Since I've been up here I constantly get told about the south jetty for easy bank fishing in salt water can I get some more info about the area and what I can catch from there I'm planning a trip with my girlfriend over in that area

Lol ok, I'm scared now tho...are they a worthwhile risk?
The best advice I've heard about rock/jetty fishing (which has been useful in other fishing circumstances as well) was "always assume you're going to break an ankle, and be prepared for it."sapo said:So jetties have tons of fish, but are really dangerous?

One thing to keep in mind - anyone who gives you advice from when they hit up a spot 20-30+ years ago - ignore their anecdotes except as a historical oddity. There simply are not as many (or as large) of fish in the water in those easy spots. I have literally lost count of the number of old codgers who thnk it's cool to walk up to me while I'm fishing (at any location in the PNW, mind you) and sagely advise me how the fish there were all 30-40 lbs when they "used to fish" the area, and if I'm really lucky they'll even talk trash at my catch..! :sad:troutdude said:Back in the 80's, a buddy and I fished it at night. We seriously HAMMERED, lots of nice sea bass, on a minus tide!!! Just toss a floating rapala, and twitch it.
According to the Marine Zone reg's, it appears to be open 24/7. I do not see any special reg's that, would indicate otherwise.
