The chase for the elusive ling was back on this last weekend with a visit to pacific playgrounds with the family. We put in 2 1/2 days searching for a nice sized keeper and struck out... We did have a ton of action and on Sunday morning alone we boated over 15 lings but not one was of size. We had a shot at a monster (looked like around 15 pounds) but as I pulled its head up out of the water while my wife went for the net it shook the barbless hook!

Oh well what a great weekend to be on the water it was calm the whole time we were out.
 
Trick with ling's is they always open their mouths when the break the surface. If you have the net below them before you break the surface, you'll have them every time.
 
Any-one know what happened to the "Tales fron the Tyee Pool" thread went?
I can`t find anything from Dave of any up to-date results.

In other news I have a old college friend of mine from Alberta up for a quick trip out tomorrow. Weather looks good and just wondering where to go? Would love to find some coho to play with (for them) if they are still around? Green Can/Fransico? Head up the straight to Browns? Over to Cortes? Jig some bottom fish somewhere?
Some recent info would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
 
Got out today at shelter point area. I was marking some fish on the bottom and around 100 feet. Didn't mark much bait. I got 4 lings all realesed, one spring just under and realesed. I had one good hit that popped the clip and didn't stick. There were six others out. Any members? How'd you do?
 
Happy Holidays Folks,

Given that some will be out winter fishing I am just bumping a link to this diet sampling program thread to a couple of the fishing reports threads. A number of forum members have already expressed some interest. If you are interested in participating, please PM me your email address and I will send some more info. We are interested in participants from anywhere in Southern BC.

Tight lines

Will
