Lingcod
If you're targeting Lingcod around Kenai, Alaska, you're in for a treat. These ambush predators thrive in the rocky nearshore waters and around offshore structure in the Cook Inlet. The key is understanding their seasonal movements and forage. Early spring, as the water warms, they move shallower to spawn. Focus your efforts on rocky reefs and kelp beds. Natural presentations like jigs tipped with herring or cod work well. Be prepared to adjust your depth based on water temperature and current. A local tip: the waters off the Kenai River mouth can be productive, but be mindful of the strong currents. Also, check the ADF&G regulations for lingcod as they can change frequently to ensure sustainable fishing.
