June 18. Excellent ling cod fishing.

We ran down to Cannon Beach early today and fished 150 FOW around 5 miles south of the lighthouse.

The ling cod bite was unreal.

Lots of doubles and triples.

We probably landed 60 in 2 hours and could have landed 100 if we did not move to get away from them.

The bottom fishing was slow plus there are a lot of no no fish that you have to throw back right now, so we only ended with 12 or so bottom fish.

I have been told that bottom fishing is a little slow due to the big balls of krill we were seeing on the sonar.

The ride home was like driving through a 15 knot car wash, but not too bumpy.
