Rockfish
The waters off Florence, Oregon, teem with various Rockfish species, offering year-round fishing opportunities. These fish inhabit rocky reefs and structures close to shore, making them accessible to both boat and kayak anglers. Vertical jigging with shrimp flies or small jigs is a proven technique. Focus on areas with known rock piles and ledges. A local tip is to use a descending device when releasing rockfish caught in deep water to help them survive barotrauma. The accessible boat ramp at the Port of Siuslaw provides easy access to the fishing grounds. Be sure to consult the current regulations for species-specific closures and size limits, as these can vary. The abundance and variety of Rockfish near Florence make it a great location for both novice and experienced anglers looking for consistent action.
