Rockfish
Seattle's Puget Sound offers a unique opportunity to target rockfish in relatively accessible waters. These fish congregate around structure, making areas like Possession Sound, Blake Island, and the artificial reefs near Edmonds prime locations. Spring and early summer can be excellent as the baitfish become more active. Focus on areas with strong currents and varying depths; rockfish will often be holding tight to structure on the down-current side. A key to success is understanding the local forage. Sand dabs and small crustaceans are important, so match your presentation accordingly. Also, be mindful of depth restrictions and seasonal closures for different rockfish species. Check the WDFW regulations closely before heading out. For shore access, try the piers around Elliot Bay and Shilshole Bay Marina.
