Lingcod
Everett, Washington, provides access to some excellent Lingcod fishing grounds in the Puget Sound. These ambush predators thrive in the rocky reefs and underwater structures scattered throughout the area. While Lingcod can be caught year-round, the most productive time is generally during the spring months when they are spawning. Focus your efforts around areas like Possession Sound and the eastern side of Whidbey Island. Jigs and swimbaits are effective lures, but many anglers also use live bait. Be prepared for strong currents and varying depths. A local tip is to use a fish finder to locate submerged rock piles and drop-offs, which are prime Lingcod habitat. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding size limits and seasonal closures to ensure sustainable fishing practices. Lingcod in this area are known to grow to impressive sizes, so be sure to bring appropriate gear.
