Oregon Coast Fishing For Rockfish ~ Searching For New Fishing Spots Along The Oregon Coast

I got to experience a bit of it all, from rock fishing from shore on the beach to rock fishing from rocks and cliffs, the knowledge I'm gaining along the way is priceless and the experiences gained will never be forgotten. As I travel along hwy 101 I am always in search of new Boondocking areas with great views and fishing opportunities.
I started the morning with a pretty scary situation and almost lost myself and some gear to the ocean, but all ended well and here I am, a wiser person.
I always fish from the jetty when I target rockfish like black bass, kelp greenling, rock greenling, and Lingcod, but I decided that I needed to step out of my comfort zone and expand my fishing game. This was probably one of the best moves I could have made.
This trip turned into an amazing day of fishing in some amazing places, some of which were pretty sketchy to get to.
Though I was casting swimbaits for lingcod or some other rockfish, my successful rig for the day was the high low rig. I was using nightcrawlers and some bacon as well...... I had to try it.
Ive never had to put in so much work to catch rockfish, but this isn't a jetty, so really I have no clue what I'm doing.
After a lot of lost gear I was able to catch a couple of fish, the first one being to cool looking to keep, so I threw that one back. I'm not 100% of what it was since I'm not super experienced in the salt water fishing game, though I am learning.

Why would 6 people thumb this down (73 thumbs up as I type this)? I have my own YT channel and I have observed on my own channel and other channels about 10% of people who rate videos thumb them down. Are there really 10% of people who are just flat out jerks?

[@steveo776988]

They are the people that think fishing is hurting fish even if it is catch and release.

[@steveo776988]

I've fished off the jetty quite a few times and I love it. I can't wait to go again.

[@sergeybeast]

youtube is like customer service even though you did a good job that person still gave you a bad review

[@nullbrain8552]

Dude your videos are so great. They have a mixture of everything from explanations to cooking to catching the fish and I really appreciate how you don't assume everyone watching you is a pro. The little explanation at 12:00 is so helpful for newer anglers like me. Keep up the quality content!

[@mmatalk3817]

Spectacular video filming angels! Another masterpiece.

[@Exploer8591]

Beautiful day! I wanted to see video of you climbing back up that hillside. 😄

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Kevin Bushnell - it was pretty amazing. Less fish than normal and a lot of lost gear but that was one of my best solo days of fishing. I was all over the place.. I did manage to find an easier way back up but it was still a lot of work for very little fishing

What an amazing video keep the ocean videos coming I really enjoy watching them 😝I’m about to head there myself soon😎

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Sergiu Todor - It really makes my day to hear that, so much of my content evolves around salmon and steelhead, but there are so many more fisheries to take advantage of. It’s nice to cover it all. I absolutely love fishing the ocean. With spring and summer coming up, there will be plenty more videos coming this way. Thanks for the feedback and support.

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Some truly beautiful coastline you've got there. Great tip with the dropper loop also

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Ralph Barton - Thanks Ralph, our coastline is pretty amazing. I’m excited to get back out. I love fishing for salmon and steelhead, but being able to come out here and explore like this is way more of an adventure. That quick dropper loop rig will definitely keep you in the water longer which always helps improve the chances.

[@riverrightoutdoors]

Great vid always wanted to explore the coast like that. Keeping coming🤘

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

River Right Outdoors - Thank You! This was the first vid where I’m focusing more on the content and different camera angles. I seem to rely on my GoPro too much

[@LBVFISH]

Thanks for the tip on the single-line loop setup. I'll be heading to the CA coast this weekend for some crabbing, fishing, and etc. and I plan on using this single-line technique.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Anytime, sometimes all it takes to turn your luck around is a new setup or just trying something different... i was stuck using just one or two techniques for quite a while before i realized there are endless ways to catch these fish.. Good luck on the CA coast!! let me know how it goes

[@LBVFISH]

[@imagingconcepts]

AnglingAddictsPNW thank you, we are heading to Depoe Bay, hoping to explore some of the rivers around the area as well. Really enjoy your work

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Dave Prill - Depoe Bay is pretty amazing. I was REALLY close to there is this video, obviously excluding the end when I’m back at barview, but there is some good fishing there. Had I given myself more time I would have hit the rivers in hopes of finding a steelhead. Thanks for the support! It means a lot

[@benhillebrand8393]

I' ve been using that weedless rig since I was a kid it's awesome and cheap if you're on a budget.😁

[@F-N-C]

This might sound weird but I have caught lingcod using cut up hot dogs. Also the Greenlings will eat the hot dogs.

[@mrburns17]

I've only ever tried the jettys in Newport and barview. I need to find more shore fishing along the coast

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

MrBuRnS I feel pretty comfortable on the jetty. It’s not often that I don’t catch fish. Getting out and exploring new areas was pretty amazing. I lost more gear than normal and caught less fish, but I had a lot of fun seeing what else is out there. Now I have something I can build off of and hopefully get better at finding fish away from the jetties.

[@genedavis759]

Beautiful Kelp Greenling on 1st cast. Have you ever eaten one? they are deliceose.

[@patgraeme775]

Going fishing this coming weekend, any advice on good spots along the oregon coast?

[@amara5606]

awesome content! we're van camping from LA to Portland along the coast and would love to know where this spot is. were you able to park and sleep near the beach?

[@dougsparks66]

Awesome video buddy! Try using slinkies for weights when on jetties...less snags.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Doug Sparks - Thanks Doug! I had a lot of fun. I will definitely try the slinky weights next time. I’m all for less snags

[@johngeddes7894]

Now you take and get some of buck owens best works for the pedal steel, at which he was ready for some hillbilly stanchions. His only girlfriend lived in the same town but she was never home. He wrote lots of songs about her if you can even listen, bro. Check it out.

it would be cool if he did like a top 10ish spots that he is willing to share, i understand hes got his secret spots thats perfectly fine

Drive up the 101 and they are all over. You just got to do it.

[@cocosguesthousekohphiphi5704]

[@fengquansong6475]

Great video! Just wondering how you find those spots? You find them previously from web? or drive along 101 and randomly stop and checking?

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Fengquan Song - Thank You...I do a lot of my fishing from google earth/maps and just explore. It’s one of the reasons I sleep in my rig a lot... Fogarty park is where I caught this oddly colored greenling. I’ve never caught one with greens and yellows before

I didn't know rockfish like night crawler!

I’m going to let you off on a warning ⚠️ for using that bacon, I’m feeling very generous. But if you dare use that bacon on another vid, I’m going to bring down the full weight of the law on you. 😎
