I took clients on a bottom fishing trip out of Coos Bay today and the fishing was excellent. They caught five limits in under an hour with some very nice fish; my photos don't do them justice. Then they wanted to catch some ling cod. The fishing was a bit slow, but we still caught five fish; they weren't huge, but they'll still taste good. The largest ling cod was 30 inches.
