~ Lingcod season opened West of the Sekiu river\/ Area 4 this week and the guys from “Team Ling Hammer<\/em> ” assembled for a couple days of camping and fishing on the West end. Most of the accommodations at Sekiu are still closed with the halibut opener yet a couple weeks away but Chris from Van Ripers Resort<\/strong> was gracious enough to let\u00a0our team\u00a0set our headquarters up\u00a0in their great waterfront campground. Wind and weather cooperated enough to get out most of the day Monday and then again Tuesday morning and the\u00a0fish did not disappoint. Many\u00a0lingcod were caught and released during both days with the kept fish averaging 30″ and up . Cabezon, seabass and rockfish showed as well. Kasey took honors of the trip pot with three\u00a0lingcod all over 30lbs and the biggest ling topping out at\u00a040 lbs. Big Hammer<\/em> swimbaits fished on 65# braid and shock leaders in 40-60 feet of water was the top bait– plus Braid<\/em> thumper squid, live greenling and a variety of Chris Englehart custom lures took fish as well. It was a great Sekui opener and we’re all very excited for the prospects of\u00a0 the local lingcod and halibut openings in the rest of the Strait\/ Sound that first week of May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
