Rockfish
Ocean Shores provides access to some excellent nearshore rockfish habitat. These fish are structure-oriented, so focus on reefs, rocky bottoms, and kelp forests accessible by boat from Westport or even smaller vessels on calmer days. Prime time for rockfish is typically during the calmer months of summer and early fall. Natural presentations often out-fish artificials, so consider using cut bait, live shrimp, or small jigs tipped with bait. Depth finders are crucial for locating schools of rockfish. Remember that rockfish are susceptible to barotrauma when brought up from deep water, so use a descending device to release any fish you don't intend to keep, especially if caught in deeper waters. Also, be sure to check the regulations for species-specific closures and size limits before you head out.
