The lingcod is a popular fish
from California to Alaska. It can
be found along the inshore
waters and way out in
offshore waters as well. It is definitely one of the uglier-
looking saltwater fish, but it provides anglers with some fun
action and a fine meal. It can grow as large as 75 pounds,
but most fish are caught in the 5 to 25 pound range.
Catching Lingcod
Anglers will anchor and drift for lingcod. Lingcod are found
along the bottom so heavy sinkers are a must. Stiff action
rods set up with herring and chunks of other fish is the
most productive method for catching these fish. If you’re
looking to use artificial baits, try using jigs close to the
bottom. Many fishermen catch rockfish while fishing for
lingcod. Both species of fish have firm, white meat that
tastes delicious.
