...was pretty good and pretty bad to me Sun AM. At 730 I kicked to the outside edge of the kelp throwing swimbaits as I went. As soon as I got to the outside edge and started casting into the wind I got a 23" Lingcod (released), 5 casts later I got a 25" lingcod (released), and 2 cast after that I got a 18" bluecod (kept).
After that the wind came up and I couldn't seem to hold a position to fish, the level wind on my Abu 6500 died, and I didn't get any more fish for a while.
While I'm working on the level wind I feel the tiniest tug on the line, set the hook and hand-line up a 10" squid. I'm thinking "Live Squid I'll get something big on that" so I put him on my heavy rod(30#) and send him to the bottom. I towed him around for over an hour while I was trying to fix the level wind for ZZZZip! He final wrapped me up and do you know how hard it is to break 30# in a float tube?!!!
After that I put the baitcasters back in the car and grabbed my 10# spinning rod. With the spinning rod and a 4" Blu/silver/clear flake FT on a 1/2ov head I got 5 more cod (yellows and a Gopher). Then I started to bring up another and when it was still 6' down this 3'+ Ling comes up, grabs it and heads right back down. My rod snapped before I even thought of reacting, then I took 2 cranks on the reel and the line popped. WOW!!!!!

Tight lines,
