Ling this weekend?

Did anyone have any luck with Ling Cod this weekend? I was unable to go due to an overbooked schedule. Hope someone hooked one of these big uglies! :P

"Ugly" is being nice - try "Fugly" .. :shock:

They may be fugly, but they taste real good! :P

Those guys I worked with up on Whidbey Island, would bring fresh Ling Cod in a couple times a week during the season and fry it up in peanut oil. Best fish and chips you could imagine.

... hhhmmm good

fresh Ling Cod / fry it up in peanut oil / best fish and chips you could imagine

SS,
I love fish and chips ? Is there a good place there to get some - fresh ?
I have never had it fried in peanut oil .. http://www.geocities.com/roomnl/IBNW/eat_a.gif

I love F&C, and I have 3 favorite places in London we get them when we
are there each year. When in Bath, England, I had F&C 7 nights in a row ..

Now the British Health Authority says that "Chippies", that is the authentic
Fish and Chip Shops, can no longer serve F&C in the traditional manner ....
that has always been wrapped in newspaper with vinegar and salt .. :(

Haven't been out for lingcod yet. Read there were 200-300 boats out opening day at Possession Pt. Glad to see they're coming back. Used to fill the boat with them and rockfish around Rosario Strait back in the 60's.

I went out for opening day at Possesion. I must have missed the crowd getting there at around 11:30. The best time for the tide was real early until about 10. I could not make it for dawn patrol because I had kids with me for a day of fishin! Lots of fun to see them get excited with a fish on the line.
