What what Ive heard, rock fishing is sporadic at best, usually poor, I think it's just not the best habitat. Summer chinook are showing up now, crab should be around, maybe surf perch (don't know, never tried)

 

Thank you! We plan to fish chinook and crab just thought I'd put it out there. Have a great weekend.

 

Do it right...Rent a boat at Kelly's Brighton Marina. You can crab right there or head towards the jetty or even go upriver to the state park. It's all good crabbing water. Do NOT go to the Jetty Fishery Marina. They charge you to breathe their air.

 

I would steer clear of Jetty Fisheries, that place has the worst customer service and the prices are outrageous!! Kelly's has my business now.

 

Last year I got out there once for crabbing/salmon. Caught tons of big females but the males were thin, also tons of boats out there crabbing. Had our pots pulled on the last and our longest set. Keep an eye out!

 

agreed but the jetty is closer to the crabs if you are using their docks.

and in neither place, the related to each other owners are getting rich or driving around in cadillacs.

so charging too much may be relative to what one thinks.

 

We have our own boat and will be staying at the state park. Should be a fun week!

 

Be very careful around the north jetty especially. Gets shallow and will ruin your day in a hurry. Good luck and have fun!

 

Thanks for the warning! We will stay close to other boats and keep our eyes peeled.

 

my house is only a few blocks from the south jetty and I have fished it often. my best advice is get some sand shrimp, cut in half and place on a hook, add a little wt about 10" above bait. wait for last hour of either tide and fish in the rive by lowering the bait into holes between rocks. lots of nice blue stripped perch. great eating. a long rod helps you dangle it into the right spot without ever getting snagged. watch for waves though, always be aware and dont get too close to the water.
