Lingcod
Point Roberts is a fantastic location to target Lingcod, offering access to productive rocky reefs and underwater structures where these ambush predators thrive. The best time to fish for Lingcod here is typically during the spring and early summer months, before the water warms up too much. Jigging with heavy lures or using live bait are effective techniques. Focus your efforts around rocky pinnacles, ledges, and drop-offs where Lingcod are likely to be hiding. A local tip: use a fish finder to locate promising structure and bait schools. Also, be aware of the strong currents in the area, which can make it challenging to hold your position. Always check the regulations regarding size limits and seasonal closures before fishing for Lingcod, and practice responsible fishing by releasing smaller individuals to help maintain the fishery.
