Lingcod
Targeting Lingcod near Anchorage offers a unique Alaskan experience. While not as abundant close to the city as in more remote areas, persistent anglers can find success in the saltwater and brackish waters of Cook Inlet. Focus your efforts around rocky structures and kelp forests, especially near the entrances to Turnagain and Knik Arms. Lingcod are ambush predators, so presentation is key. Use large jigs or swimbaits that mimic local forage fish like salmon smolt or herring. The best time to fish for Lingcod is generally from late spring through early fall, with the peak often occurring during the salmon runs. Be sure to check the regulations for closures and size limits, as they can change frequently. A helpful tip is to use a fish finder to locate promising structure and adjust your depth accordingly. The currents in Cook Inlet can be strong, so be prepared to use heavier weights to maintain contact with the bottom.
