Opening day for lingcod went out with Deep Sea Charters with guide Rhett on the boat the slammer. The weather was nice but the fishing for lings was slow. Black rockfish and blue rockfish were hitting like crazy must've caught about 20 myself and the whole boat caught there limits shortly in about 45 minutes. I also caught 2 lingcod but both were undersized so they were released. I actually caught the most on the boat but 2 keepers were caught. Definitely slow, but still came home with tons of rockfish fillets and it was enjoyable. If others have more luck please tell me I want to go next year but maybe with later in the season and maybe with another skipper.
