4/4 Santa Barbara lings and whitefish

[mrjonez]

morning was a little rough, and the bite was non-existent. but as the day went on the sea laid down a bit and we took a run to a spot the capt was excited to fish.

first drop at the spot. about 250 ft deep. 29 inches

lot's of lings were lost due to the fish wraping us in structure. you could feel them hit and run. then clay got 2 out of the mess. largest was 41in.

the current was running super strong, and dropping on the spot was getting impossible, so the capt decided to move us to a shallow water spot. right away we get into a wfo whitefish bite.
