2009 Ling Cod Season

[Rollin with Rolland]

15 days.....

Making some "Larry Dahlberg" style bottom fishing spinnerbait rigs....heavy leadhead, bicycle spoke, "epoxy in a spoon" for a blade, stinger 8inches off, and a nice juicy 10 dab= My victory over the masses and the transfer of the KING LING 2009 :batman:

What kinda contraption is that???:scratch: Any pic's? I hope they are cheap to make cause I'm sure I would lose ten of them. Interesting......

Hey chris, if you make it up this way, I can throw out a few spots for you...kayak or otherwise. 15 days....where are you fishin?? My calender says 22 days.

P.S. 37 (and remember it was technically a tie), but one must not live in the past, today is a new day, and May 1st a new season!!

Making some "Larry Dahlberg" style bottom fishing spinnerbait rigs....heavy leadhead, bicycle spoke,

you've inspired me to create my own...
I just made this out of stuff in my garage last knight and its by no means perfect. I don't like to spend a long time on creating bottomfishing lures because I know from experience you can lose the lure you spent an hour on in less than a minute.also lingcod are not all that picky. I'm hoping that it is the correct weight because if its too heavy I'll have to retreive it too fast in order to keep off bottom but if too light it will not sink fast enough and will not hold bottom on a steady retrieve.

supplies
1. 3oz leadhead
2. 8in grub
3. bike spoke
4. swivel and split ring
5. large spinner blade

You guys rule! As a rookie to puget sound fishing out of Everett, I have searched and searched for anyone to give some advice on where and how to fish this area. I know fishermen like to keep their secret spots/techniques near and dear to their hearts so it makes it that much more for for us newbies to be able to join the team.
Thanks again!!

Less than 14 and a half days! areas 5-12 is open on may 1st for lingers, rockwishes, and cabezies

Fishingboy,
Any hints are where I might catch my first one? I launch out of Everett in a 21ft cuddy bayliner. I caught my first ever fish out of puget sound last year (my buddy said it was called a rat fish). When I pulled it in, other boaters passing us by yelled for me to use it as ling bait. Didn't make sense to me cause this thing was pretty damn close to being a foot long. But, I tried. No luck.

I'm thinking about trying halibut for the first time as well this year. I think it opens next week in Everett. Just not sure where to start ya know? No matter what, a day of being on the water and not catching a thing but a buzz is better than a day on land anytime!

Normally I only fish once a year in Astoria for Sturgeon and now I'm hearing that it's possible to catch one out by priest point. Hmmm, maybe I'll actually spend some time out on the sound doing more than crabbing this year.

Any tips of course is always appriciated.

Munity bay, a short run around Possession will have a few chicken size butts for a few with talent but for every 250 tubs 1-4 fish fact!:-$

Mid channel bank a tougher run will have some butts for pirates a few will be toads!:-$
