We started out looking in some shallower water again for lingcod and had very tough fishing for about an hour until we made a move out to deep water where we were lucky enough to find some hungry ones that bit very well

we did manage a few drifts where we put on numerous fish and some very good size ones as well. One of our lingcod came in at 21lbs on the scale, a very impressive fish.

Our first few drifts were amazing, we pulled up doubles and singles of reds, coppers and lots of other assorted rockfish. The weather today was beautiful and we had very little current to deal with which made for a very pleasant day of fishing.

Then we slid down the coast anchored up at one of the kelp beds and caught lots of calico bass, most were short and a few legals.

We worked our way into various depths throughout the day but figured out the best was in the deeps so we continued working that zone and ended up putting together an awesome day.

Throughout the day we experienced steady scratch fishing for the most part on mixed rockfish with the majority of what went in the bags being reds and browns with an assortment of other Rockfish as well

Our morning started off well with good quality Reds off each spot with a couple of them rattling our lines the second they reached the bottom

Headed out to or local shallow water 1/2 day zone. We had some fairly strong current this morning and found that there were a few spots willing to give us some nice reds.

We had another lull period today again and decided to head down the island towards the deep water and after trying a few spots found some more Lingcod as well as productive Rockfishing. Nice day of fishing for us and a fun group on board.

Just a little inside information- the Stardust has a very light load for tomorrow's 1/2 day trip with only 10 people signed up at the moment. And it is a go. Might be a good day to get in some fishing with not a big crowd
