Fishing in the Octopus Islands-
The rains stopped long enough for us to take Gator out to the mouth of Hole-In–The-Wall at tide change to try and hook a Ling Cod or two. Although good eating, these fish are notoriously mean and have razor sharp teeth. Since they are known for being aggressive, if not a bit cannibalistic in their feeding habits, it was not a big surprise when Chris reeled in a small cod that had taken his lure to find a much larger cod trying to swallow it whole. In the process of releasing the smaller cod, the larger cod flipped off the gaff hook before Chris could get him in the boat. That’s our “big fish that got away” story and we are sticking to it. The legal size for Ling cod is 62 CM so even though we had fun and caught a few fish. We came back to Sea Mist empty handed. Looks like hamburger for dinner tonight.
