second time out for lings turned out successful! launched at 6am and went right after our bait ( sand dabs)
After getting enough headed to my favorite spot and first drift! BAM! fish on!
my buddy got the skunk off the boat with a 22" that had to go back to get bigger.
After a second batch of fiesty sanddabs in the box we went back to it and found a nice ledge when my rod went down and my weight was caught.. fortunately I rigged a drop leader with 10lb test and as soon as my weight broke off, BAM! fish on!! this one took some line and it was quite a battle.. we finally boated it as I was nervous with those barbless hooks and yes! a 32" brute headed home for fish and chips!!
Good start to the season!! be safe out there!!
