Hey guys,
I'm gonna join the masses in a couple weeks and go check out the Westport jetty. just looking for some advice on where to camp? I don't really care how close it is to the jetty as long as we're within about a half hour ish. I'd rather have to make a little longer drive if its a cheaper and/or nicer campground.
any advice for catching the lings and seabass would be welcomed as well...I think I have the tackle down, but I'm not really sure how far on the jetty we should be walking out.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Re: westport camping?
There are two state parks close by, Twin Harbors and Grayland. Both are open and were pretty empty when I was there last week. $22 for a basic site. Twin Harbors is also reservable.

Re: westport camping?
Fish lighter jigheads to target the mid water column for seabass. Heavier jigheads to fish the bottom for lings and cabezon. Twin harbors is a nice campground and just about 5-10min from the jetty. Also need a new fishing license and a discover pass to park at the jetty, but i think if you buy a campsite for a night the discover pass is included?
Re: westport camping?
Thanks guys, just booked a campsite at twin harbors. I'll probably fish all sorts of stuff, hopefully catch a few. My expectations aren't too high as I know the jetty sees a lot of fishing pressure but hey, a two hour drive from seattle will make it a fun weekend trip!
