He's only half kidding. The biggest Ling I've ever caught chomped down on a small rockfish that I had hooked about 10 seconds earlier. I brought them both up to the surface and the Ling never let go. That is pretty common from what I can tell.

Big spoon off a spreader bar is a killer for them, so is White berkley power grubs. Although a live greenling is pretty hard to beat LOL!

I agree with the live greenling things......just make sure when you bring up the big ling that you don't break the surface with it or it will be history.

Small flounder work realy well too. I have used the mudracker for Hali and we did pick up a nice ling last trip to swiftsure.

While at Swiftsure I fished a mudraker and my buddy switched to a white glow power grub on a 10-12 oz jighead.I ended up getting a hali in the same time it took my friend to catch 3 lings!
The power grub is the ling slayer for sure!

Theres a few new Berkley players on the block that make the Power Grub look silly as well. Of course, the grub is a good all-round special.

the new product from Berkley is called GULP. There is some cool looking 5",8" and 10" squids that work well for bottomfish. Lots of different colors. They also make some other shapes that fit into anchovy holders and strip holders. Shops like Island Outfitters have a great selection of this sort of stuff.

Yes, the gulps are darn good, I actually have had the best luck with the strip bait, the other fancy ones work good too, but I just cut up the strips and work 'em for the bottomfish.

For those that don't know about it,the strips are actually called Gulp "Cut Bait". Comes in a sheet and about 6 different flavours. You can cut it to shape and size tip hootchies with it, use it in Rhys Davis strip holders, wrap a plug with a small piece or just fish it by it's self. In some USA markets it's called "Bait in a bag".
