Rockfish
Port Hadlock provides excellent access to rockfish, offering anglers a diverse range of species to target. These bottom-dwelling fish are abundant in the rocky areas and kelp forests surrounding the area. While rockfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months tend to be more productive. Vertical jigging with leadhead jigs or swimbaits is a popular and effective method. Focus on areas with significant depth changes and structure. Be aware of the depth restrictions, as some areas are closed to protect vulnerable species. A fish finder is extremely helpful for locating rock piles and identifying fish holding on the bottom. Remember to consult the WDFW regulations for specific species identification and retention limits, as these can vary.
