What's Biting at Port Angeles
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current WDFW regulations before keeping any fish.
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.
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.
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.
Cabezon
Scorpaenichthys marmoratus
Season: March – October
Baits: Squid, Shrimp, Small crabs
Drop baits into rocky holes and jetty gaps. Strong first run — keep them out of the rocks.
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.

Terminal Tackle
