What is the best techniques for fishing Pacific city oregon

I was wondering what is the best fishing areas in Pacific City for rockfish and Lingcod in what is the best techniques for Lingcod and rockfish. And the brands

There's a lot of reef structure out there. Part of the fun is exploring it. But I can understand wanting to get a bit of a jump on things too. The easiest thing to do is start at the rock and see where you have success. The main reef stretches NNW from the rock. There is also a pretty good hump out near the buoy.

I don't know that brands matter a whole bunch for the gear you use. If you're just starting out and you're planning to fish the shallower areas of the reef, I would suggest a 1-2oz. jig (heavier if you're using heavy line, heavy rod, or mono line) with an appropriately sized curly-tail grub soft plastic (4-8 inches). Have a couple of colors to try; white, black, and "root beer" are some of my favorites. That's a pretty simple (and cheap) setup that will catch lingcod, rockfish, and cabezon. Drop it down until you hit bottom, then jig the bait until you get a strike.

I'd be remiss not to mention Lancer jigs. They are a local favorite up and down the PacNW coast. A variety of those in 2 and 4 oz. should catch you plenty of fish.

The best way to learn that (or any) water is to hook up with one of the kind NWKA folks on here and head out with them. A lot of people on here are happy to share some time on the water to kick start your ocean addiction.

Thanks

Don't pass up Big Hammer swim baits.  I caught all my fish yesterday out there on one 6" Big Hammer on a 4oz triangle head weight. 

Be sure to bring several colors too, as sometimes one gets more attention than others.   I started with the clear green fleck and switched to a more clear red fleck (don't remember the actual names they were assigned). 

The other thing is, small baits catch small fish, medium and big fish.  Medium baits catch small fish, medium and big fish.  Big baits catch medium and big fish.  MONSTER baits catch MONSTER fish.

One more.
I was using Berkley Gulp Alive baits.
Kept 6 rocks and a decent cabbie, threw back and gave away other rocks and 2 short cabbies.
Fishing was tough yesterday.  I know using the Berkley stuff works.

Berkeley scented baits are arson I use a two shrimp fly above my jig head from my swivel. Had plenty of triple hookups that way lancers are the bomb in soon to try Bronson baits as well but remember to buy Pro-cure jell for smell. Also I use an assortment of jigs to see what's hot. Tillamook bay is also a great place to start. Hit me up if conditions ar good and I'm free I will go out with you.

The other thing is, small baits catch small fish, medium and big fish.  Medium baits catch small fish, medium and big fish.  Big baits catch medium and big fish.  MONSTER baits catch MONSTER fish.

One of my favorite techniques that has landed me the biggest lings is checking the stomachs for bait or regurgitated whole bait & adding it to my jigs. This has worked especially well with octopus.

I don't know; I've caught some of my best fish on "small" baits - a 21" black rockfish on 1/4oz. jig with 2" grub, etc. Peanuts catch elephants? But I agree monster baits catch monster fish... if you have the patience.

So what your are saying is that we are on the same page.   

My biggest fish to date is my 43" bull red fish in Grand Isle Louisiana two years ago on a rig using 10lb mono/braid combo, 1/2oz sliding egg weight, 2.5" plastic squid, and tiny circle hook.  This rig was intended to catch me some bait, but I'll take a monster. 

So what your are saying is that we are on the same page.   

No, this is the internet. We need to argue about it. 

Back to the best techniques for fishing PC
1. Get your yak there
2. Put all your gear on your boat
C. Wade out into the surf
4. After the big wave goes by jump on and paddle like hell
5. Start at the tip of the cape facing the big rock sticking out of the water
F. Drop a big jig in the water and paddle towards the big rock sticking out of the water
7. Paddle around pulling fish from the deep
8. Most important if nobaddays is on the water follow him around like a hawk

They really will bite just about anything out there some days it's hard to figure out what they will bite so bring a little of everything. Most of all be safe and have fun I have never had a bad day in the ocean even with Pepe Le'Pew on board.

I'm so confused!!!   

Little Cos and I are hitting PC tomorrow, if anyone wants to tag along.

For my two cents, the rod you use is equally as important as your bait.  A flexible, lighter rod tends to give more action to the bait rather than just moving that bait up and down.  And who doesn't love to see a rod doubled over with a double or triple hook up.

I have also moved to putting a sinker on the bottom and three unweighted jigs starting a foot up from the sinker.  I got tired of snagging up with my bottom weighted jighead and losing my gear.  Still get the same banging the bottom sound from the weight, but far fewer snag ups. and if the jigs are unweighted, they get tons of action.  Also, Procure gel is a must, it's like crack to the fish.
