Pinpointed location via freshwater talk and maps. Thanks for not letting everyone know where to go. I only know because I've been up and down from Bodega to fort Bragg.
Try using some big tube jigs for the lings. White mimics squid and orange and green mimics octopus which Lings love. 2.) add some eyes to the tube towards the back to make the tube really look like a squid or octopus. A magic marker and some imagination drawing works as well if you cant find epoxy eyes for lure making. Epoxy eyes ready to use can be found on Amazon. For Scent go with pro Cure Squid gel. You can even run a piece of sponge inside the tube to hold the scent better. The Gel version of Pro cure hold great and cleans up well, the added spong inside is something i did to make the tube even better. Gear wise rig up with a heavy rod like a 10ft Ugly stick 69.99 or the best you can afford but don't cheap it out on the reel. Buy a big Penn reel or Daiwa BG capable of holding 20-25 main line. Lings will dive for their holes thus you need power to blow a 20 lb ling out of its hole and actually be able to land it. Once they dive in a hole and lock in, game over. 80lb on the leader is not to big either. Lings are not line shy and will try to rub you off. I fish the Rocks of Carmel and Monterey and see anglers lose huge lings as they came with gear more suited for striped bass and basic surf tackle. The lighter stuff will work for cabezon and rock fish but if you looking for serious lings you gotta bring serious gear . A nice 48 inch double ring open crab net rigged on a rope does not hurt either for landing purposes Seen people attempt to land big lings getting way to close to the water and actually ended up going for a swim which is scary as it gets. WE loose a few anglers every year this way as they try to land a fish with and don't notice the oncoming waves.
If y'all like using squid for bait, I recommend looking into salt-curing your bait. When done properly, the squid toughens up and eliminates the need for refrigeration. It's perfect for hiking to spots like this one! If you are interested in learning more, I actually sell salted-squid online at www.othbaits.com. Cheers!

@@sonomacreekoutdoors7104 Totally cool. Hey, anytime you guys need an extra videographer in exchange for some excursions/tips, please let us know. We want to get more into fishing and stuff locally but don't really know where to start. And you can see our YT channel where we have a bit over 60,000 subscribers and a fair bit of YT/video knowledge.
Awesome video man that weedless set up was inspired. Disagree wholeheartedly I take a Cabazon any day ovary perch. Seen that spot 100 times never thought this fish it looks too high. How is Fisher retention getting em up that cliff
@@sonomacreekoutdoors7104 Yeah take a look at "gidos land adventure" he has a rope gaff that may help you out but he lives in Australia so finding one may be a pain. I have started tying a bimini twist and using wind on leaders it really helps with break offs.
I was in the area today and was not wanting to post my location Can I ask a few questions, outside of the public eye Not sure how to reach you privately
If we get sponsored we will release the spot. That being said, its tough giving spots away here, if we do, the 20k views on this video will be in that spot. What I can tell you is we tried many spots along the coast. Lingcod are predators. They ambush. They live in rocks. Head to the coast, look for rocks, you will run into them eventually.
I have been going out by myself every weekend, getting better every trip. Thanks for the tips! Love to fish with you guys, I’m always out there!
Lmao better than bass fishing! SHOTS FIRED!! great video bro
LOL!
Enjoying the series! You guys do such a good job shooting and filming.
Thank you so much for watching. We are glad you like it!
Water Doggies agreed
@@sonomacreekoutdoors7104 hi bro love ur vids and I was wondering if u can give me that location cuz I wanna catch a lincod.
Rainbow perch was the first fish I caught from the surf I agree with you. It was the best tasting fish I’ve had.😊

Wow thanks for the insight! 48" Ling is a nice fish! Thanks for watching.

I'm gunna assume u don't sell salted bait anymore lol
@@nickwilley464 yeah, not anymore. Just don't have the time.
New to shore fishing. Really excited to get into shore fishing. Would definitely appreciate it to know some of these locations to try out.
Another Sonoma County local here. Excited to try some of this out. Total noob though. How is it as far south as Bodega?
North of Bodega on your way up to Gualala.
@@sonomacreekoutdoors7104 Awesome, thanks!

It can be tough getting them up the cliffs. have top be careful not to fray your line!

@@willgrant719 We will check it out thanks!
Nice one's guys.
Thanks!
That's a striped perch. Nice weedless setup.
Thanks 👍
Nice videos guys! Hey what glass are you wearing?
Guy with the beard was wearing native eyewear, guy with the camo hat was wearing Oakleys
Both polarized!
Iversen point? Or is this in the town of gualala ?
Not the town of Gualala, nearby!
@@sonomacreekoutdoors7104 I think I have a idea where it's at thanks for the reply
Yakkity yak yak
Lol kittles… the shop is far from the bay🤣
Stripped perch are beautiful but they have very mushy meat. Rockfish and cabs are way better.
They are pretty fish!
So where are you exactly in Norcal? You present no reference!!!...
We need fishing with bong rips
Think so?
Should we?
SonomaCreekOutdoors yes do dabs when fishing for sand dabs
@@peppitachips1764 hell ya brother
Peppita Chips Come check out my channel! I just uploaded my first video a week ago, I get baked af and go out fishing! 😁

Hi, nice fishing. Where's this location
North of Bodega
"Yack" Yack yack? where is the fishing part?

Can I ask a few questions, outside of the public eye
Not sure how to reach you privately

That was a striped perch
No Sound???
Where is the spot you all fishing at and really enjoy your video
Yeah, me too. It looks like you didn’t get an answer back. Have any idea where is that spot?
No idea. Most people are pretty secretive of there fishing spots which I understand. Wish I knew looks like an awesome spot
KLCW Fisher Then we shouldn’t be subscribing them coz that’s where they get sponsored and earn extra income on the side.
Right right I agree

Right!? Thanks for watching!
