Lingcod
Targeting Lingcod off the coast of Seaside, Oregon, offers a thrilling bottom-fishing adventure. The rocky reefs and structures just offshore provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Lingcod fishing is generally productive year-round, but the late spring and summer months (May-September) often see calmer seas and better weather, making boat trips more enjoyable. Focus your efforts on areas with significant structure, using jigs, swimbaits, or live bait presented near the bottom. Pay attention to your depth finder and look for sudden changes in depth or rocky outcroppings where Lingcod are likely to be lurking. A particularly good access point is the Garibaldi boat basin, a short drive north of Seaside, offering easy access to productive fishing grounds. Lingcod in this area are known for their robust size and aggressive nature, so be prepared for a strong fight. Be mindful of depth and current, using heavier weights as necessary to maintain contact with the bottom.
