Homer, AK Halibut and Ling Cod trip

[619-SWIM-DOG]

Well went out yesturday out of homer with North Country Charters. Captain Eric was a one man crew and new all the good spots. Started the day bouncing 1# lead head off the bottom for lings. My first fish of the day was a 47lb ling. We worked tht spot till everyone had limited(one a person). After that it was all about the Halibut. Your allowed one halibut over 29" and one under 29". My first Halibut was was one hell of a battle. When it came up the Captain said "I need to get my gun". We got him in the boat, at the dock he was 87lbs. After everyone got a halibut over 29" he took us to another spot and we used light tackle spinners with silver 4oz irons and bounced the bottom. Had our limit in no time. What a great day on the water and a great captain. I'll be eating halibut and ling cod for along time.

I was up in Sitka and the Lings for non-residents have to be between 30"-36" or over 56". We were fishing for halibut on a spot that is good for Ling by-catch, but by the end of the day we were like "damn, it's another one of these pesky four foot lings. And I've got to reel the damn thing up 415 feet."

Luckily my uncle is a resident and we got to keep at least one. Oh and 3 of the four of us caught the one halibut we were allowed (after we had limited out on king salmon).
