Aaron and I arrived in the afternoon at Snow Creek and got the boat on to the water with high hopes of catching limits of lings and bottom fish. Unfortunately, the fish did not get the message. It was a classic case of "you shoulda been here this morning"... . We did manage a few sub-legal lings for entertainment and a big octopus for something completely different. Jigged various lead stuff and plastic tails in 40-90 ft. About 6pm we finally found a small school of black sea bass in the kelp beds and caught a half dozen before coming in. Caught with light gear spinning rods , small jigs, yellow split tail plastics. But our next days fishing - that's a different story - be sure to check out the Duncan Rocks report!
