8/22/2012 3:28:00 PMI used to fish the jetty consistently for about 25 years until the last 10 or so, used to catch those rock greenling too, but only on the surf side. We would catch kelp greenling on both sides. You are right about the lings, my biggest was a 27 lb.er caught on a live kelp greenling. Some of the lings have torquise colored flesh as well. Cabs certainly are tasty, one of the best for fish and chips made with panko.Melanie took a 16+lber at Neah Bay a few years ago.Great report, don't forget salmon, I took a great 17 lb. king on a sand shrimp while bottom fishing there more then a couple of years ago.Bob R

8/22/2012 4:38:00 PMWe usually fish the ocean side, we always have more luck on that side and get snagged A LOT less, Last year I caught a nice salmon off the jetty with a jig head and minnow. We couldnt seem to catch anything small enough to be used as live bait. Was using small hooks with mussels, for small greenling but only managed to hook some rather large ones!
