Tim, Lings are VERY territorial. You want to find structure 50-120'. Use your sonar and look for tall underwater cliffs and rock drop offs. They are agressive as hell so most any presentation will work. Most people jig them but many are caught trolling for salmon around said structures. If jigging, lures like spinnows, buzz bombs, or swimbaits can be effective, or simply a sinker with a leader, a bigger hook, and a piece of bait does the job. Octo, squid, hering, chovy...all work.
Just find some structure and hang on!
Can't help on the pinnacle. My guess is its galiano way....sounds like a hot spot though. I was pouring over my GPS...there are a few down that way given stoisy description but I don't think that cat will be let our of the bag so easily haha.
If the morning is good we will be crossing over as well, if so I will try you on 88a. Cheers, good luck, hope it all comes together and your daughter is promptly 'hooked!'
The morning tides seem to have more action given the last week's of reports...
