Reports From the Bridge

 LINGS-LINGS -AND MORE LINGS

THAT’S THE WORD FROM SAN NICOLAS ISLAND THIS MORNING

Capt. Mike reported this morning great weather and the ling cod fishing is off the chart.

Most of the guys are fishing a live mackerel on a dropper loop rig and it’s a instant bite (the bigger the mackerel the bigger the ling)

Mike reported that the yellowtail did not bite in the afternoon yesterday at the cortez like they had been and he felt that if they had gotten there earlier they would have done better but they had tried the tanner bank first thing in the morning for just 1 yellow and lots of bottom grabbers.

They arrived at the 9 fathom spot  on the cortez arround 10:30 am and the fish where biting when they got there.

they managed to land 7 out of several hookups. Between the losses in the rocks and the seals Mike said they went through about 30 hookups to land  just 7 fish. By the time every one got rigged with heavy gear to handle the bruiser size fish the current went slack and the fish  had stopped biting. A word to the wise if you come on one of these trips this month have a 50 or 60lb. rig to fish the yellows.

Remember we still have two more 2 1/2 day trips and one 2 day trip this month departing from Long Beach marina  sportfishing. All trips are over the weekend check out our web site or call the BIG GAME 90 OFFICE @ 858 270-7525
