Morning Lingcod Hunt (Shared)

Join us for an action-packed Lingcod Fishing Adventure in the Puget Sound. 

These fish are some of the most exciting predators in our waters. The Ling Cod are hard hitters, powerful fighters, and absolutely perfect for fish and chips. And yes, you can catch monsters lurking deep in the rocky structure. 

Your trip starts with a fun stop to catch live bait, one of the most interactive and entertaining parts of the day. Once the bait tank is full, Captain Kyle will take you to his top lingcod spots and give a quick tutorial before lines hit the water. He’ll help with baiting, untangling lines, swapping hooks, and sharing tips to keep everyone dialed in and fishing successfully. 

Early May often brings excellent opportunity for larger lingcod as the season kicks off and the fish are fresh, strong, and active. As the month continues, we continue to see great action across our spots with a mix of sizes and steady fishing throughout May. No matter when you join us, every trip offers a real chance to connect with quality Puget Sound lingcod. 

Throughout the trip, Captain Kyle will move strategically based on tide, current, and fish activity to keep the action going. It’s a thrilling, hands-on fishing experience that brings out excitement in both beginners and seasoned anglers alike.
