What's prehistoric, red all over and goes "ba-a-a-a-a-a"?

Got my last day of Rockfish in on Tuesday. Mid-day lazy launch to near-zero wind and grease conditions. Straight up t-shirt weather on the water with the snow-capped mountains in the background was rad. Started pecking around my normal stops and one of my go-to holes was en fuego. Started the day with a good sized Starry.

Proceeded to pull two solid Sheepies after this, sorry no OTW pics. I then got that quick thud to my bait followed by no movement. Could it be :)? Put slight pessure on it and felt some good weight. Made sure the hook was set and the battle ensued. Several runs and a good 4 to 5 minutes later, I land my personal best Ling! Taped out at 35" at home, no weight sorry.

That fish was a STUD. Worked me good. Dropped back down for another Sheepie...and then ANOTHER Ling! Not quite as large but still taped out at 27". There was a school of what I was sure were Reds buzzing in and out of the spot I was working. These guys in Newport are notorious for moving quickly. The first few times I ran over them I couldn't drop down quick enough. The next time however, I was already down.

Solid Red, taped out at a hair over 20". Finished the day with a nice Treefish and headed in. Nice 3 hour session.

Great Pics! That's the way to do it! Waaaay to put the 'Blitz' on the rockfeesh!:you_rock::drool5::drool5::drool5:

Very well done! :luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello:

Wow, you kicked but on them without catching a butt. Just as nice though. I'm kicking myself for not taking a trip to Morro Bay with a friend because of the weather and not going out today because I got talked out of it. Oh well, next spring I'll be out there.

Great Fish! I went out of Newport on Wednesday. Managed a nice sheephead even though I didn't have a fish finder.

Wow very nice Blitz!

Nice QUALITY...:cheers1:
That Ling on the top of the pile looks like he still wants a piece of somebody...LOL

That's a nice haul! Great report too!

Man you really found all the tasty critters. Good work!

Way to close out the rock fish season....
