Seward Alaska Lingcod & Seward Alaska Rockfish

The waters around Seward, Alaska offers an abundance of big lingcod and rockfish, these fish are an added bonus because we catch a lot of them when we are fishing for halibut or salmon! We also offer fishing charters that specifically target lingcod and rockfish. Not only are lingcod and rockfish excellent tasting, they are fun to catch on light tackle! Lingcod average 25 to 35 lbs and often weigh in the 40 to 60 lb class. Yellow eye (red snapper) average 10 to 20 lbs. Sea bass (black bass) average 3 to 6 lbs and can weigh up to 10lbs.

Seward Alaska Lingcod

Lingcod won’t win any beauty contests, but they are one of the best tasting fish that Alaska has to offer!
They have a long brown body with beige spots and a big head with lots of sharp teeth and will eat
anything that they can get their mouths on. A lot of times someone will be reeling in an Alaska rockfish
with a lingcod’s mouth attached to the rockfish. We typically fish for Seward lingcod with a scampi jig, a
lead head jig with a shrimp tail near rock piles or on top of pinnacles. Alaska lingcod have an aggressive
behavior and will attack any lure you present to them. When you hook a Seward Alaska lingcod on
med-light tackle, you will definitely know!
