Jurassic Park trips are long-range cod fishing. On these longer runs we occasionally get petrale sole, sand dabs, and lingcod too. Depending on fishing conditions and where our best bite would be, the depths we fish in can be up to 450 feet! We travel anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes to the fishing grounds. As the name implies, we travel further and these fish can get big!
We use live bait when available, jigs (metal lures) or shrimp fly/hoochie jigs with large strips of real squid. We hold the prestigious International Game Fish Association (IGFA) world record for the largest olive rockfish (pacific snapper also known as rockcod).
This trip can be challenging but we’ve had eight year-old’s and eighty year-old’s come on these trips and they did great! When we’re fishing in the deep, to reduce line tangles, we only have four people on the rods at a time. For those who want to make bringing up fish easier, we also rent electric rod & reel combos for $75 each. For shallow water fishing we can have six lines in the water.
This trip is a real treat and one you won’t forget for many years. We’re fishing Jurassic Park!
