Well. Here's my theory. Judging rockfish and groundfish behavior, I guessed they were more active at night. I think they leave the security of the rock crevices and move up in the water column to feed in semi-open water. During the day they will hold tight to the rocks/bottom.
So.......try the jetties at night or first light would be my suggestion. That's what I have been doing based on my lil theory and so far it's working. I haven't necessarily found a "honey hole" as far as the fingers go. I work one finger for a few minutes on boths sides with swim baits and/or curly tails and move to the next one if it doesn't produce. Rockfish aren't a very mobile species. If you don't hit em in one spot, change baits. If that doesn't work, they're not feeding or simply just not there. Keep moving, keep fan casting, try different baits.
I also recommend fishing the incoming tide. Strong tide changes are a dinner bell
Good Luck and Happy Fishing!
