Pacific fish
« on: August 25, 2021, 12:19:13 PM »
We braved the waves and foggy morning this Sunday on the side of Monterey, California. Our boat went at 60 mph for two hours into the Pacific Ocean. We dropped our lines down to 250 feet to 300 feet with squid baits and caught these.






I have to figure out how to cook them now. Never had them before.

Should have cooked it on Sunday evening but the vermillion cods will still bring a nice taste to the buds.

There's something called ling cot? Not sure of the spelling. But that one is the longest of them all.

A 1K trip to take back just 14 tiny fish. :2funny: :2funny:

Lingcod, sharp narrow teeth. It will be delicious too and they can grow to a good size.

Sounds like regrets? If you hooked into a tuna or a sea bass(in season now at where you fished out of), maybe your time here may have improved?

Fish in the morning, flight by evening; make more time next time. You probably spent equivalent time going to and from locations of fishing than actual fishing time.

The only regret was I didn't plan for a longer stay.

My lead told me to go back next year between April and June for better catches and we'll be heading to the delta for stripers and sturgeons, too. I'm up for it.

Got one lingcod in my freezer now. We caught only three. The other two were way below 22 inches.

I saw dorsal fins of sharks and dolphins in the foggy ocean surface. Several sea lions, too.

April-June, you’ll be catching the same thing. Right now: king salmon, sea bass, tuna, etc. as for sturgeon, the cold months and for striper, springs and falls for peak performances in the delta.
