Rockfish
For rockfish enthusiasts, Bay City, Oregon, offers a productive fishery just offshore. The nearshore waters are riddled with rocky outcroppings and reefs that provide ideal habitat for a variety of rockfish species. The best time to target these fish is typically during the calmer months of late spring through early fall. Water conditions are key - clearer water usually means better fishing. Focus your efforts on areas with structure, using jigs or bait rigs fished near the bottom. Local tip: The Garibaldi Marina is a great place to launch and gather intel from other anglers. Another tip: Rockfish populations can be sensitive, so be mindful of regulations regarding bag limits and size restrictions. Also consider using a descending device to help release rockfish caught at deeper depths to improve their survival rate.
