Fort Ross 4/7/2022 Report

Arrived at FR around 7:15 AM got into the water around 8:15 AM.  The ocean was very calm and had no wind.  Met several non-NCKA members and recommend NCKA.
My wife caught most of the fish including her PB 33" ling and I kept my spot as a deckhand.
Lingcod was not fighting hard and was easily able to reel in.  I am not sure if it is a seasonal thing or?

WTG! Looks like a beautiful day! 👍😁🎣

Sorry I missed it. I spent much of my day in Occidental at the tow yard/car repair place.

Hi Joe, I will let you know my next trip to FR.

Nice Lingcod.   Thanks for the report Paul.

Nice one Paul!
Conditions look great.
Glad you caught some too!

You’re lucky to have wife that likes fishing and going out on the ocean. Nice fish!

Yes, I am.  We have a great time together.
I think she likes fishing more than I do.

We never really bumped into each other on the water, but I did get to see that Ling while loading up, beautiful catch.

I got a late start, but was fortunate to find biting fish fairly quickly once getting on the water. I worked through a half dozen lings and kept two to help replenish my diminished supply at home. One was a real pretty 26” blue model. Bait (frozen herring) was the ticket for me, but I did get a few good takedowns and a verm on the Gulp! Large curly tail Mullet.

Found willing fish in 70 FOW out to 130. I was not fishing any notable structure or bottom features, just kept moving and lingered in areas I got the takedowns/hookups.

Hope to see you out there again Paul.
Cheers
