targeting pollock

i've always just caught them as bycatch while groundfishing. seems to be a fair amount being caught commercially now. how deep water should i be looking for these badboys? want to bust out some lighter tackle and have some fun

great bass bait, I don't think this is what your looking for, but sabiki's around the cans off green green harbor to the bell bouy worked well in years past.

the only pollack I've targeted on purpose is harbor pollack for bait with sabikis.
One thing I've noticed when cod fishing if you find a school of pollack, they will hang 20 feet or so off the bottom.

I know every time I go out codfishing and we get into them, they are quite a fight. I also agree that they are above the bottom many times and "squiding" is a great way to get them.
