Salmon fishing was getting boring so went in search of near shore Rockfish. This technique worked well when I was in California for rockfish and I couldn't see why it wouldn't in Canada. So I gave it a try and it worked amazing. Jigging near shore off a rocky drop with a Big Hammer Swim Bait. The Rockfish were nearly jumping in the boat. All looked like Copper Rockfish, looks like a healthy population in this area. Had a few for the ice chest and to catch and release. So much fun catching these aggressive fish. Now that I know they are around I'll have to take along a bait casting rod next time and have some fun.
