Nice catch, I'm still working on catching both Vermillion and Ling Cod from my kayak, just gotta find them...

Good job on the Ling

I was out today and had to drive away from a couple of spots just filled with small Reds.
So sad we're going to be set at two in possession for the rest of the year soon.

I guess it's not easy finding fish for a DFW count survey in this big Pacific Ocean LOL

You do realize the current limit on reds is four fish...

Two fishermen = 4 Reds each

and a chunky Flag rockfish too

Thanks for the jealous reminder

I miss the good old days when 15 fish of any species was the limit. This was a nice limit taken at Cherry Banks back in 1979.

With Reds going to 2 fish and Sheeps going to 2 fish it has definitely become 'recreational' fishing these days as you can't even get enough for a decent set of tacos for the family
