Sandy coves or areas near ledges when the tide is doing something--not sure of any secret tide for up there, but have seen where they go on the prowl in near shore areas with the incoming tides then go set up in ambush in choke points for the outgoing tides.  Any bait with lots of scent should work fine especially when water is moving.

Wolfie is a wolf eel. Awesome fish. Lots of fun and very cool to see and interact with. They will take treats such as urchins from your hand and are very docile. they usually live in little dens and pair up. They are a fish, not an eel, and are very much NOT OK to catch and or eat. No season anywhere in the puget sound is open for them. I was making a joke since Rob has a bit of experience when it comes to diving. Check YouTube and maybe type in "gig harbor wolf eel"....that will give you an idea.

Here is a photo of me hand feeding one a young one from years ago at Sunrise Beach.

I have had them take herring out of my mouth before!

That clip you posted could be from anywhere, but it really looks like the Eastside of Blakely Rock...

Could be....


I do enjoy a nice sunrise beach dive. Had one of my best octo experiences there. Nice midsized one out in the open...just chilling and hanging out. Haven't been down there in a few years though.

Also....from browsing the regs I believe kelp greenling are fair game as well. I believe they are considered "other" gamefish and fall under the qty 2 retention slot.

Nice thing about the greenlings is, they weigh more per inch due to all the worms in the flesh!
