New Brighton 5/20/12

I planned to be on the water by 8am, but got a late start and then after driving for 15 minutes realized that I'd forgotten some necessary items (like wheels). So, I ended up launching after 9am. By that time, there were several kayaks out there, a couple of canoes and at least one inflatable too. Anyways, all I caught was one undersized ling, but it was my first one, so that was exciting. As far as I could tell, nobody was catching much---all I saw other people land were a couple of puny rockfish and one borderline-legal-sized ling. I left about 11:30am, since I had to meet the wife for lunch, but the wind was picking up and fishing was slow, so I didn't mind (well, not _too_ much...).

Nice, looks only maybe 3 inches too short.  MoodyMike and me were supposed to hookup Sunday at Cap.  I was land locked by Bay to Breakers and homebound w/ a nasty cold..sounds a wee bit slow and Capitola had it's own race going as well...hopefully this Sunday it all falls into place!

I had a short day of it as well. I was hanging out around spongebob making drifts on structure. Pretty slow for me too, only a short long and off the water by 11:30
Still better than work though.

WTG on your first ling. I'm new to it, too. Hope to see you OTW

Nice looking Ling go got there.  Thanks for the report and picture Jeremy.

Thanks for the report, any day on the water outta be better than not.
