Rockfish
Westport, Washington, offers some exciting opportunities to target rockfish. The nearshore reefs and rocky structures provide excellent habitat for a variety of rockfish species. When fishing for rockfish, focus on areas with structure, such as submerged reefs and rocky outcroppings. Jigging with leadhead jigs tipped with soft plastics or using baited hooks are common and effective techniques. Pay attention to your depth finder and target areas where you see fish holding. One important tip: be aware of the regulations regarding rockfish identification and retention, as some species have specific restrictions to help protect their populations. Also, consider the ocean conditions, as Westport can experience strong currents and swells. The rockfish in this area are generally robust, so be prepared for a good fight. Use heavier tackle to handle the depth and potential for larger fish.
