Rockfish

Various

Valdez offers exceptional Rockfish opportunities in the waters of Prince William Sound. These colorful and diverse fish inhabit rocky reefs and kelp forests, providing year-round fishing, though the warmer months (May-September) are generally more comfortable. Jigging with small to medium-sized jigs or using baited hooks near the bottom is a common and effective technique. Look for areas with complex structure and varying depths. Charter boats departing from Valdez offer access to prime Rockfish locations. Be aware that some Rockfish species are slow-growing and vulnerable to overfishing, so practicing responsible fishing techniques is crucial. Pay close attention to regulations regarding species identification, bag limits, and depth restrictions. Some areas may be closed to Rockfish fishing entirely to aid in conservation efforts. Always check the current regulations before heading out.
