Fishing Report: Garibaldi Jun 19th and 21st

Went down to Garibaldi Thursday night, did not plan on fishing Friday as the forecast was not good. Luckily the forecast was wrong, and I went to Three Arches with Captain Jim in his 19’ Arima. We got a late start, were not planning on fishing, but each managed to get a nice ling cod and a sea bass. Saturday was a wash out, rain, wind, no fishing, so went to Tillamook Sporting Goods and spent some of my allowance:)

Saturday evening my friend Todd came down and we headed out early Sunday morning, about 5:30 a.m. I got 2 ling cod and Todd got a limit, 5, of sea bass, then the bite died. We moved around a little bit, but no success. About 11:00 a.m. I said the heck with it, let’s go bang some lead of the bottom deep. We went out to about 200’ and using 24 oz Norweigan Cod Jigs, we managed 2 more nice ling cod and a quillback, before calling it a day. The wind had picked up more, it was rough all day, and the trip back to the Jaws was “bumpy” to say the least. After filleting and vaccum packing time to head back to PDX and prepare for the next weekend of fishing. Todd lost most of his lead jigs, and found his tackle box much easier to carry at the end of the day, that’s one way to make things easier? LOL.
