Long skinny weight with a swivel at either end. We call 'em boat weights but I have no idea if that's the real name.

Wow, sounds like a great day. You guys are lucky to have women in your lives to get fishing on Mothers Day.

Check the regs first for your area you're going to.
Find a area with some good rocky bottom and cross your fingers

Generally deeper than many species of rockfish ,Yelloweye are found mostly at 80/90 and deeper - rocky reef areas with lots of hiding places ...and crevices. I prefer slow drifting with bait but if no bait , jigs and keeping just off bottom to cut down on snagging bottom - Scuba diving enabled me to learn alot more about rockfish and Ling habitat just by observing them in person. As said by another post -watch closed areas and date closures. Also this is not a catch and release fishery unless you are good with a rockfish release device ( due to air bladder preventing them from swiming back down to bottom on their own)
If you want to keep rockfish in an open area -keep first one or your limit and I'd recommend no releasing over and over looking for a better one..... and then move on after you have your catch --unless as I say you have a release device and can release them at the bottom.
Here is a photo from last weekend fishing solo - Ling was shallower spot / Yellow eye, over 100'

Gonna be fishing gabriola area for the long weekend. If the salmon fishing's good then I'd would like to target some bottom fish. Thanks for the advice.
