Rockfish
Seaside, Oregon, provides excellent access to a diverse Rockfish population just offshore. These fish thrive around the numerous rocky reefs and submerged structures that characterize the nearshore environment. Rockfish can be targeted year-round, but the calmer weather of summer and early fall makes for more comfortable fishing. Popular techniques include jigging, using bait rigs, or trolling with small lures. The key is to present your offering close to the bottom where Rockfish tend to congregate. Check with local tackle shops for the most effective bait or lures. One often-overlooked tip is to pay attention to the depth contours and target areas where there are sudden drop-offs or underwater pinnacles. Rockfish in this area are generally plentiful, but responsible fishing practices, including careful handling and release of non-target species, are essential to maintain the health of the fishery. The area just outside Tillamook Bay is a known hotspot.
