Beginning Fishing - By DJFISHS2XS

Lingcod
Braided line…less drag in the current, strong
Spinning or bait casting long stiff rod for casting towards rock pile
Spinning or bait casting short stiff rod for bouncing heavy lead off the bottom
Reels should hold at least 300 yards of line
Storm swim baits shallow and large hook lead heads with paddle or twin tails (glow) (rootbeer)deep
12 to 18 oz sinkers with small or large spreader bars for bait fishing in deep water
Rule of thumb big fish deep water, more fish shallow water…

Long soft rod for trolling reel 200 to 300 yards of 20 to 30 pound mono
Flashers lots of different opium’s on kind but red and green with flash seam to be the color
Down riggers from a boat, you can catch them with dipsey divers and even banana sinkers to get the lure down
Hootchies and spoons again green seems to be the color but every one has there favorite spoon
