My loadout is for strictly lingcod fishing, I've wasted my money on stuff that doesn't work so this is what I've narrowed it down to confidence wise over the years.
I've fished many of the different jigs, slow pitch, flat falls, etc and all the random looking lingcod lures out there like octopuses, creatures, squids, sand dabs, etc. End of the day hard to beat the consistency and versatility of a swimbait.

Swimbait or jigs only for me. And the 4 that works for me are the xmas color, root beer color with red belly, and Mackerel if there’s any bait in the water. If they’re spawning in October you can throw a table spoon there and they’ll hit it.

yup those are my favorite, there usually isn't enough time for the boat to get a lingcod limit, which means you can fish for as many lingcod as you can

@michaelrussell9857 2 жыл бұрын

Help me understand what size jig heads to use for swim baits. If im fishing 200 plus feet in the bay what do you suggest? should I use 8 ounce or 14.5? I like the cool bait underspin but not following why you use the 8 oz with large swells. Do you like fishing off the back of the boat. Im trying to understand what depth do you use the lighter D&M custom jigs? Is that when you are in the bay fishing 100 foot or less?

@bjzfishing 2 жыл бұрын

Use the lightest weight you can get away with. I fish open charter boats mainly, so too light of a weight and you will tangle everyone else. Depth doesn't matter as much. 6oz is my go to. The slower the fall in the final 15feet, the more lingcod bites you will get

@tydengr 3 жыл бұрын

tell me how to avoid lure hook into the rock when you fish at the reef with all the rocks. Does cast and reel better catching fish than jig up and down?

@bjzfishing 3 жыл бұрын

You just gotta constantly check your jig to make sure it is not sitting on the bottom. Thats how you get snagged in the rocks most of the time. For swimbaits, cast out as far as you can in the direction the boat is drifting to give the jig time to reach bottom.

100lb swivel to 60lb leader, to a spro prime snap for quick change. The larger swivels reduce line twist under heavier loads like 12 oz jigs

If fishing 300-350 foot depth, what weight head would you recommend?

@bjzfishing 2 жыл бұрын

16oz +, at that depth you are better off trap rigging 24oz+ if you are on a party boat, otherwise your chances of tangling everyone else with 300ft+ of line out is really high

Used to, but swimbaits outperform. However slow-pitch jigs I've done really well on in recent years, tend to catch bigger lings (mackeral color)

@bjzfishing 2 жыл бұрын

@@w1ll339 yea usually a 5-6inch swimbait will work fine on 6oz heads, like a 6.5" ig hammer. It depends how deep you go and how packed the charters are. I think HMB boats generally don't go that deep, and if it's under 150ft I stay with 4-6oz heads. If you want to know how to fish swimbaits for lings here is an example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp-cf7Wfu73DmKM.html&ab_channel=bjzfishing I don't have any recommendations for slowpitch jigs as I am still experimenting with this myself the last few years.
