Big rockfish, big lings, fast action (April 22, 2016)

Although we've been having to run further up the coast to find the best fishing, customers aboard the Miss Brooke, Brookings Fishing Charters' new 29-foot offshore boat, have been enjoying wide open fishing for lunker-size rockfish and lingcod, with quick limits on most days.
The action had been good close to the Port of Brookings, but early last week we had to move around a lot to find fish. So I've been running to some spots beyond where most spot boats fish out of Brookings, and we've been rewarded with an excellent grade of snapper and lings.
Rough weather returned to the Oregon Coast this weekend, but it looks like we will have some decent ocean conditions next week.
Our Ladies and Lings tournament begins May 1.

Here are a few photos from the past week.

Glenn with a nice lingcod from this week. Fish was a hitchhiker that hit a large rockfish as it was being reeled in.

Cole with the big lingcod from yesterday with the group from the Middle Rogue Steelheaders.

Another really nice ling.

Two nice green lingcod within minutes of each other.
