Inshore Lingcod Trolling Tactics | Fishing with Rod

Rod joins Dave Murphy at Murphy Sportfishing for some lingcod fishing in Kyuquot on Vancouver Island BC. Dave selectively targets lingcod by slowly trolling large swimbaits, which smaller species like rockfish cannot bite onto.

This video is my favorite so far. Thank you Dave, Rod and Kitty! Love This technique. I have a few spots I can't wait to this out on.

Actually not a bad show. I like how the Asian guy wasn't afraid to ask questions. Program had a nice organic flow to it and not pretentious like so many of the fishing programs

Alright! Another adventure with Rod.
Always clean, professional content.
Good information.
Thank you from Kansas.

[brandensoutdoorb-channel]

Very cool. I'm from Southern California and we also have Ling Cod.

[dwayneiviei]

Just love you two guys... very injoyable for sure.

July is usually pretty good here Northern California for salmon Ling Cod depending on the season Dungeness crab if it's still open varies from year to year

Look at those WAVES wow! what was the tide? do you know by any chance? thank you for sharing! nice video!

[JJhuang]

Great video Rod! BTW, what weight of lure were you guys using?

[sinaran]

Nice work Rod!
I still fish with the "Rod's special" lure from years back btw! :)

[outdoorfreedom]

Good video, I learned a few things about Ling Cod.

[Tolli.Forker]

Nice to see a guide that lets you hold the rod and use the gaff. We caught our limit on our recent trip but our guide made us keep the rod in the holder the entire time for ling and halibut - it took a lot of fun out of the experience. He would strike and then let us take over the reel...

[fishonfoolz]

Hey rod like the terez rod do u know mh or heavy and what lb braid and size of the talica want to get my first conventional reel thanks

[getreel]

Do you know why he doesn't use a net instead of the gaff?

[ChromeArty]

Would a net not be an easier way to make sure ya get it to the boat?

My buddy taught me years ago, on his boat to net it before the head emerges... I've been trying the last few days to get a ling from my kayak... lost two so far... need to shorten my leader and lengthen my net handle!!

[DFNW]

Good size swells out there that day. I'm sure I would of been puking my guts up!

[mikenelson]

I thought that you could only keep ling over 65cm. That first one killed with the gaff is well under 65cm.

[negroiam]

what if its hooked deeper into the throat? do i kill the ling first then pull it out? im only 14 so i have barely any idea what im doing

[Soltfire]

What is the ideal distance you want to keep the lure from the rocks to avoid hanging up? I usually try and keep it 3 feet off the rocks but sometimes I snag myself :P
