I caught a lingcod !!

[pinstriper]

Fishing for perch at the south end of Lincoln City, hauled in a monster lingcod. Easily 5, maybe 6". No photo, but I still count it, and I didn't get skunked !

Surf was pretty strong, I think the Siletz bar was closed because while we were there, a guy on a jetski was outside the bar, along with a powerboat. A CG helo showed up and circled while they came in, so some sort of drama.

The sand is pretty steep there, I figured this would be a good place (parked in the Mo's lot and walked out by the mouth, went a few hundred yards up the beach away from the river. This was just after high tide, but man there was a strong current that dragged everything sideways towards the river mouth.

Was this just the strong surf, or is that beach just not the right spot ?

no picture, didn't happen. LOL. that was the saying as I recall it from years ago..

sure it wasn't a little cabazon? there are lots of little versions of those buggers...

That area on an incoming tide can get pretty knarly. The wind can make it even worse.

I'm not at all sure it wasn't a cabbie. It sure did flare his wings out. But this beastie was so small it would be like counting Lincoln's whiskers on a penny to be sure.

sounds like a sculpin (in the cabbie family). Ling Cods don't have those 'wings', sorry.
