Re: How to catch more ling on a party boat.
I tend to use 2/0 baitholders on a high-lo until the bite tapers off. Then if the spot isn't ultra-sticky, I use my flounder rig with #2 hooks on light line. I seem to catch some nice fish on this after the main bite has stopped, maybe the fish get spooky. As for hook size and cod, I just haven't seen enough large cod to worry about hook size. Biggest one I've seen since the winter was 8lbs and most are within 3" of the size limit. I have caught a few keepers on my #2 hooks and 15lb line with no problems.
