Arrive at Everett launch around 6am put in, square away gear. Hit the head.
Leave dock, head towards 9, stop and work on catching flounder and sand dabs for bait. I use light action rods with little jigs tipped with squid or something.
For lings i like jigs, swim baits, flat fish, whole squid etc.
I have rods for all purposes.
Low tide is time to get to the serious work so i plan to hit my spot hard from 9am to 11am. After that I'll be heading back.
I'm currently running an 18ft RHBoats center console.
If you are interested here is what I expect and ask....
Have some gear, rods, lures etc. Glad to share but not a guided trip here...
Be on time.
Have a valid license.
I have an extra self inlation type pfd, you will wear it at all times on the boat.
Be dressed to manage the boat ride.
Don't ask if you can bring anyone else. This is a two person trip
Be available via text the morning of in case of plan changes due to weather.
Byof....snacks or food is on you.
No covid talk. Seriously, you will swim home.
Pm with questions and lets kill a few ling or maybe a cabbie!

I doubt it would be allowed. No shenanigans on that boat.

Not yet camo....hoping for a one and done. Not a fan of cabs myself either.
Looking forward to hearing how you guys do. Now planning to run on Sunday as the wind around the corner looks a little better.
Maybe I need to try the live bait thing?

One tip is head out to the possesion ferry....don't fish ON it as you will lose gear nearly every drop. Fish all around it. When i scuba dived....dove?.....hmhave dived?.....I would drop down and drift along near it. Ling love to lay along the bottom in depressions near it and hunt. Shot many a dandy on the bottom near the main structure vs righ on it.
Appreciate the tip. I purposely avoided that as I assumed it was over fished? Shows what I know.

Goofy looking, great fighting, big ol headed stubnorn fish.....like catching but I find the meat not great. Plenty good for a fish fry but I put em back personally.
Good, leave them out there for me!
I caught two yesterday. A big ling would have been great, but I was more than happy withing bringing a Cabezon home.

Good trip, good company. I love love having boat people on the boat. Makes it simple. Did great getting bait and had some jumbo flounder for upcoming crabbing put away. Fishing was tough. Really one man needed to run the boat to combat a goofy combo of wind and current. We foshed the grounds pretty solid and had some c&r on rockfish and had one good ling bite on whole flounder. All we ended up with was a tooth marred and mauled flounder! Really good water in the am running and easily managed chop heading in. Really enjoyed the trip and covid was barely discussed!
I find I have to "back troll" frequently in the areas I fish as the currents mostly seem to run opposite to the wind. I love my extended transom for this.

I for one love cabezon, though they tend to be a bit wormy when they are bigger. We picked up a couple of those ugly boys in BC last year. Look what I found in one of them! Juvenile Puget Sound King crab, about 4 inches across.

That's cool. I got one with 12 crabs in it, but none as cool as that. I've had less (none?) worms in my 14,16, and 18 pound Cabs than in almost any Lingcod....

Interesting tidbit.
With lings, the ones with white meat are fish eaters. The ones with blue/green tint to the meat are crustacean eaters! Cabs are mostly crustacean eaters so they almost always have the blue/green meat.
