Lingcod Reports

With lingcod opening this last Friday, I thought that we might do a little run down on what we heard over the weekend.

Here in Puget Sound we heard less that fantastic reports for most of the anglers that we talked with. Not only did they not find good numbers of legal ling cod, generally we heard that they didn't find that many at all. There were a few legal fish taken off the rock pile area of Sachet Head and off the wreck just west of the Possession buoy. The fishing was not that much better in the Double Bluff area either.

We had better reports out of the the Saun Juans where we had good reports coming out of the Iceberg Point area of Lopez Island and up north in the Cone Islands areas. Anglers that stayed closer to home found a few fish in Deception Pass and off of Burroughs and Allen Island areas south of Anacortes.

Those that fished the rocky areas of the offshore banks did quite well on the lings over the weekend. Generally they had good numbers of sub legal lings but most managed to bring their fish home.
