Report!: hookup sonoma/marin coast 10/2/15

It was a great day at Fort Ross.  Thanks Rlb123 and ThreemoneyJ for hooking up!  We launched to pretty calm seas with clear skies.  Fort Ross is nice launch if you can handle the Hike to the parking lot!  All three of us caught fish.  For myself all three (two Lings 25" & 28" and a 5lb Verm)were caught on different lures and ones that I had not had success with before.   They were going for the big hammer on 4 oz jig head and silver diamond jigs.   Of course a little live bait helped too!  My larger Ling, flipped when I got him to the boat and the hook came out.  Fortunately he laid on the surface for a moment and I had the wherewithall to throw my rod in the water and scoop my net under the fish!  Whew!  I had already lost two hitch-hikers.

 Thanks ThreemoneyJ for the tips on using the swimbait!

i'm down for the next time you guys head out but I can't really go on weekdays. I want to expand my fishing experience up and down the coast.
nice catch!

Nice catch. Congrats

Great day out there today! Looking forward to doing it again sometime.

Looks like you had a nice  day at the fort,
 glad u got into the fish!

Nice Verm.  Thanks for the report and pictures reelmccoy.

It was great to meet up with you two! I had a great time. I ended the day with 3 lings (23, 25, 26"), a nice verm, a canary, a gopher, a juvenile boccacio??? (maybe, I really have no clue what it was), and a mighty 4" sanddab. Pictured below are my fish taco victims .

I typically go out on the weekends. I'll be sure to post a hookup the next time I go out.
