Rockfish
Garibaldi offers easy access to some of Oregon's best rockfish habitat. These fish are plentiful along the nearshore reefs and rocky outcroppings, providing consistent action for anglers of all skill levels. Rockfish can be caught year-round, but the calmer weather of summer and early fall makes for a more enjoyable experience. Target areas with structure using jigs, soft plastics, or bait rigs. A local tip: try fishing near kelp beds, as these areas often hold large numbers of rockfish. The rockfish population around Garibaldi is diverse, with several different species available, including black rockfish, blue rockfish, and canary rockfish. Remember to consult the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific identification and bag limits for each species.
