South Sound Ling

First Ling of the year from the yak. 

Nice looking lingcod congratulations ... Now where the hell is the AOTY style hog trough picture... Hummmm!!!

I will work on my photography skills.  It was the first time out in the Sound this year so I wasn't fully prepared.  Next time. 

I have never fished Ling in the sound before.  I was thinking about going out in the narrows tomorrow.  I really am not sure of technique or location but need to find another way to get my fix if salmon is staying closed... Any advice would be appreciated.

Something like this.  Probably going to need 6-8 oz to get down to the bottom. Tide gets moving through there.

Hi NewGuy!  Not too bad on the tide exchange tomorrow (http://www.dairiki.org/tides/daily.php/tac/2016-05-15).  I like that site because he gives a nice graph of the local current stations as well as tides.  Here's the chart for the Narrows tomorrow

Have you tried http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/washington/tacoma-narrows-bridge ? This site is pretty cool. 

If anyone is interested I'd love some company!

What model Jackson is that? I have the Big Tuna aka my aircraft carrier. I may have asked but suffer from CRS

Cuda 12.

No, that's sure a lot of info. Nice statistics on the tidal echanges and nicely presented.  I am still working out transport for the new Propel 13 sitting in the garage plus other commitments, so unlikely that I can get out.

I have a propel 13 as well.  Hit me up when your ready and we'll go out.

Ignore that post. I dropped my phone and fat fingered a reply as I tried to catch it 😜

That's a solid fish for the south sound! My personal best came from the south sound as well, but she was way over slot and went back

Thanks.  I am looking forward to the next trip out. 

Thanks for sharing the site for the tidal conditions. Also great catch, congrats!
