Thanks Larry,

I enjoyed your seminar at Fastlane last weekend. I think you are right about one thing. Some of us spend a to much time focusing on the trophy fish and forget about some of the great eating meat fish that are readily available. I usually C & R but I suspect that if I landed a nice ling or sheepshead, I might have to take it home for dinner.

The problem with fishing for ling or other rock fish is that you basically are sit fishing... waiting for something tasty to find you. Surface fishing is more like hunting where you are stalking your prey. The latter is more intersting but the former will probably produce more catches.

Next trip, just for fun, I will see what I can find on the bottom. I will bring a few beers just in case.

Bob
