Started off with a quick bait stop for sand dabs (wide open), then another quick stop on the rockfish. (Wide open) then a drift on the ling cod (wide open). We finished off impressively quick (by 1030am)

Put an island trip on to do Bucket list for the season. It won’t disappoint you.

Final count

50 ling cod (25 limits) to 26 pounds dine by 1030am
