Monterey Bay 5-3-14

Andy pretty much always launches CG or San Carlos Beach - wish I could go, but not likely.

might join, need to christen my new PA just outfitted but torn between the salmon bite out of Moss, (non kayak)

Scott it would be awesome to fish with you!!! I usually always launch from the coastguard pier but if your gonna make it I can make an exception...

I think MBK launch is better! At least we can wash everything down at MBK when you get back in. Just MHO!

Made it to Carmel in the slop on 0503 in da boat.  Couldn't keep the lings off,  musta boated 25 in first 2 hours.  Kept biggest 10 for limits for the five of us, my father, brother, a friend and my 8 year old son.  Almost all of em were keepers, only caught about 7 cod.  Tried to repeatedly look for different areas to fish for rock cod, kept hooking more lings. Probably hooked another 15 lings.   Finished the day with @ 40 rock cod in the box.
Biggest ling went 28 pds.  Was my fathers pb at 28 pds and 20 pds.  My son was upset he lost the bet for biggest fish but made it up for winning for most lings, he caught 9.  i was proud of him. 
Never seen ling fishing that good. 

Thanks for the reports and pictures guys.

wow ...nailed em....those are nice fish!!!
