Where to Find Big Rockfish and Lingcod on Kayak

[Revoguys]

does your fishfinder have a contour feature? If so you can fish drop offs by just seeing the contours at La Jolla. Find a rocky bottom and drop some squid, shrimp, live macs, bucktails or curly tail grubs. I like fishing a double dropper loop with two different baits to give them options. If you can’t make bait, fish a squid on one hook and a grub on the other. I like the chartreuse or white, I’ve had good luck with those two colors. Last time I went out to LJ tho they were biting on frozen sardines! Good luck man and tight lines!

Looking to take a little trip up that way this spring. Any tips on where to launch there?

Thanks for the reply! My Garmin Striker 4 does not have contours, probably because I purchased the cheapest model. I wonder if I can upgrade software without replacing the hardware?

Anyway I started making double dropper loops and also bought some bucktails so thanks for the advice. Hoping I'll start reeling in giants now that we can get in the ocean again here in Oside.

Cheers!
