I just noticed your a vet thank for your service I absolutely appreciate all my veteran friends and family members

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

michael kline - Thank You! The support is always appreciated. It’s another reason I am always out and about fishing and exploring. It’s my therapy. I’m always in my happy place when I’m doing stuff like this

I love how lings went from a bucket list fish to you totally slaying em

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Aaron Riutzel - haha ya I never would have expected two days of fishing like this. I’m always going to be chasing a day better. Hopefully it comes, but man are those lings fun to catch

[@seanhumphreys5498]

That was pretty gnarly going down the cliff to get those fish! Good job getting it done, cooking the fish and always a pleasure seeing your show!!! Love it and keep up the great work!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Sean Humphreys - Thank You Sean, it was an interesting trip. It’s nice when you can just pull them up and not have to go down for them. One was on my salmon/steelhead rod and there was no way I was pulling that lingcod up with it.... and I figured why not add in a bit of danger?! Lol everyone loves to watch something that could go wrong right? Thanks for watching and for the support, it’s much appreciated

[@ernestoinfante3931]

Fishing on the Oregon coast Is one the best,especially red tail perch on incoming high tide. I'm also a vet {desert storm} just going to coast it keep me relaxed even I don't fish. Thanks for sharing your videos!

[@paulschmidt1644]

If you’ve never had lingcod your missing out, it’s definitely my favorite fish.

[@ms.annthrope415]

Cleanest, sweetest fish I've ever caught. When I used fo fish off norther Cal and caught lingcod, it was always a treat to cook the filets with olive oil, salt, lemon, lemon pepper, butter and baked in foil. Always came out so flaky and sweet. No fishy taste. If thr filets are extra thick, I slice it to make a pocket and stuff it with mushrooms, olives, onions and cook as above. Oh so good.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Dude sick save on that fish. Glad you got out before they shut everything down 🤙🏻 🎣

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

NW Fishing Secrets - oh man I was so stoked it was following it. So many times I’ve caught rockfish that way. If they hit it but don’t commit, you always have a chance of them smashing it again. I just saw you put out another video. I need to do some catching up. This was probably one of my longest solo trips. I ended up heading home on day 6 when EVERYONE decided to storm the beaches and seal our fate with closures

Try dipping the fish in tempura batter as a binder then panko, best fish and chips in the game! Sometimes I’ll go straight tempura batter with my rock fish and ling for an authentic battered fish… great fishing video man! Thanks for sharing!

[@Neil-Jones]

Just a 'by the way'... That first fish... We called those black sea bass back in the fifties when I was a kid fishing with my dad. I used to do charter and had a commercial fishing vessel out of Charleston by Coos Bay. Everybody knew those as "black rockfish". The University of Oregon had their marine Biology facility just right there by the marina. According to those guys and their pamphlet just about everything was a rockfish... Yelloweye Rockfish, Canary rockfish etc, etc. (still a sea bass, though.) I'm moving to Astoria the middle of September. Hope to catch you on a rock out there sometime. We can exchange fishing lies.🤔

[@revjerred5895]

It's always fun fishing in a out of the way spot, and finding that surprising hole!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

ReddRaven1969 - exploring and finding new spots is a lot of fun. I would have never expected to find so many fish here. I got spoiled for a couple days :)

Have you ever fished in Brookings?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Jason Davis - I have not, I was checking it out on google maps when I was searching down the coast for fishing areas. Is there access to that jetty on the north side or is it just on the south side? It’s a 6hr drive from here and I typically don’t go that far out.... maybe one of these days

[@pdxfishing6840]

AnglingAddictsPNW So awesome! Also, I wonder if you could use a crab ring as a makeshift net to bring those bigger fish up the cliff side. Worth looking into.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

PDXFISHING - that’s a good idea! I wish I would have had SOMETHING! did you see the video before this? My last ling was so big I couldn’t get it up the cliff and it broke off

[@markee063]

Hey nick. I am solo from the rocks this week. Down around Yachats and Perpetua. I cannot seem to find a Ling, which is the ultimate prize. Been throwing away all my gear. I will try poke holing this week down by Neptune Gardens.(maybe an eel or something) Tight lines dude!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Mark Wood - I think there are plenty of times when the fish ARE around and they just aren’t biting. Have you tried just a simple Texas rigged grub with a bullet weight? I hate throwing away gear and coming up empty handed. I started losing less gear and was better able to run my gear right over or around the rocks with no snags

[@ryanwhipkey3045]

Be out there end of February for most of March as well would be cool to link up and hit the water🤙🏽

[@terranceanthon5182]

Hey have you tried throwing crankbaits for those bass?Maybe a floating rapala ? Ive been doing the slip shot kitek approach.I like it alot. What other largemouth techniques have you tried?

[@Exploer8591]

Damn, Nick!!! That's dedication! I think you better start wearing a helmet and pads when you go fishing.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Kevin Bushnell - I am the biggest risk to myself lol. Though some PPE would protect me, it’s kinda like someone giving us crap for not wearing our life jackets ;) I trust my judgement and abilities... I HAVE to lol well worth it, even though I just turned around and threw that first ling back in. Luckily I always had something to hold onto, those rocks are awesome for climbing.. falling into the ocean is the only downfall lol

[@Exploer8591]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW I have complete trust in your judgement and abilities also. It's just that I have an extreme fear of heights, especially when the fall could possibly kill you...or, worse yet, not kill you. Watching you walk around on those cliffs makes me dizzy and nauseous.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Kevin Bushnell - I’m not big on heights for the most part either. There were a few times where if I had just leaned forward a little more I would been heading in a direction that I did not want to go. I kind of surprised myself on the last two locations.. but good areas to target the Kong’s are hard to come by without a little risk...

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

PNW anglers - Thank You, as of now here in Oregon you can still target other species. In fact you can still target springers, just not on the Columbia, though that’s where the fish are right now. Good time to explore new fisheries or to fine tune some skills

[@joesmo2840]

One way to get those fish up cliffs is to use a carabiner hooked to a giant treble hook and a separate rope just clip carabiner to your line send it down to the fish and use the rope to pull them up

They evacuated the coast last weekend and screwed us out of a paid night at our hotel in Rockaway. We encountered signs along the highway that said things like fuck off tourist go home . I wish I had more time because fishing was good.it looks like you had some amazing fishing 🤘

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Brian Grendahl - That’s pretty messed up but I get the frustration from the locals... especially a small town like Rockaway. They say stay home, everyone flocks to these towns anyhow and put more people in harms way. You should have been reimbursed. That’s pretty messed up that they wouldn’t credit you. Where were you staying if you don’t mind me asking?

[@briangrendahl4635]

I can't remember what the place was called at the moment.i can understand why they evacuated seaside with all the spring breakers .there was not many people out and about in Rockaway or garibaldi .for me it was the signs on the road and the fact that the hotels allowed people to stay in the first .but fishing was great while it lasted

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

I was also using some 3.5” Yum Pulse swimbaits and 4” Big Hammer swimbaits. This is basically what I already had sitting around. I did just order some Keitech easy shiners and the Keitech Swing Impact swimbaits.

Doug Covert lol I figured you were but it also brings up a good point. It’s harder to measure accurately with this type of tape measure.
