Great discussion. I've been wondering the same thing. In the past I've used a wide variety of different baits, but haven't caught enough to find a pattern.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll just drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

I use these, tied to enough weight to get them down, and wait. They will all float! Just pick up the bigger ones!

(these are cast boosters for blasting small diameter holes using anfo) I think the color, is really irrelevant!  :smt044

  Yup, that's the one right there. White or red jighead to finish it.

So while there's not too many accounts to go from yet, so far we can guess that color doesn't have too much to do with it. But I think we can see a trend in shape that somewhere in the range of 5"-7" long and rather skinny seems to be working for bigger lings. AK? That seems to be another story.

7 inch halloween. By hammer. The pig verms love em too. Wait, the cabs too. Shit, the big coppers. I was at Seward a couple of years ago and saw some lings brought in that made me cry. The lures they were using were like 10 or12 inch split tail in white. We couldnt get on a boat. The silver derby had just started and not one charter had room for days. One of these days Im going back. Seward is one of the most beautiful towns I know of.

Kinda like this bugger? This is a setup taken from AK that's pretty well used the Strait of Juan De Fuca that's essentially used for halibut but picks up plenty of jumbo lings as well. It's got a king size hoochie backwards up top w/ a 14/0 circle. Fishermen who use this a lot stuff scent and bait in the hoochie and secure it w/ stretchy thread.

Thanks for all the info. I have not caught a ling yet and am hoping to add it to my list.  :smt003
