.

The problem with that idea is that the draggers have been out of the Sound for, I think, at least 25 years. They did huge amounts of damage and their trails can still be seen on the bottom today. Now, I think a huge part of the problem are the seals, i know that "they" say the seals don't eat many, but why then are the seals in all of the places where I catch rockfish?
I'd be fine with even an 80 foot restriction for fishing for our one keeper rockfish if they are so worried about the canaries and yellow eye.

I have never caught a rockfish and would want it to survive if i hooked one. What do you do to releas rockfish with the milk crate, weight the bottom of it and drop it down? :dunno:

If you're serious about going, meet me down at Scuttlebutt's at 8am. Severe tides that day, so bring some 4oz to 8oz cannonball sinkers and your favorite rod. I got everything else (got an extra ling rod too, if you don't). We should be able to catch our bait before the tide slacks and have a decent chance at getting into some lings for a few hours around 10 to 1pm. Probably be all done by 2, which is just in time to harass H20 into taking us to the range... right H20??

I'm catching my first Ling and sturgeon in the same day :IBCOOL:Oh. I see i am remiss in allowing our expectations to have gotten a bit higher than they should be. Im usually the master at setting low expectations - that way nobody is really disappointed. You, my boss, the ladies...
So let's plan on calling the day a success when we catch our dabs for bait. Even if we dont get you a ling, we can make up a flounder bomb and go "help out" H20 and Ripper where they're not fishing for sturg.

It will be a little lumpy out there on the drift, but we'll tough that out to tangle with the toothy ones. I know that anchoring up for sturg in the wind can be tricky, though, especially when the flood tide and wind are running against each other. Gonna give it a shot, though!

Relax scouting :bash:. I'm putting you guys on the marathon hike right from the start. We are dropping all the way to the bottom and coming out the other side. It will take most of the day.
Hey now, I believe H20 will have to have smore's break in there some where.

I'v been spoiled with a gate key...hike? Give me a few extra Aleve, the promise of a cold beer later on with a s'more chaser and I'm good to go. I may be a little slower than the little guys but I'll get there.

You guys have no idea how to scout. I'll show you.
1) Find an open area
2) Bring your half rack
3) Sit at open area and consume half rack :tup:
4) Take a nap
5) Come back to campfire, tell stories of huge herds of animals and probably a moose or grizz sighting
6) Eat, Sleep, Wakeup and Repeat
You'll see, I'm great at scouting.

We might want to get started a little bit earlier if you're willing- I got a tip from a MOST EXCELLENT sturgeon fisher that the outgoing tide might be when want to plunk bait for them... I like fishing ling on the flood, so it is a "win-win... win". I'm going out Friday night to catch the dabs, so we don't need to dink around with that on Saturday unless you really want to.

If I knew elk steaks where being handed out I would have kicked H20 to the curb and brought you D-Rock! Maybe he will bring some bear...

Here is the first ling I caught two weekends ago. 35 feet of water, not far offshore at Westport. Too bad I didn't buy a derby ticket. 36 lbs.. :(
What charterboat were you on?
Got another good pic of D's ling I'll post up here soon, and there might be some video of the catch floating around as well...
Post by: Goldeneye on June 09, 2013, 01:59:51 PM
I'd tell you but Ripper swore me to secrecy location. It is a honey hole indeed.....very secret river......in the north end.....nowhere near a point accesible by kayak....not in snohomish county.....does not end in "guamish"......
Well, How'd you do? We've all heard about D-Rock and his Ling domination. Did you catch any of those prehistoric bottom feeders up on the river or just get a boat ride?

lol Ultimate seasickness right there. I wouldn't trust that on the ocean unless It had some extreme counter-weights on the bottom to help stabilize it. I did watch him fish that on TV though and he did a hell of a job. You see the one where they fish deep water in just wetsuits, fins, and a pole? Floating on they're back with a pole hooked to theyre stomach and in the air. CrazzySure would love to get my a ling.

Today I caught a blue ling. I can't post pics, I am sitting on my dads boat with my boys in the marina.
What is it that they eat that makes their skin and meat blue.
Btw we had cheeks for dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious!!
Hopefully we can put another limit on the boat tomorrow for the last day. Great way to spent my Father's Day weekend!! Hanging with my sons and my dad :)
