Fished the san juans this weekend, salmon fishing was dead slow. didnt hook or see any hooked. so brat bonker and i decided to go for some bottom fish, boy that was fun. brat bonker probably hooked over 15 rockfish, and i only hooked about 8. but after he kicked my butt i decided to go find some ling. after fishing this point for 5 minutes my rod bent and my reel started screaming. after 15-20 minutes ( took a while to land since i was fishing light tackle) i managed to land a very nice 20-25 pound ling cod. unfortunately i had to release him. over all we had a pretty good weekend.
now it is time to gear up for coho at edmonds! hope to see some of you guys on the water
