Title: westport bass and Ling
Post by: buckhorn2 on May 08, 2015, 06:51:27 PM: Went out on the slammer today and the ocean was beautiful. Twenty one people caught 210 bass and 44 ling cod by 1 oclock. One guy caught a ling that weighed 35 pounds 14oz to take over the derby lead the ling were caught on green label herring. They downgraded sundays forcast a little bit so hope to get out for halibut sunday.

Can't do much better than to go out with Rhett.

He still have Don for a deckhand? And the gal- can't remember her name? Fun, but more than a little salty.

I want to go again seems like we missed the ling bite by a week or two.

I don't think it was the bite, more of the boat cap. He seemed like he didn't want to search for lings too long. Slammer has always been my #1 go-to boat. Theyre committed. Were about 1/2 way done with our fish anyways. About time to book another trip.

Post by: buckhorn2 on May 11, 2015, 09:02:01 AM: Went out yesterday and took my boat it was a little bouncy but we caught 2 halibut one a nice 40 pounder and the other about 15 but still nice. It took us a while to get on a good spot but the other boats did better still fun fishing.

Post by: C-Money on May 11, 2015, 09:08:50 AM: Sure is fun. Went on the 6th with Chuck on the Freedom. He zeroed in on lings first which was a great plan. Once the boat limited on lings we finished up the rock fish. Cant wait to go again.

I fished with Chuck on saturday. We did good, a little slow to start but then we found em. Came up 6 shy of a limit for lings for the boat. Here's the biggest

We got every mother's day. It's usually a good time for lings and we have gotten some nice weather the last couple years. Chris works hard, best deckhand i've been around

Post by: Capt. Rob on May 12, 2015, 10:05:16 PM: Landed 18 lings and over 50 sea bass on Friday. My dad and a friend plus myself. Kept six lings in the upper teens and 30 beautiful rockfish. Oh ya, and a very shallow canary.
