Great work out there. It looked like you guys had a blast. Sounded a bit windy out there. I didn't see the olive rockfish though. 👍

Hi! I’m staying on a property on Waldron Island soon and will be doing some rock fishing. I’m wanting to get some metal jigs and jig heads. Is 3-4 ounces usually the way to go for metal jigs and jig heads with soft plastics? Thanks for your input!
@ThePiscatorian360Ай бұрын
Well, it all depends on the depth and currents on a particular day. Kelp greenling and cabezon are the only fish you can keep right now. Typically, you will find them in shallower water. Sometimes, I will use 1 oz wilson darts for the greenling in close. I think 3 to 5 oz is good for most applications. I will sometimes use heavier heads in May to try to get down faster in current for lings. All depends on what's going on. Have fun, tight lines!

Good to hear. I will mix it up and incorporate more longer videos in the future. No you know we put in at deception pass state park boat ramp and it wasn't terrible. Id say about 2/3 of the lot was full. I tried on a shrimp openera few years back and won't do that ever again. There was way to many folks.

@djmilhaus another option though a little more spendy is launch on the hoist at skyline marina. I think anacortes has one too but haven't used theirs.

Do you have to use a weighted decender to put the rockfish back?
@ThePiscatorian3603 ай бұрын
You need to have one with you on the boat. You only need to use it when the fish has barotrauma. Their air bladder inflates from preassure and the fish can't swim down. You will see the fish kind of swells and the bladder looks like a Ballon coming out of their mouth. We were fishing shallow and didn't reel them in fast, so we didn't have any that suffered pressure issues. On this trip. Great question, by the way!

What kind of bait or lure did you use to catch the ling cod? Thanks

No bait, we used plastics on 3-4oz jigheads. 6 inch scampi, fisherman's gold grub, swimshad. Colors used peral white, rootbeer, sparkle red.
