Lingcod
If you're targeting Lingcod near Camano Island, you're in for a treat. This area boasts some excellent rocky reefs and structures that provide ideal habitat for these ambush predators. Focus your efforts around the southwest side of the island, near Possession Sound. Lingcod season typically opens in the spring and continues through the fall, but always confirm the current regulations. Jigs and swimbaits are your best bet, fished close to the bottom. Be prepared for a fight – Lingcod are known for their aggressive strikes and bulldogging tactics. A practical tip: use a fish finder to locate promising structure and drop-offs. Camano State Park offers good access to the shoreline, but for the best Lingcod fishing, a boat is recommended. Remember to use heavy tackle, as these fish can grow quite large, and be mindful of size and depth restrictions.
