Rigging for rockfish

Here is an oldie and goodie discussion. https://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=93028.0

I can tell you I lost the biggest lingcod I have ever hooked while fishing on a black shrimp fly with a tip of squid.

Interesting.  I've never had a lingcod take a shrimp fly

I remember a photo of a lingcod caught on an open-ended wrench where a large j hook was attached to it. Sometimes they are not very picky.

Ha, I saw a you tube video a couple weeks ago with the same. I mean, is a cheap wrench less expensive than a diamond jig? Pretty similar shape/weight/color ... Maybe I should make one, haha.

Good info there.  Love the hand made jigs - those probably crushed.

Very simple high-low rig with squid? Or some trolling set?
