Lysters(on the left, if youre northbound 101, on the north side of Garibaldi) and ask the lady about fishin the jetty, and she will gladly point you in the right direction, as she is in the know. Hopefully by the time I get there, you can show OFF your catch!
Well just got back, didn't get any pics cuz well I didn't have anything worthy of taking a picture of. Got to Barview at about 10:30 realized I left my tackle box with weights and bobbers in it at home. Today was just one of those days where nothing goes right. Tried Barview with inadequate tackle for about an hour got a few bites but no hook ups. Then we went to Garabaldi crabbing pier and tossed our lines in and caught dozens of tiny Sculpin. My girlfriend thought it was fun but to me it was not that great. Left there about 4 and headed home stopped on the Wilson and snuck up on a hole. There were at least four real nice steelies. First cast hooked one. A couple nice runs and he jumps and spits my spinner back at me. While I was fighting it 4 other people came down and pretty much crowded me outta my hole. I would love to claim a skunk today but my hands reek like Sculpin. I did keep a couple and fileted them up for Searun Cutthroat bait. Gonna try the Nehalem tidewater hopefully this next week.
i would say if its just a steelhead rod probably not but if it as some back bone you would be ok..... i had mine down there must of had a chip in it because it snaped way to easy. just watch putting your rod straight up when when taking off the fish the lead and fish could break the tip!So for fishing off the jetty, would a steelhead rod and reel be good enough? I'd hate to bring it near salt water though.
