Whatever for lingcods, black rockfish, greenlings. Etc. :dunno:
Spent all day out here and nothing but a sunburn. And its starting to get under my skin... (the frustration) that is.

Then rig that greenling up and catch a ling! If you are fishing the jetty, you can throw out wilson pt. darts for lings as well. I also slay rockfish on a crippled herring lure in a glow body and a green back (I don't think that the color matters as long as it is fluttering) Casting it out and retrieving/jigging it into rocks is a little sketchy though. That is why I broke down and got a kayak :chuckle:

I use piling worms and they work great. everyone says they can get you but I have been using them since I was 8 or 9 and I have never bit or whatever they say they do.

I'm almost positive it's against the law in Puget Sound nowadays but not sure about the Coast. Just didn't want anyone to get busted.
oh okay my bad. Yeah there are a few rules out in westport but thats it. I use them for a few diff types of fish. It needs to warm up a bit before I would start using piling worms. They might work now but I like to use sand shrimp.
one time a guy was freaking out that i was using them and im not sure if he said they bite or pinch you but he was sure I shouldnt be messing with them.
one time I helped a 8 year old catch his first fish with a piling worm.
I like to use clam necks for sole out there. It works well.

The Shell station just up from Monte Square sell sand shrimp. Monte Square's guy got popped for not having a license.Not sure where that is. But I checked every gas station within like 10 miles of westport. Either they didnt sell sandshrimp or they were out. The hungry whale was even sold out.

That's what we do. We also get them at Nisqually.
Post by: Smossy on May 13, 2013, 12:46:16 AM
No need to buy them if your in Westport, that's where they come from. Take a clam gun behind the coastguard station on the bottom half of the tide. Pull a tube full of sand and quickly put your hand in the hole and scoop out your shrimp, usually 1-6 shrimp per pull. Does not take long to get your bait!!! That's where the commercial pumpers go.What really? Wheres the coast guard station? We seen the fire department, the coast guard HOUSE, with the big bell out front. The beaches out there? and where, Just randomly pull clam guns full of sand? No tells for the shrimp or are there little holes where they reside? MY bad for all the questions, just would make things alittle easier next time. We came home but I would love to make it back out there to do some fishing.

The sandy beach in the little cove by the tower at Westhaven Park is where we use to get shrimp. Look for tiny holes in the sand.Ok Ill keep that In mind. I wanna plan another trip out there, just got back from two days in westport. Had to unpack, and repack, to go on our trip to packwood for our 3 day cabin stay :tup:

Here's an Outdoor Line podcast that covers fishing off the jetties at Westport and Ocean Shores. It might be somewhat helpful in your pursuit of bottomfish out there. Best of luck to you ;)

We have podcasts available every week on the main Outdoor Line page and I periodically update the Resource Line page with stuff that people seem to be interested in. There's a really good surf perch podcast in there somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it. If I get lucky and find it I'll post it up for ya.
Buddies of mine do really well fishing off the jetties out there for sea bass and lingcod and all they use are curly tails and swim baits on jig heads. When the salmon are running they'll float a whole herring under a bobber and they'll catch a few salmon that way too. Pretty fun deal...just gotta watch the weather. Best of luck to you!
