Lure Size
what is a good lingcod lure in the channel islands?
i will be fishing for lingcods at the channel island in socal. what is a good lure size and how do you fish them? is a diamond jig, swimbait or someother lure goood ( which is the best)? thank u
could u also tell me where to get big 10oz jig heads?
Lings mainly eat smaller rockfish. I’ve done best with jigs which mimic those colors: red and red/yellow jigs, though I’ve caught some nice lings on chrome diamond jigs as well. However, the chrome seems to attract more of the “less desirable” salmon groupers and jonny bass than the painted jigs.
In 100-300 feet, large plastics also work — I used to have some huge “grubs” (about a foot long) on 12-24 ounce heads which worked on the lings. (I also once caught a 15 pound bonito on the sink on one of them.) In 200 feet or so you could get by with a plastic on a 6-8 ounce head if the weather’s calm.
Basically, lings are big fish with big mouths, so stick with big baits. Lings will eat small stuff, too, but usually other smaller fish will get to them first. They hang out right on the bottom, so bounce the jig on the bottom as the boat drifts along.
Big natural baits also work, like a 10 inch mackerel or sardine. In fact, that would be my choice these days. Lings spawn (and get aggressive) from around November through March, and that’s when you used to be able to get good numbers, especially on jigs — and that’s why there’s now a closed season. The rest of the year you have to work harder for them, and natural bait will usually work better.
ADD:
I just found big leadheads online at Charkbait:

Scroll down, the leadheads are near the bottom. They don’t have 10 oz, but they have 8 and 12.
