Not sure what this little thing is. We released it, but it sure looks pretty.


If you look it up should be a Ling Cod used to catch them along the California coastline all the way up to the Oregon coastline. Another species very similar to this is called Cabezon, the lingcod has white flesh, the cabezon has a blueis green flesh. both are very good eating,

Hi Phil, saw your entry a few days ago and did not respond. I have been on vacation in California for the
past three months. I have fished Shaver Lake for the past 40 plus years. Kokanee has to be one of the best
fighting fish pound for pound there is. Also one of the best eating fish on the planet. As for the best ways
to catch them. I have used a great number of different methods. Bait I use shoepeg corn marinated in various scented oils Pro-Cure Shrimp Oil, Garlic Oil and one called Kokanee Special. Various dodgers made by Vance tackle
Shasta Tackle, and Mag Tackle. Colors vary depending on time of day and whether there is cloud cover or bright sun.
As far as lures go, I have used Hoochies, wedding ring spinners, Apex Lures etc many more, but these have been the most productive. I alter all of them. The wedding ring I replace the hook that it comes with and replace it with Gamagatsu hooks (2) tied in tandem to get a better hookup ration, tipped with the shoepeg corn, trailed behind
the dodger generally 15-18 inches behind the dodgers. The Apex Lure is altered also to change the angle in which it runs, this is put behind the dodger that I am using generally 15-18 inches. as far as line goes using lead core, i Tie a mono leader on generally 20-30 yards long this helps in keeping fish on as they have a tendency to throw the hook because of the weight of the lead core. Fished anywhere from three to six colors. Down riggers are the best way to go in order to get the right depth that the fish are holding at.
