PG Ling Verm

PG yesterday ended up being fairly decent. Caught a keeper ling, while I was reeling it up the other pole has a 2 1/2 lb. verm. hooking up. Exciting ten-fifteen minutes. I caught the ling drifting a small yellowtail rockcod with a purple squid skirt on the nose. Ling coughed up two baby octopus. Used 50 lb. braid with 36" 17 lb. leader on 3-way swivel halibut rig, bouncing 4 oz. weight. Other fish were caught with same rig only frozen 4-5" sardines and hard plugs were used

Nice catch there! Thanks for the report.

True that!

Nice catch calbear!

Nice ling calbear! That's where I bagged my 1st yak-ling...good times.

But yeah, if you catch a rockfish/ling/cab while fishing 2 rods....it must be released. Thems the rules.

Nice catch
Was that the Coral St. launch?

Very nice haul...some sweet looking water also...thx for the pics and report!!!

Coral St. high tide, swell wasn't as bad as I had expected it would be. Heavy swell has kept me away from there lately. Thanks for that reminder about two rods and rock fish. I'm aware of the reg, I hadn't caught anything yet except the yellowtail. The thing is though, regardless of my use of it, that is a rock fish, it was so small and I had it categorized in my head as live bait.

All good. Just making sure none of the homies get popped for some BS reg.
Because the truth is---if a warden saw you catch a rockfish while reeling in a lingcod...you'd have to release both fish. Or get cited and fish confiscated.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. I always thought you could fish two rods with a 2 rod stamp and once you've retained a rock fish then you could only use one rod. Fisherman usually remark, when the subject comes up in the course of casual bullshitting, "Once you got a rock cod in your boat you can only use one line, you know or you can get a ticket." I appreciate the clarity, thanks
