Fishing boats from Morro Bay, California. Docked and getting ready to go fishing for the day.
The standard Rockcod rig consists of a 7’ to 8’ fishing rod rated for 15 to 50 lb and a conventional reel capable of holding 200 yards or more of 30 lb monofilament. Many anglers use the thin diameter braided superlines to get a better feel and control during the drift.
Standard catch are typical Black Rockcod, Blue Rockcod, Vermilions (REDS), Boccaccio, Olives, Lingcod, Cabazon’s and Greenlings. Deckhands will measure the fish that have minimum size limits and release the ones not allowed to keep.
