Ice On The Beach! Pacific City, Oregon 12-11-09
We get on the water shortly after 9 after bundling up in our layers and were in the fish by 9:30. Plenty of rockfish, a little cabezon, and a couple of legal size lings were caught. My largest happened to be my first rockfish of the day coming in at 18" and well over 4 lbs.. We stayed in close to the rock for most of the day but did attempt to head out to my favorite hole and see if we could fight the wind. We couldn't. I was jigging with 4 oz. of lead and couldn't keep it even close to straight down. Even though the fish were biting like crazy, we were getting blown out pretty quick, so we headed back to the lee of the rock. It was great to get out there again and hitting up my favorite spot sure was a nice way to wrap up 2009. Cheers from Oregon! Last edited by yakinitup; 12-13-2009 at 08:40 PM. |

So cool. Isn't that the beach where the locals drive on and launch their boats?

Yes it is! That would be the dory fleet and it's pretty cool watching them come back in. That's a big part of that town's history.

The temp next to the rock was about 48. The depth averages at around 20 to 30 ft. right next to the rock. There is a reef on one side that is either exposed, or submerged by about 5 ft. depending on what the tides are doing, and there's a spot on another side that is 60 to 70 ft. deep right up against the side of the rock. So it provides a very wide range of structure and is always productive.
