SWS 9/30

Long time reader fist time poster-wanted to post pics from last weeks fishing out at SWS.

Paddled round the point about a mile from Still water beach.  Have been fishing there every week for last few saturdays/sundays and have pretty much stocked the freezer with Rockfish/Ling fillets so we decided we were only keeping 25"+ lings because it was 7am on a saturday and neither of us felt like filleting smalller rockfish!  This plan has backfired on us before but seemed to work out this time.  Got 4 good sized lings, all caught on shrimp flies, three from the same hole.

Great day out there, light offshore/cross shore wind and warm sun all day, fished from 8am-1pm.  Nothing on the yaks except rods, bait and a 12 pack...  The bat in the pic is 22" long for reference.  Saw Big jim out there diving too, seemed to have a good haul.

excuse the weird stance, torn the ligaments in my ankle 3 weeks ago playing soccer, hence why I have been fishing every weekend!

Nice lings. Is SWS Stillwater cove pebble beach or The one up north.

Wait for it…...

Thanks for the report and pictures fishtales.

SWS still water south, at pebble beach.

Nice lings! and great report. I have never fished with a shrimp fly, whats the rigging like on that?

Hell yeah!!!

It was great meeting you and your buddy at the parking lot!!

Those Lings were nice and meaty too...awesome job!!

 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...once you get 10 posts you can see the members only fishing and diving reports where my report is posted, but here's the vid from that day.   

Shrimp flies are fairly easy.  Most attach the top of the shrimp fly rig to a snap swivel & tie a weight to the bottom.  Some rigs have a snap swivel at the bottom to allow you a fast way to change weight as water conditions change.

glad you remembered your NCKA handle!

Nice lings! and great report. I have never fished with a shrimp fly, whats the rigging like on that?

I often fish with a shrimpfly tied on with either a dropper loop or palamar knot (dropshot) and then rather than a weight use a swimbait or iron on the bottom.

Big Jim, great to meet you, it's also cool to get a better perspective of what the floor looks like with the video.  I've speared inside the cove but never that far out-

I actually forgot my login and handle/email, created a new one as my email has changed In the last couple years, figure fish tales makes more sense on ncka than mdowd....
