How much does the tide effect it?
Any tips on where to load up on sand dab for live bait?
Any pointers on what area to start?
I have the map from John's sporting goods but that's a large area.
Any help would be appreciated. I've gone out about 10 times for lingers and have yet to catch a keeper.

The sunken ferry is marked by a bouy. Fish around it, especially to the northwest a hundred or two yards. Watch your finder.....there are fields of rock that may only be a few feet tall but loaded with fish. Scathed head is a crescent shaped lip. Fish the lip. You will see everyone anchored up over it. I like to fish it on the very small outgoing tide. Motor up to and past the lip, drift over it, repeat.

Soooooo....my tips help?
For sure. I appreciate it.
This fish was far too big to keep, but I reached my goal of catching a big ling this year.

Regarding dabs, most flatish areas 60-90 feet will have them. Get 3 oz or so, a #2 hook and a chunk of squid. Better yet, get a few kids and you will have more than you know what to do with.
