Seasonal Activity Chart
Rockfish
Cold Bay's waters teem with various rockfish species, offering a vibrant and accessible fishery. These colorful fish are abundant around rocky structures and kelp beds, providing consistent action for anglers. The key to success lies in presenting your bait or lure close to the bottom. Jigs, swimbaits, and even bait rigs work well. Focus on areas with current, as this concentrates the rockfish. Summer is prime time, but they can be caught year-round. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rockfish identification guide, as some species are protected and require careful release. A boat is almost essential for reaching the best rockfish habitat, but some shore fishing is possible near the cannery. Remember to use descending devices if you are fishing in deeper water, to help released rockfish survive.
