Charter: TigerFish Sportsfishing out of Fish Emeryville Charters
Some basic knowledge for fishing for lingcod using swimbaits. When I first started targeting lings there was none of this info available. Just people talking about gear and baits, but never how to actually fish the swimbaits. Hopefully these basic tips help you get started swim-baiting for lingcod.
This was my 2nd trip for 2021. I’m usually only fishing for lings come September – December.
Fucking crushed it!
Thank you for this video. You’re the only that discusses the technique!!! 💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
How deep was the water you were fishing?
How many lings did you catch? Is there a 2 fish limit?
So if you don't get bit on the initial drop do you just twitch your rod a bit? Or do you just give your reel a few cranks and then drop it back down?
Trying to get better at using swim baits do you have any tips on how to move the swim bait once it hits bottom?
I appreciate your final printed comment at the end of the video to always tip your dick hand. Those guys are working before we arrive in the morning. They work all day for us. They are working when we leave at the end of the day!
You jacked the Lings. Where do you get your swimbaits ?
You should do a rod and reel review for rockfish
Hey boss i see u have a shimano tekota i have a tekota 600 and ive used it 3 times and drag slips like no tomorrow on fish half the size of those lings u catch yours does not look like it slips at all did u get it modified too the carbon fiber drags?
Damn you went beast mode on those lings, nice work!
Where is this? California ling cod limit is 2-3 per person. Am I missing something
Learned a lot of things that day, it was really fun. I will practice using swimbait to catch halibut from the pier these weeks.
What type of rod? Specs?
I must agree with Peter’s comments below……You provide step-by-step instructions on things to do and things to avoid. Thanks for posting this video.
How many lingcod were caught swimbaits versus metal jigs that day?
We’re you using the standard jig heads or the ones with the underspin blades?
Captain Allen and Deckhand Jonathan we’re on target EVERY TIME with the gaff. What a great day you had!
One thing I miss about charter boat fishin…
The best instructional ling cod video I have ever seen, very very well done! For beginners, I would add: If you lift your rod and it just feels spongy, set the hook, it is a ling cod. Sometimes they inhale it without really pulling on your line.
