Post by: Dmanmastertracker on August 15, 2009, 10:29:20 PM: Ling Cod. Average Sablefish is 5-6 lbs and darker, caudal fins are different, much narrower and overall darker in color than a ling.

Post by: Shannon on August 16, 2009, 09:38:12 PM: We go with a guide. I have taken a boat up there but found it the same price as using a guide and a whole lot easier on us. The ferry ride, moorage, gear for the trip, gas, boat stuff purchases before the trip all add up to close to using a guide. Here is our first day of fishing. The guide is the best I have fished with. His name is Bobby Kimoto of Bobby Kimoto Charters. Tell him I recommended him if anyone calls him.
