Lingcod Setups for Consistent Limits | Bay Area Charters

[@mk12347]

man O man, I watched like 100 fishing videos about similar stuff, yours is by far the best , very informative, straight to the point and most importantly practical

[@bucurilie5183]

Everything looks good, and you-re right about your staff. In your private boat. In a party boat, especially on a bog swell day one has to use big weights to get down. Yours will be all over the place and knowing from my experience your line will be cut quick. You tangle with my line once, twice, and I'll let you know. 3rd time I'll cut it. As I said I used this kind of baits in my own boat, in a charter as I said will be more challenging.

Dang what a solid video. New Subscriber here. Never got into a Ling before. Definitely want to try this big swim bait fishing. That’s pretty cool using the Zero Hudd for deep water. So much good intel in the video and from the viewers and comments. Just started making these giant swim baits and jig heads. Without this video I would have continued on making the wrong colors. Dope video brotha 👍🏻💪🏻🤙🏻

[@stevedyer5902]

What a great video, especially taking the time to add the links! Hope to see you out there on the water....

[@_Alzee_]

One of the better info videos I have seen. Thanks for putting it together.

[@longbeachca1]

Great video!!! Can you do a rod and reel/line video?

[@andrewcannon7790]

Thank you , One of the best videos out there ...Well done

[@johncosico3810]

Swimbait or jigs only for me. And the 4 that works for me are the xmas color, root beer color with red belly, and Mackerel if there’s any bait in the water. If they’re spawning in October you can throw a table spoon there and they’ll hit it.

[@michaelrussell9857]

Such a good video bro, circle back and rewatch it and learn something each time...I got half ur half on an Emeryville trip, I would love to fish with you and Check out the technique first hand. Let me know and I will book us a trip.

Underated video. I just bought some of the madam and tackle warehouse under spin jig heads based on your recommendation using the link

Did you have any luck catching them?

I'm your 1000 subscriber. Love the content man keep it up. I'm a newbie and just got my salt water and I'll be fishing Vancouver Island coast line in British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@bjzfishing]

Welcome to the drug, there's some good freshwater fishing in BC as well

[@Tyguy266]

@bjzfishing I'm hoping to get fresh water license as well. I love lake hoping

[@mmmmmray]

I appreciate the insight!

[@hectorrodriguez5840]

Could you do a video on how to retrieve your bait after the cast

[@bjzfishing]

Have a ling cod trip vid Not much retrieving. Just jigging up and down

[@ecesarchavez]

Great video thanks for sharing, what rod weight length do you use for these they seem extremely heavy on my medium rods with 40lb spectra.

[@bjzfishing]

very nice video , cheers for the helpful info, quick question where can I get the 9" mackerel swim baits I ordered 8oz 12/0 / Ol' Faithful Raw yesterday, also where can I get the 6.5 Christmas swim baits? , going out of Morro Bay 12 hours on the Black Pearl mid-August . Thank you

[@bjzfishing]

@@ILOVECHEECHEES tacklewarehouse big hammer. Madame lures The right now it’s the shallow regulation so u need lighter stuff in general

[@uncletony3674]

Feel like a damn fool for buying a bait setup after watching your videos, lures are key!

[@kirkwesterveltoutdoors]

I am finding it hard to purchase the swimbaits and Jigheads you show. Coolbaits are out of swimbaits you recommend. I sure would like to buy these items. Please help with your ideas

[@bjzfishing]

Can try contacting d&m and coolbaits directly via email for a custom/bulk order madame lures should be readily available.

[@michaelrussell9857]

Help me understand what size jig heads to use for swim baits. If im fishing 200 plus feet in the bay what do you suggest? should I use 8 ounce or 14.5? I like the cool bait underspin but not following why you use the 8 oz with large swells. Do you like fishing off the back of the boat. Im trying to understand what depth do you use the lighter D&M custom jigs? Is that when you are in the bay fishing 100 foot or less?

[@bjzfishing]

Use the lightest weight you can get away with. I fish open charter boats mainly, so too light of a weight and you will tangle everyone else. Depth doesn't matter as much. 6oz is my go to. The slower the fall in the final 15feet, the more lingcod bites you will get

[@_Alzee_]

Great Video!

[@JocephusDuckworth]

Does those Diamond jig still works on the ling cod ? 4:27

[@bjzfishing]

Those are swimbait heads. They still work. Diamond jugs are different but work great. Just not for deeper water imo

[@fedsggwp]

Never thought of using huds for ling. I’m a freshwater largemouth bass swimbait fisherman mostly glide baits but during this time I use a lotta Huddleston’s nice vid.

[@outdoorsandindoors]

Has all white or chartreuse work for you? Getting into big swimbaits thanks for the video

[@bjzfishing]

I personally don’t think color matters much out deep. But I’ve never had luck on white or chartreuse.

[@JocephusDuckworth]

Does those Diamond jig still works on the ling cod ?

[@michaelrussell9857]

Do you ever go out on those rock cod lingcod crab combos? Season opener just got delayed but im going December 4th

[@bjzfishing]

yup those are my favorite, there usually isn't enough time for the boat to get a lingcod limit, which means you can fish for as many lingcod as you can

[@tomhuynh7556]

Very informative. Just curious, which knot do you use to tie swimbait lures for casting away on the charter boat?

[@bjzfishing]

Palomar for mono leader

[@freddiegonz4113]

Do you add swivels to rig your swimbaits or you used tactical swivels. Thanks

[@bjzfishing]

100lb swivel to 60lb leader, to a spro prime snap for quick change. The larger swivels reduce line twist under heavier loads like 12 oz jigs

[@freddiegonz4113]

@@bjzfishing thanks a lot

[@MikeAvelino707]

Sorry if I missed it but what size line do you recommend?

[@bjzfishing]

65lb braid to 50lb mono leader, or 50lb braid to 40lb mono leader, depending on how deep

[@MikeAvelino707]

Heavier the deeper correct?

[@bjzfishing]

@@MikeAvelino707 no the opposite, the deeper you go the less line capactiy you will have with 65lv vs 50lb also thinner braid has less drag in the water and allows you to stay more up and down instead of getting scoped out i rarely have them break 40lb leader

[@tydengr]

tell me how to avoid lure hook into the rock when you fish at the reef with all the rocks. Does cast and reel better catching fish than jig up and down?

[@bjzfishing]

You just gotta constantly check your jig to make sure it is not sitting on the bottom. Thats how you get snagged in the rocks most of the time. For swimbaits, cast out as far as you can in the direction the boat is drifting to give the jig time to reach bottom.

[@tydengr]

@@bjzfishing Thanks for the information.

[@jes5130]

What pole and reel r u using?

[@bjzfishing]

phenix abyss hd 729, or a phenix slow fall XH Tranx 400s, but with 50 fathom rule you will want either a bigger real or go 40lb braid on the tranx 400 which has broken on me few times for lings

[@jes5130]

@@bjzfishing much appreciated! And thanks for the videos and tips on the lures and jig heads. Can't wait to try them out!

[@Madocthevindicator]

I used to fish the farralons but now I'm in Oregon chasing big lings. What rod and reel do you use for swim baits?

[@bjzfishing]

Either a Phenix Abyss HD for the really heavy stuff, or the phenix slow pitch rods MH to H

[@w1ll339]

do you ever throw flat fall jigs or spoons? if so what color?

[@bjzfishing]

Used to, but swimbaits outperform. However slow-pitch jigs I've done really well on in recent years, tend to catch bigger lings (mackeral color)

[@w1ll339]

@@bjzfishing Im going mid august and looking at what to buy the only way i've successfully fished lings before is trap rigs and dead mackeral. I'm trying to learn new methods. I got some 6oz underspin heads and im looking for a swimbait to pair with. I'm going out of HMB. Do you got any specific slow pitch jigs you recommend?

[@bjzfishing]

@@w1ll339 yea usually a 5-6inch swimbait will work fine on 6oz heads, like a 6.5" ig hammer. It depends how deep you go and how packed the charters are. I think HMB boats generally don't go that deep, and if it's under 150ft I stay with 4-6oz heads. If you want to know how to fish swimbaits for lings here is an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmrPfYWki7ySntE&ab_channel=bjzfishing I don't have any recommendations for slowpitch jigs as I am still experimenting with this myself the last few years.

[@w1ll339]

@@bjzfishing i think my friends family booked out the entire boat for 14 people i’ll try and grab some lighter heads before I go.

[@jaimeruiz4313]

If fishing 300-350 foot depth, what weight head would you recommend?

[@bjzfishing]

16oz +, at that depth you are better off trap rigging 24oz+ if you are on a party boat, otherwise your chances of tangling everyone else with 300ft+ of line out is really high

[@jaimeruiz4313]

@@bjzfishingI appreciate your help. It's going to be in a panga in Mexico. 3 people on the boat. I'll look into trap rigs.

[@jafetjuarez5983]

3oz its ok for 100 ft?

[@bjzfishing]

If it’s an open charter with 10+ people, I’d go 6oz. And 4oz for under 100ft.

[@jafetjuarez5983]

i have another question did its ok if a add a clip to any jig or metal lure
