Rockfish
Seward's waters teem with rockfish, offering anglers a diverse and rewarding fishing experience. From the shallow nearshore waters of Resurrection Bay to the deeper offshore structures of the Gulf of Alaska, you'll find various species like black rockfish, yelloweye, and quillback. The key is to key in on seasonal forage availability. Summer and early fall are prime times, as baitfish concentrate in these waters. Focus on rocky reefs, kelp forests, and steep drop-offs. Natural presentations like jigs and bait rigs are effective. Pay close attention to depth; rockfish often congregate at specific levels. Tipping your jigs with a piece of herring can be a game-changer. A popular access point is the Seward Boat Harbor, offering easy access to Resurrection Bay. Be sure to consult the ADF&G regulations before heading out, as rockfish identification and retention rules are strict.
