#11528, "RE: Any suggessions for Rockfishing ..." In response to In response to 3
If there are blue rockfish or black rockfish there (both common farther north) a dark blue swimbait can work well for lings. Oldtimers have won pools by catching the biggest lings on a small live blue rockfish or black rockfish in norcal. Trout color swimbaits also attract lings.
