Very sunny day and absolutely perfect water conditions.  I saw hundreds of dolphins migrating north, which was a first for me.  I caught my limits on rockfish and lings.  I've attached a picture of my biggest ling, which ended up having a 6-8" mackerel inside of its belly.

That's super cool. Thanks for the report.
Always on the prowl in my PA14, except for most days. Then I have to settle for dreaming.

I actually caught that ling in the picture above using a P-Line Laser Minnow.
