Monster Lingcod - and we aren't talking burbot
« on: November 19, 2018, 09:17:16 PM »


Monster Lingcod Fishing in a Small Fishing Craft with glow jigs tipped with Salmon belly.  These fish are some of my favorite to pursue as they will hold on structure and if you drop your jig in the right spot it won't take long at all for one of these massive fish to grab on.  They put up an excellent battle often pulling drag without much difficulty.  Best of all these fish are excellent eating and one of the top notch fish to eat in the ocean.  So once the battle is done you have one fine dining experience to put in the cooler.   Check out this quick limit for my uncle and I out on the ocean.  Tried to hand the second one off to my uncle but he said after watching me work the first one he'd pass.  I guess all the more workout for me.

Allright.

You have your fish. Buy a sack of rice, a block of firecrackers, and your set up for Chinese New Year.

Thanks for the pix.

If you're in the right spot you can even catch lingcod from shore.  Use bigger baits than you would expect and you'll catch bigger fish than expected.  We've hooked 20 pound lings with in casting distance from rocks sometimes.
