Lingcod
Targeting Lingcod near Long Beach presents a rewarding challenge for anglers seeking a bottom-dwelling predator. The rocky reefs and structures just offshore provide prime habitat for these ambush predators. Lingcod season generally opens in the spring and summer, offering calmer weather and better fishing conditions. Focus your efforts around areas like Toke Point or near the Columbia River jetties, where structure is abundant. Jigs and large swimbaits worked near the bottom are highly effective. Be prepared for a strong fight when you hook one! A local tip: use a fish finder to locate promising structure and concentrations of baitfish. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size limits and depth restrictions, as these can change frequently. The Lingcod in this area are known for their impressive size, so be sure to bring heavy tackle.
