Lingcod
Looking for a battle with Lingcod? Coos Bay is a great place to start. The nearshore reefs and rocky outcroppings just outside the bay teem with these ambush predators. Focus your efforts on areas with strong currents and structure. Lingcod fishing is best from spring through fall, when the weather is more predictable and the fish are actively feeding. Jigs and swimbaits are effective, but many locals swear by live bait when available. Be mindful of the regulations regarding depth restrictions and allowed gear. A local tip: the area around Cape Arago is known for holding large Lingcod, but be aware of potentially rough seas. Several charter services operate out of Charleston, providing access to these productive fishing grounds. Expect hard fights and be ready for a tasty reward!
