hunting in puget sound

[cmburch]

Cabezon is one of our best tasting fish in Northern California. I do not take Cabezon or Lingcod during mating season or when guarding eggs. Areas have been overfished due to our higher population in California and localized fishing. There was a cove nicknamed Lingcod Cove. A couple of Lingcod tournaments each Spring and the name reverted back to original.

Discusses mating season for California and Washington.

I use the shortest Mares Sten called a Snubnose with rotating spearpoint.

cmburch, I also have the mares snub, It is a great gun, cabezon is like lobster if you boil in 7up, take a little at a time and you will no how long to boil for for your desired taste.

lings are on eggs now, maybe cabe's also, I just never see them on there eggs.



Happy Diving

when i was stationed at ft. lewis we'd go out hunting almost every weekend
Lots of ling everywhere, especially where shallow water areas would be surrounded by deep.
Used a band gun in open areas and pnuematic gun around rocks (tacoma narrows).
