Lingcod
If you're after Lingcod around Goodnews Bay, you'll find them lurking amongst the rocky reefs and kelp forests that dot the coastline. This area offers relatively accessible Lingcod fishing compared to more remote Alaskan locations. The prime time to target Lingcod is typically from May through September, with the largest fish often caught during the early part of the season. These predators are ambush hunters, so focus your efforts around structure. Jigs, swimbaits, and live bait are all effective. When fishing near Goodnews Bay, be mindful of the tides. Lingcod often become more active during tide changes. A local trick is to use scent attractants on your lures to entice strikes in the often murky waters. Also, be aware that Lingcod have sharp teeth and spines, so handle them with care. Check the ADF&G regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
