Best bet for Monday??

Not sure its worth the drive [500 mile round trip/ for 1/2 dozen ling and some bananas and horn dogs... Any ideas? It seems inshore tog are slowing down, and I have been thinking perhaps there aren't enough big ling and cod in the mudhole for the inshore bottom boats to make the drive worth the effort... I just am not seeing the steady good reports, I am worried about the weather,and am a bit leary of driving 5 hours each way to load up on pout.. Anyone care to talk me into it?.. I'm pretty easy, and I do have the day off... If you guys were 250 miles from the shore, would you try inshore/short range bottom fishing this time of year? bob
