Rockfish
The waters off Cannon Beach are teeming with various species of Rockfish, providing ample opportunity for anglers. These fish are structure-oriented, so focus your efforts around rocky reefs, ledges, and kelp beds. Fishing is productive year-round, but the warmer months can be particularly good. Simple techniques like dropping baited hooks or jigs near the bottom are effective. Popular baits include squid, shrimp, and cut bait. Remember to use barbless hooks to minimize harm to the fish, especially when practicing catch and release. Be aware of depth restrictions and marine protected areas. Cape Falcon, just north of Cannon Beach, is a known hotspot. Public boat ramps are available in nearby towns, though ocean conditions can be challenging, so check the forecast before heading out.
