This would be our last weekend camping at Russian Gulch before our move to Cleone.
 
We had a 2 PM meeting with the current property owner and decided to start fishing early.  Able to fish from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM, we arrived at our first spot and my wife's first drop. She got 23" vermillion, and a monster ling was chasing it.  I put her fish on a string and dropped my swimbait, and I got the ling and it was 33.5".  We got three more vermillions ranging from 20"-23".

 The second day was similar. We caught our limit of vermillion, one small ling, and several rockfish. We had to release two vermillions as they kept biting.  I was surprised at how active vermillions were for both days.

Nice report!
My wife and I were heading back to Albion from FB last Friday.  We stopped by RG to take a look. It looks like a nice  place to launch.

In the game of biggest fish, if you can't enjoy routinely gettin' your ass handed to you, by great fishermen, then you don't belong in the NCKA.
