Van Damme - 6/11

My first time kayaking in Mendocino and had an easy launch from Van Damme. We didn’t have any luck in the cove, but hooked onto a couple fish in the kelp columns on the North side of the cove. I caught a black and yellow and my  son landed his first lingcod. 25” and I was sure he was snagged until he pulled him free and started bringing in line. Great campfire fish tacos!

Fun wandering over yonders
Thnx for the report and pics

Looks fun... he had a blast...

Looks like a great trip!  Hopefully he’s hooked 👍

That's totally awesome!  WTG, dad.   

 That boy is a fish slayer in the making!

Finally! Thanks for the pics. It was great to meet you. And glad you got a keeper! How did you cook/grill it?

Nice to meet you as well. We pan fried the fish in butter and seasonings. We made fish tacos with all the fixings. An amazing meal! My buddy isn’t a big fan of fish, but he had 4 or 5 tacos.

Awesome!
I should try tacos.
My wife makes them at home, but with beef.
