Fort Ross July 9th

Went up to Fort Ross with a couple friends from the lab (Levi and Jenna) and met up with Rockhopper and his buddy Bob.  A few others showed up but I missed introducing myself when I ran the truck up the parking lot.

The morning started off nice, very little swell coming into the cove and only a slight breeze.  After an hour or so the wind picked up and we called it quits after another hour of fast drifts.  (Note to self: buy/make drift shute).

I ended up with a couple sub-legal lings, a few small blues, a nice little cabezon and a vermilion.  The later two will make a nice dinner.

Levi ended the day with two legal lings including this beast.  I think he also released several small under-lings and small blues.

Nice ling how much did that beast weigh?

Nice ling!!

Helllll ya!

wow!!! that is what i was looking for, what i found for the day was a nice stiff wind (wind swell was not bad) a guess about 6 lings 3 legal 3 short the biggest being 10# then 8# then legal. now came  the rockfish biggest being 6# red a couple coppers and a china. the red i was going to start with on the pool but the person i had take the picture did not take the picture, nice!!. well for my first time up there it was great all my fish came with a hour between 11 and 12. fished with jeff and had a great time. let me tell you i love specta and my wind sock because with out them it would of not been so good. i was getting down on only 2.5 to 3 oz

Right On... Levi!
That one looks like it could tie or beat the 20# jackpot leading ling.

Levi's lingasaur was 37" long and weighed in a pound or two shy of 20 lbs (using the bathroom scale method).  

Here's another photo of Levi and the ling on the water.  You can even see historic Fort Ross in the background.
