rock fishing

hey guys and gals!
I want to try fishing from the rock to see if I can get a
fish fix. What kind of rig is productive from the rocks? ???

"Rockcod Rig" makes it easy. Buy some tobacco sacks or 3 or 4
ounce pyramid or medallion sinkers. The Rockcod Rig is just
like a shrimpfly rig, but there are two bare hooks vs the two
shrimpflies. Tie onto the Rockcod Rig, add your weight at the
snap swivel end, put some bait on your hooks (squid is an easily
acquired mainstay), and you're good to go. Be ready though -
you'll run into some strong fish, so stick with at least 20
pound on your main line, and 25-30 is better. Let me know when
you're going if you want some company. I'm needing some fresh
fish! :)

When ever I can get over there, I have used a foam sliding
bobber with a 2 oz jig head with a curly tail jig.
The Hard part is finding the right depth, but when you do it is
like jigging from a boat or yak.

I've heard of that method for fishing the jetties, Jeff, but not
tried it myself. I hope for water that clear, but I'm usually
fishing in less than 2' of viz - bait water. At Shelter Cove
I've scored some fish on a 5 ounce jig and split tail from the
reef's edge at Abalone Point when the water was clear - that's a
blast but the conditions that allow it are few and far between.

Just curious Eric...why the bare hooks instead on the shrimp fly
tipped with squid?
I have never caught any fish off the rocks so really have no
clue, but was just wondering...I would've though the color on
the shrimp flies would help to attract them in?? Or maybe not!
:P

Bait on top of the flies gets a little bulky inshore, but it
would work. I play more of a chum game - visual attraction
isn't really part of it. If viz iz available then color's
definitely good.

When heading out to fish off the jetty, dont forget a long
handled net! I have lost more than a few by not taking one.
A cheap/beater net. :)
