Lingcod
If you're heading to Lincoln City, Oregon with Lingcod on your mind, you're in for a treat. The nearshore waters off the coast here provide excellent habitat, especially around the many rocky reefs and submerged structures. Success hinges on understanding the Lingcod's seasonal forage patterns. Spring and early summer are prime times as baitfish become more abundant. Focus on areas with strong currents, as these attract both baitfish and the Lingcod that prey on them. A key tip is to pay close attention to your depth finder. Lingcod often hang near the bottom, but will move higher in the water column to strike. Natural presentations like swimbaits and jigs that mimic local forage fish work well. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and sizes to find what they're keying on. The Siletz Bay offers some brackish water opportunities, but the best Lingcod fishing is found in the open ocean.
