Rockfish
Whittier is a fantastic base for targeting a variety of Rockfish species in Prince William Sound. These colorful fish are abundant around rocky reefs, ledges, and kelp forests. Popular spots include the waters surrounding Esther Island and the entrances to the various fjords. Rockfish can be caught year-round, but the fishing is often best during the warmer months. Jigs, swimbaits, and bait fished near the bottom are all effective. Be sure to use barbless hooks, as Rockfish are often caught in deep water and can suffer from barotrauma. Using a descending device to return released fish to depth significantly increases their survival rate. Note that regulations regarding species identification and retention limits are strictly enforced, so familiarize yourself with the current rules before heading out. Whittier provides easy access to productive Rockfish grounds, making it a great destination for both novice and experienced anglers.
