Sounds like a mirror image of our day yesterday, no wind no waves, lake like condiitons, more bait than I have ever seen in one day, lots of lings all short beautiful day though

one of the lings was around 25" and the other ling was about 32" but yeah overall a good day but unfortunatelly none of the right kind

We all know what the right kind is, but I've got to say 2 legal lings aren't the wrong kind, especially a 32" one. True, driving from L.A. you might have higher expecatations, but a legal ling is way better than nothing. Thanks for the report.

I was out Sunday, too. It was a beautiful day, as mtnbykr2 reports. Bait everywhere. Maybe the best part of the day was outfishing Sharon for a change. I've never caught ling cod before so I wasn't sure of what I had. I thought they were green but these weren't. I wasn't sure about the regs either so I just kept the first one, a 24 incher that weighed in at 6 lbs, 14 ozs.

In about an hour and a half, I pulled up two more potential keepers and lost what would have been the biggest, assuming it was another ling. It seems they were schooling under the bait. They bit on live squid, a dead squid and a little greenie. They aren't YTs or WSBs but they still gave me a good time.

I also didn't know how good eating they are. Now I wish I had kept two. It's beautiful fish. Hopefully they'll still be out there on Wednesday.
