Step 1
Pick a lure. When fishing from a boat, use a jig with a teaser attached three feet above using a swivel. Clams, squid and cut fish are sometimes used for pollock bait. Try streamers, mackerel jigs or plugs when fishing from shore. Add bait to your lure to make it even more attractive.

Step 2
Go to your fishing site. Pollock fishing peaks in the morning and evening. Try fishing near submerged structures. From shore, fish from a pier or near rocky areas.

Step 3
Set the hook when you feel or see a pollock hit. If you are trying to catch pollock for use as bait, be sure to set the hook right away to prevent the fish from swallowing the hook and injuring itself.

Step 4
Clean any pollock that you plan on eating immediately after catching it in order to preserve the quality of the fillets. Keep them on ice once you clean them, but don't let any melt water accumulate.
