With the ocean as flat as a sheet of liquid mercury, salty dogs outside the Port of Brookings Harbor also saw plenty of lingcod action between Bird Island and House Rock.

"The fishing was so good it was just plain stupid," said Captain Jim Bithell of Charthouse Sportfishing. "We got our lingcod on all of those herring I jigged at Crescent City last week."

Anglers also caught plenty of lingasaurs on twin-tail plastics as well as 5-inch plastic jerkbaits.
