What's Biting at Garibaldi
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current ODFW regulations before keeping any fish.
Dungeness Crab
Metacarcinus magister
Season: Seasons differ by state and area (check regs)
Baits: Chicken or turkey parts, Fish carcasses, Clams
Ring nets or pots from a public dock, jetty or boat. Rings need checking every 15 to 30 minutes; pots can soak longer. Slack water around high and low tide is the easy time: gear stays where you dropped it and lines don't drag. Size, sex and limit rules apply in both states, so carry a crab gauge and check the current regs.
Rockfish
Sebastes spp.
Season: April – December (check regs)
Baits: Shrimp flies, Metal jigs, Squid strips
Fish vertically over reef and kelp. Keep the bait just off bottom to dodge snags and hook quality grade.
Lingcod
Ophiodon elongatus
Season: April – November
Baits: Large swimbaits, Metal jigs, Live mackerel
Big baits, rocky bottom, and patience. Lings follow hooked fish up — keep a net ready at the surface.
King Salmon
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
Season: June – September (check regs)
Baits: Trolled anchovies, Spoons, Hoochies
Troll bait near bait schools and temperature breaks. Early season fishes deep; late season pushes near river mouths.
Redtail Surfperch
Amphistichus rhodoterus
Season: Year-round; spring is the peak
Baits: Sand shrimp, Clam necks, Gulp! sandworms
Fish the troughs just behind the breakers with a two-hook rig or a Carolina rig and a light weight. The incoming tide toward high is the classic window, when perch move up into the surf to feed. Look for darker water and rips that mark the deeper troughs.
