Crazy idea- bobber fishing for rockfish

Put a herring on a mooching rig under a bobber and catch a ling cod. I've done it.

That was another idea ....what's the deepest you've set your depth?

A rig like that worked for me on Halibut at 75'.

As a matter of fact, when we went halibut fishing at Homer a couple of years ago, the captain deployed one rig on a float way in back of the boat. The "bobber" was a crab buoy, though, and the water was about 80' deep.

That's actually funny in a,way.

Bwaahahahahahaha.... you just had to go there didn't you....🤣
