Lingcod
Lingcod fishing around Deer Island presents a rewarding challenge for anglers willing to explore the lower Columbia River estuary and nearby coastal waters. While not as widely known as some other Oregon Lingcod hotspots, the submerged structure and rocky bottoms offer prime habitat. Spring and early summer are typically peak seasons as Lingcod move into shallower waters to spawn. Focus your efforts around rocky outcroppings and artificial reefs, paying close attention to your depth finder. Using large jigs or swimbaits that imitate local forage fish is a proven tactic. A local's secret? Try drifting live greenling or other small bottom-dwelling species if regulations allow. Be prepared for strong currents and varying visibility, and always prioritize safe boating practices in this dynamic environment. Remember to consult the latest Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits.
