    Captain Lamont was amazing!

    We had a great time! Started in the morning and caught our limit. Boat was clean, safe, and Captain Lamont put us right on the fish. This trip was the highlight of visiting WA!

    Exceptional trip and guide

    I would highly recommend this trip and guide. Lamont was outstanding in keeping his boat clean and well maintained, was kind to our young kids, the boat was well stocked and comfortable. He put us right on the fish and we crushed them! Great experience.

About Black Rockfish fishing

Size

Food Value

Game Quality
Good

Black Rockfish fishing is all about steady action and great table fare. These hardy Groundfish school around rocks, reefs, and kelp, and hit with confidence. Anglers love them because they fight hard for their size, bite year-round in many areas, and make a delicious catch to bring home when rules allow.

You can target Black Rockfish with bottom fishing, which means dropping bait or lures near the seafloor. Jigs work very well; a jig is a weighted lure you lift and drop to trigger strikes. Soft plastics, metal jigs, and bait like squid or anchovies all produce. Spinning and conventional tackle both work. Use abrasion-resistant leader because the fish live close to rough structure.

Expect fast bites and doubles when the school is thick. This is a fun, hands-on trip for first-timers, families, and anyone who enjoys active rod work. Dress in layers and wear non-slip shoes. Bring polarized sunglasses to cut glare and a small cooler for fillets if cleaning is offered. Captains often provide tackle, but check what is included and bring seasickness tablets if you are prone to motion sickness.

Before you go, check local rules. Make sure you have the right fishing license or permit, and review season dates, areas, and any harvest or gear limits for Rockfish. Regulations can change, so confirm the latest guidance with local authorities before your Black Rockfish fishing trip.
