Fished the south end of Hat Island during the evening low tide. Tried a few different spots. Wife ended up getting caught on the bottom and when I went to reel my line up I got a hit. Ended up being a 30 inch lingcod and only just over 9 pounds. 6 or 7 other boats out there also but didn't see anyone reaching for the net. Wind was very light when we got there but started picking up as the day went on. Ended up leaving shortly after getting the one lingcod since the waves were starting to pick up. Good opening day though.

I was first going to try to use live bait, but ended up getting on the water later then I would of liked. Fished for bait for 45 mins. or so and nothing, so I switched to a lead head jig (8 oz) with a white glow in the dark rubber tail. Went to 50 to 60 ft of water and I just kept looking for structure on the bottom and hitting thoughs spots. Good luck out there. It look like this coming Friday and Saturday will be decent weather again.
