Seasonal Activity Chart
Rockfish
Sitka's waters are teeming with rockfish, providing consistent action for anglers of all skill levels. These colorful fish inhabit the rocky reefs and kelp forests surrounding the islands. While rockfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months (May-September) generally offer more comfortable fishing conditions. Jigs, soft plastics, and bait fished near the bottom are all effective. A key to success is finding the right depth, as different rockfish species prefer different habitats. Many productive rockfish spots are easily accessible from Sitka by boat, but always check the regulations regarding species-specific closures and depth restrictions. The rockfish population is diverse, with species like yelloweye, black rockfish, and quillback commonly encountered. Remember to use a descending device to properly release rockfish caught from deeper water to increase their survival rate.
