Somehow we’re less than a month away from slinging jigs in the shallows again. Targeting this diverse variety on light tackle in 30-80ft has been our bread & butter these last few seasons, yielding action-packed days and productive results.
April is filling up but we still have availability with more openings in May. Local trips starting at $200 per angler—book using the link in our profile, it’s time to start bending 🤘🏻
CCFC Cod Tackle Tips for 2025:
For fishing shallow rockfish and lingcod (100ft or less) we recommend a 300-400 sized low profile baitcasting reel paired with a ~8ft casting rod rated 15-30lbs. Spool your reel with 40-50 pound braid and bring your favorite 1-4oz jigs.
For fishing rockfish and lingcod in 100-220 feet use a similar setup with a larger casting spool size of 400-500 and spool yourself up with 30-40lb braid. Bring your favorite 2-7oz jigs for this mid-depth range.
Anything deeper than 250 and 300 feet plus bring your 400-500 size slowpitch reel spooled up with 15-30lb braid and those 200-500g knife jigs to get down quick.
We plan on fishing all-depths this season depending on angler preferences, the time of year, and what’s accessible condition-wise.
Private charters for 4 people can be customizable at request to focus on specific techniques like slow-pitch jigging or swimbait fishing.
