Lingcod
Bay City, Oregon, provides a fantastic jumping-off point for targeting Lingcod in the Pacific. This area is unique because of the confluence of the Tillamook Bay estuary with the open ocean, creating diverse habitats that Lingcod thrive in. Focus your efforts around rocky reefs and submerged structures near the mouth of the bay and along the coastline. Spring and early summer are prime times to fish as Lingcod are closer to shore spawning. Water temperature and current play a major role; slower currents and slightly warmer waters tend to concentrate baitfish, and in turn, Lingcod. Try using large swimbaits or jigs that mimic local forage like herring or squid. A practical tip: the Garibaldi boat basin offers excellent access to Tillamook Bay and the ocean. Be mindful of bar conditions when heading out to the ocean and always check tide charts, as currents can be strong. Keep an eye on your depth finder and adjust your presentation to stay near the bottom where Lingcod ambush their prey.
