Big ling off a pier? Can you say wide open??

I don't know about wide open for lings, a couple of locals were kinda surprised and said it was unusual to catch one off the pier. Although it was pretty wide open on greenlings and starfish

Cool story with it too, he was fishing frozen anchovies and got a birdsnest when casting out. He was messing around with the line trying to undo the mess when he felt something on the line. He dropped the rod and had to hand line it up! I guess all the movement he created with the line got the ling to bite on a dead bait, where I read they only eat live bait.

Have fun up there, The lings are everywhere and jumbo blacks and cabezons. Head around the head to flat rock and fish that area and you should do pretty good.

As for lings eating dead frozen bait, hear about it all the time. They dont mind it all and will eat just about anything sitting in there face.

I know where to go Palmer point flat iron wash rock 1&2 there is another like 1 miles that holds big verms. I fish Trinidad for 4 seasons straight. This is why I'm stoked. Everything is huge there. Like catching the big blacks on light tackle.
