Westport Washington is home to the Westport Jetty which offers shore-bound anglers excellent access to bottom fish such as kelp greenling, black sea bass, and of course everyone's favorite, lingcod. You can also fish the Jetty from a boat as Nate Treat and Mike Carey do in this video. Excellent spot!

Just caught a big ol black rockfish off the jetty in Westport. I've had the best luck using "the general" (green 5 inch) Berkley Powerbait, but this video is correct that the fish aren't that picky. I know some guys swear by the all white ones. I think I'll go for some surf perch again on the crescent beach right next to it, had some luck a few years ago and can't wait to try again. A tip for when you get snagged (because you will, many times), give the line some slack then pull it with your hand instead of yanking on the rod. I unsnagged about 20:1 pulling the line with my hand, had to re-rig twice fishing for about 3-4 hours. Often times you're really just snagged on kelp/seaweed which eventually will come loose.

Very helpful information at the gear part of the video! I'm going Black Sea Bass fishing tomorrow and it helped me find the gear and things I needed to do it! Thank you for the help!

I almost went there last week for some fishing, but plans changed. Can't wait to try it this summer. Awesome Vid

If you're fishing from the jetty you'll want smaller jigs and curly tail plastics, 1/2 -2 oz should be plenty heavy. Get the cheap stuff cause you'll loss gear and the fish aren't that picky. The bottom is super grabby so you need to be constantly paying attention or you'll loss stuff. Another option would be a float and suspended bait like herring and let the rig drift with the tide/wide. Don't use your nice steelhead floats, go cheap until you get the hang of it.

Im still chasing those Jetty Rockfish!!

@raystravel8325 2 года назад

Wow so detailed. I subbed. I never knew about the sand shrimp in tokeland.

@NorthwestFishingTV 11 лет назад

I've never been up there then, I think it's good year round. Winter brings on storms making the jetty even more dangerous to walk it.

@TightLineAdventures 11 лет назад

so your using 1/2-2 ounce weight with the white tubes jigs with your shrimp? just trying to get a grasp on it before i stock up and head out...what size hooks do you perfer? and your fishing above your weight? can i do this off the jetty or will i just use the weight with a few feet leader..and does the bait float??thank you for your help

@TightLineAdventures 11 лет назад

dont know if my reply came through lol..so your using between 1/2-2 ounce weights, and what size hooks do you perfer? i like the bait choice and will be picking up the tube baits.. and buying some sand shrimp lol. does your tube bait float? i noticed u said your fishing above your weight???

@TightLineAdventures 11 лет назад

Going to try for first time Sunday for my bday should I stock up for snags..we will be off the jetty and does the same bait apply for summer time compared to spring

@jeremiea999 7 лет назад

lol I have found sand shimp on every beach I have ever dug on in the Puget sound they are everywere

@hobbyhomesteader984 5 лет назад

Really....I'll have to give that a try. We have a cabin on the Sound. What do you use to get at them? Is it any different than what these guys are doing?

@BallinRiceBowl 11 лет назад

I'm thinking about hitting up the Jetty again in October for Black Rockfish. Do you know if October is still a good month to land a couple? I'm a bit new to fishing off the Jetty. Any advice would help a ton! :) I'll be fishing off the rocks.

@NorthwestFishingTV 11 лет назад

Hooks can be big, what ever comes on the jigs. For the tube bait again, I used a large bass hook, 1/0, match to the hook. Lings and rockfish have big mouths, you don't have to go small gear on them. The comment about fishing about the weight refers to a drop shot type presentation. Hook is suspended 1-2 feet above the weight which bounces the bottom.

@alansherwood8421 5 лет назад

Thank you for the great video. Which area of Tokeland is best to find Sand Shrimp?

@michaelcarey1298 5 лет назад

sorry, my friend Nate would know, I do not

@RoxnDox 5 лет назад

Have you ever tried your luck at the North Jetty on the Ocean Shores side of the harbor entrance? Seems like it ought to produce about the same....

@michaelcarey1298 5 лет назад

I have not, but I bet you're right

@srfkach 8 лет назад

I have the same boat. How do you like yours with the 120HP Johnson? Mine has the 150HP V6 and is kind of on its last legs. I may eventually re-power with a smaller motor (save some money and hopefully fuel as well). I go about 42-45 MPH on the top end, but cruise usually in the low 30's.

@NorthwestFishingTV 8 лет назад

+srfkach I have had so many great adventures with my boat. I do a lot of overnights and a lot of fishing in it. The 120 pushes it along at around 28-30mph. But the motor is old an maybe isn't putting out all it used to. I seem to remember it cruised 33-35 when I first got it.

@srfkach 8 лет назад

+Northwest Fishing Reports - Just curious, are those your top speeds or cruising speed? I've been considering a repower eventually and thinking about going with a lower HP motor and wondering how you do with the 120. Going 45 is kind of fun, but you can watch the fuel guage go down! Some of the 115 HP 4 strokes don't weigh too much, just wondering if it would be enough power. Thanks for the good videos!

@NorthwestFishingTV 8 лет назад

+srfkach sorry for the late reply. My boat won't win any races, but it moves 2-4 people along just fine. Re-power is the way I would go for my boat for sure. I wouldn't change my HP much in either direction.

@TightLineAdventures 11 лет назад

Didn't get a chance to watch whole video, what size weights,hooks and stuff are they if you can briefly explain?? I'm gonna stock up tomorrow please

@highlander511 2 месяца назад

Hey, I’m checking out your channel really good stuff. My family has turned me onto that jetty for other reasons but I wanna go back and fish it do you charter or do you recommend anybody who made charter that area please respond if you can’t it’s cool luck out there.

@NorthwestFishingTV 16 дней назад

charters will go out into the ocean, none for jetty fishing.

@alansherwood8421 5 лет назад

Will those Rockfish hit bait cast from the jetty? Or do they require movement?

@michaelcarey1298 5 лет назад

yes, they will hit bait from the jetty
