I'm going to be at Fogarty tomorrow in the 6-630 time frame

will have salmon gear to give it a go, but probably going to be mostly bottom fishing

May be there a bit earlier and will troll out to 200' ish based on Clayman's input to see if I can find some salmon and if I can't find the break head back to the reef for some ling tries and then closer to shore for some rockfish.

Good day on the ocean. Started off at 6:30 heading for salmon. Started trolling around 70' heading for 200'. Hooked and landed a nice hatchery coho at 160' (lucky me). Replaced my Brad's CP that was torn up, with a spinner. Kept heading out and had two drive bys 5 min later in 170'. Like a dummy, instead of running a few laps, I continued to 210' past the temp change and got nuthin'.  Trolled back to the reef for lings and at 170 hooked and landed 3 native coho. Two small and one very nice 10#ish. Arghh! Don't leave fish to find fish.

Got to the reef. Very little current. Dropped a herring and the second it hit bottom hooked into a big ling.  Once I finally got it to the surface, turns out a 12-14" greenling had grabbed the herring and a big ling had grabbed the greenling. Once in the net the ling spit out the Greenling. Bonk! Stuck the hook in the greenling's head and back down he went. Instantly hooked another big ling. Same drill. Spit it out in the net. Hooked and released two more big lings on the one greenling before snagging the rig off. FUN.  3 Rockfish on the way back in.

My 2 PB Lings but unable to break the 40" barrier. 39" and 38" both just a hair under 20#

Totally worth taking a day off.

Way to shoot the jaws Roger, and damn fine fish Bob!

Kinda odd to see such a good lingzilla bite in August, but I won't complain. I hooked into what felt like a giant on Saturday. Fought it for several minutes before the hook pulled. It felt waaay bigger than the 41 incher I landed that day. Mid to high 40 incher maybe?
