Puget Sound Ling Cod Fishing

[micahgee]

There are seabass in the Puget Sound!?!?

If you mean rockfish then all recreational fishing has closed for rockfish including those so called "quillbacks" , in the Puget Sound

[micahgee]

Those aren't sure don't look like quillback rockfish.

[zcutbait]

[mackles]

You mayzured it right? lol old ppl talk

[iamtankman]

Too bad that when I was stationed at Ft Lewis I was so damned poor. I couldn't take advantage of the awesome fishing that Puget sound has to offer. :(

[XXXDarkdizXXX]

i caught the 3rd official ling of the season and it was just 26 inches soooo lucky my family was sooo exited BTW: im 11 :)

[smarttubber123]

how many ling cod can u keep?

[ntfishmaster95]

nice fish! love the vids!!

[TheColeDiesel]

Hahahaha If you wanna catch a decent ling, come up to Alaska. Those things are pinner

[skateboardcraze]

hahah "OOhh baby this is a Dandy" lol awsome

[incidentalpoet]

Thanks

[BurtDeWees]

The fishing rules are lame this year! They lowered the size limit on lings, and shut down rock fish entirely. I feel ripped off. They charged 3 bucks more to fish less. I wish they came out with the rule book when it is time to re-up on the license, rather than a month after. The really sad thing is, these guys know nothing. I have had no trouble hookin' any rock fish, it's not hard to find them at all, so I don't know where they get the endangered BS.

[CrappyBikeVideos]

its a dandy im going to yuquina bay sat

[FishingThePNW]

awesome video!  i grew up fishing the puget sound but mainly just approximately the tacoma area. i've been wanting to get out to edmonds because i hear you can catch decent lingcod off of the pier there.

[Twentyfitythrid]

does anyone kno where you could fish for lings without a boat? In the Southern Puget Sound?

[synapsecracklepop]

@Twentyfitythrid I haven't read the rules for a while but the whole South Sound and even around the San Juans is closed for cod... or used to be. A good way to fish for them from the bank, is to gather eels or whatever when the tide is out, then use them for bait, fishing the incoming tide. I don't know if that's legal either though. You won't get but baby lings that way. You should have a boat, dangle a chrome bar, just a ways up from bottom. These are shakers... good meat but thin filet

[BurtDeWees]

Agreead, that was a copper rock. And btw, "bottomfish4life", look at your rule book b4 you make stoopid remarks. Min size in area 6, where these guys are, is min 26", max 40". you should know your rules b4 you go fish, or make false statements.

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

these lings have nothing in size compared to the ones in AK.

[jbball50]

Where in Area 6 was that at? I'm guessing probably somewhere off Whidbey Island?

[fisherandhunter4life]

ling cod taste so good

[physchohead24]

is there ling cod up around the seattle-tacoma-commencement bay area?

[incidentalpoet]

Sorry have not tired to fish there so I really can't help you out ...... WILLIE

[fisherandhunter4life]

ya i have tried i dont know weather there waz any because i didn't even get a nibble i think there is though!

[kobun37]

@physchohead24 There are lings around Dash Point Pier on the artificial reef. You can catch them from the shore, but count on getting hung up a lot on the reef.

Another good spot is under the Tacoma Narrows bridges, where old galloping gertie fell.

[kssalmon]

Quillback???Nope..but close. Both the Quillback and Copperback are in the scorpion fish family. A Quillback is much darker with a much bigger eye and no light-lad stripe, the front blotches are more cream to white. Copperbacks have a normal size eye and hence the name are copper in color with a cream to yellow lad line and same withfront blotches. Good to know your fish. Rock fish have a hunderd different familys with a hunderd different species in them.

[bottomfish4life]

buddy the limit on lings are 28 inches

[chinglengvang]

r u guys pros???

[Rockyfish3]

who fishes in waiters lol good thin the boat didn't drown or you would have gone down with it. Nice video!

[incidentalpoet]

Port townsend

[bigdaddyhien]

what area are you fishing??

[incidentalpoet]

Over kill 12 to 15 is all you need .... WILLIE

[Feragho9]

Does 30 lb Mustad Line work?

[incidentalpoet]

Thanks, you tube only allows a 10 min clip max

[NTfishmaster]

you guys have a good show! why did you cut out half the video though? also, i catch the mutch smaller, but very fun sculpin. i fish the same way, but much smaller, and with worms

[eazypeeze]

Im going fishing in the sound tommarow. Hoping to get some ling cod/ rock cod. This looks fun

[incidentalpoet]

Just look for rock piles good luck

[RobTheChief]

Where can you find the legal size and type of fish you can keep? I'm going to be fishing in the sound soon and I am very new to the sport.

[incidentalpoet]

We were fishing off port townsend

[seanandnay011]

yeh

[BioEco22]

I am going this summer to Alaska ling cod fishing. Do you think a Okuma heavy weight rod with an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5500C3 reel spooled with 390 feet of P line 17 lb fluoro is good enough?

[drewduck7]

You can catch most lings with that rig. 17 pound line is a bit risky if you hook a big un. I've broken off lings with 20 and 30 pound line. I'd recommend 30 lb + spiderwire or other superbraid. Pretty reasonable on ebay. Under $15. Drew

[incidentalpoet]

Sorry don't really know ... I would ask around you may be surprised ...

[theagony87]

I dont suppose fishing for bottomfish is this good in the South Sound?

[jayland77]

Where were you fishing at?

[incidentalpoet]

Off Port Townsend

[fwaandrew]

huh i use clams an jig for emm

[fwaandrew]

How do you fish for Ling Cod got any good tips for me. and could you give me some tip on how to fish for flounder

[incidentalpoet]

Lings aren't really very selective jigs are very effective ... Hooking up a small flounder can is one of the best ways ... To catch flounder fish an area the has a sandy bottom, drop a rig down with a herring on it and let it sit
