IN TEXAS

Texas’ Gulf Coast is teaming
qaite a tine r. potation for its fine
ling fi'hir.g
The ling, or cobia <which is the
proper common name for the fish',
is highl> prized both tor it fight-
ing ability and its edibility.
On some sections of the Cm If
Coast, the f\>n is known

The world record for t!

is 102 pounds But mo

around 30 to 40 pounds Some ;

the entire summer It’s interest
ing to note how they show up j
It’s always suddenly
Usually the runs take place
around the ends of piers and jet-
ties Little ling, those in the 10
to 15 pound class, arrive first
Big ones follow the “youngsters” |
by a week or two.
Early season runs actually
never last verv long Once |
schools break up, you have to I
search for the fish.
Lmg like to hang around buoys,
boats, oil rigs and floating objects.
When the coast has big invasions
of seaweed, ling fishing is great
Outboarders can score well simply
by running from one patch of
seaweed to another.
"Fish around the patches and
If there is a ling lurking in the
shadows he’ll come up to investi-

Gulf fishermen.
Actually you don’t need to
search out bag floating objects
Often there will be a ling under
so small an object as an old fruit
box. a piece of lumber or a log
The thing that makes ling fish-
ing so exciting is the fact that
Quite often you can sec the fish
coming up to hit the bait Tyro
anglers on observing the long
black torpedo shape* in the water,
usually will shout; “Shark”* Bit
nine times out of 10 those “sharks’*
turn out to be ling
Fishermen miss a lot of ling
simply because they can see the
fish moving in on the bait. They
become excited and try to set the
hook loo soon Actually they just
snatch the bait awav from the
fish
But if that should happen to
you don't worry Just let the bait
sink back into the water, for the
ling will still be around In fact,
mat hug Wlii hang around until
you catch linn or he tears up your
tackle
Best practice to follow is to give
the fiah plenty of time to get the
bait into bis mouth before setting
the hook But be ready when you
do bed hat hook
The bile of a hook in the hug’s
mouth creates the same reaction
as opening the throttle of a jet
engine The fish will take off in
a mighty run
Be sure to have plenty of line on
the reel to take care of a 60 or 70
yard run
After the initial run. the ling
will sulk. Then about the tune
you hink the battle is won. or the
fish sees vour boat, it’s off to the
races again
If the fish is a 50 or 60 pounder,
be prepared for at least an hour-
long battle.
Boats obviously hold no fears
for ling Engine noises won't
spook the fish And if you stomp
on the bottom, von won’t frighten
the fish Some commercial fi'h- i
ertnen claim that noise actually I
attracts the fish
Sometimes ling can be mighty
particular about taking a bait I’ve
seen them around party -boats
They nose hit after bait before
taking one.
Best baits are shrimp, squid and
small fish Ling will hit artificial
lures, but it usually takes a lot of
teasing To begin with you have
to work the lure slow* and in a
\ ery erratic manner
At times however the floating-
diving lures are deadly
Cast out the lure, and allow it to
remain motionless on top of the
water for 10 or 15 seconds Then
jerk and reel fist m> it will dive
three or four feet deep Stop and
allow it to wiggle back to the
surface Keep this up all the way
to the boat
Your ling strike will usually
come when the lure is slowly
wiggling back to the surface And
a go*»d many of vour strikes will
come within 15 or 20 feet of the
boat.
Ling don't have sharp enough
t«*eth to cut a leader Hut all the
same, use a wire leader for quite
often when you're fishing for ling,
you’ll get kindfixh
In addition to being an excellent
game fish, the ling is choice eat-
ing Big ling can he rut up into
ateak.v and there are many who
claim ling steaks are far superior
to the famous and expensive
awordfish steaks
If you haven't tried fishing for
ling, don't pass up a chance this
summer Just fish around the
buoys, lighthouses, oil rigs—any
floating flotsam and jetsam you
can find
And—remerber—when you see
that black torpedo near your boat,
don't mistake It for a shark. It's
more than likely a ling
