There should be plenty of greenling, perch, and sculpin sculking about the jetty rocks. I get the impression you're not interested in using bait but some earth worms or sandshrimp would go a long way. Barring that you can always go with some larger lures and search for any lingcod or rock fish that may be lurking about.
Something I've heard about a bit is fishing at night, apparently the rock fish become less shy after dark and venture further from the rocks and weeds. Unfortunately I've never had a chance to be out there after dark so I have absolutely no clue how truthful that is. |

On the jetties I would strongly recommend the K.I.S.S. approach, as those rocks eat gear and lures like no one's business. And with that said, I would recommend many of the same approaches for rock fish as you would a lm/sm bass, so texas rigged, carolina rigged, tubes, grubs, and jigs. That's not to say spoons, spinners, and cranks won't work, it just gets expensive and fast.

The rock fish you're likely to catch from shore will probably be between 1 and 5 pounds, but you never know what's lurking below, there are definitely bigger ones out there.
P.S. Talking about sea bass may confuse people who are not from Oregon, as those are something else. For what ever reason, here we call rock fish, both sea bass and rock bass. |

So you may very well have been correct in what you were meaning and I just assumed  you meant the blue and black rock fish we have near shore. |
