Capitola 6-21-12

In the end, I almost headded for the closest reef for a quick chance at a ling.  But couldn't bare the thought of gut hooking a bunch of small rockfish with my whole squid's, so I just drifted some more for butts.   

Nice try Al! Let's do it again tomorrow?

Some days it's just fishing  , but looks like a great one.

Curious, I often fish for lings/rf with whole squid and have only had one gut hook ever. I wonder what we do differently?

Way to get out there Al. Bro, I will never forget my first time fishing Capitola with you. I caught my PB halibut there remember? Love the video you took of me while fighting my fish.

I'm using a trap rig with a large treble at the bottom in freespool.  Somehow whenever I do that and catch lings they get hooked way too deep and are a pain to release.

I use two single 5/0 with the trailing hook buried pretty deep in the squid head, maybe that makes the difference ...

Nice try Broski, thanks for the report.  Better than what I've been doing lately (scraping popcorn off ceilings)!  see ya around dude!
