7 Best Rock Fishing Rigs & Jetty Fishing Rigs + Rockfish Tips & Catches

Jetty Fishing & Rock Fishing. This "how to" covers Jetty Fishing Rigs / Rock Fishing Rigs, and jetty fishing tips that will CATCH you more rockfish from the jetty.. Whether Rock fishing from a jetty, a pier, or from the beach, you will find a rock fishing rig that works for you.
One thing that I noticed early on in my fishing years was that a lot of the time when I first started a new fishery I would find the fishing setup that I felt comfortable with and would basically stick with that one rig. When it comes to fishing the ocean, beach, jetty, etc. we have an incoming tide, slack tide, and an outgoing tide. These tide fluctuations can make fishing a bit more difficult unless you know multiple rigs, how to fish them, and when to fish them.

These are the 7 rigs that I use most when im out rock fishing on the Oregon coast. Between jigs with grubs, swimbaits, bait rigs, bottom fishing rigs, there are a lot of known approaches to this fishery but there are also a lot of ways that you can modify these rigs to catch you even more fish.

If you are wondering how to fish from a jetty, or just looking to expand your fishing knowledge, This is the video for you. I will show you how to tie these jetty fishing setups, how they can be modified, as well as show you how to fish with them. East Coast, West Coast, these rock fishing rigs are universal and can be used for a magnitudes of different species. Considering I am typically fishing the Oregon coast, I usually use these fishing rigs for Black Bass, Kelp Greenling, Surfperch, Lingcod as well as many other potential rockfish in the area.

I'm shooting this video from Barview jetty in Garibaldi, which is just north of Tillamook on the Oregon coast.

Good Luck Out There!

You’re videos catch me some fish!

Awesome tutorial, this video is super helpful. You’re enticing me to try the jetty once I’m experienced. Sorry you lost so much tackle demonstrating for us :(. Thank you for all of the effort you put into making these video.

I’ve been to the jetty three times and have been skunked each time. I am determined to learn the ways of the jetty though, and I hope these videos will help. Thanks for making them and sharing your knowledge.

Lovin all the jetty content lately, you know me I love that place. Keep up the good work brother 🤘

Oh how I wish I had seen your video before I went jetty fishing and lost my most expensive lure! Thank you so much for the video. I have learnt a new loop knot thanks to you and it ll so nicely help me in tying up extra rigs and so easily too. You have saved my aggravation at fishing the jettys. Do you happen to know what the name of the loop knot is at 12:45? Before you tied on the dropper loop. If you could make a video on how to safely land fish at the jettys without getting near the water and if you don't have landing nets that would be great. Thanks so much man. Cheers from India.

Just moved to Florence, took my son fishing off the North Jetty today, no bites with clam, muscle, or 5 year old stinky sandworm...watched your great videos at 10pm, cant wait to get up at the crack of dawn to try some great techniques and rigs you taught me now...much appreciated.

[davidmays]

Love what your teaching us Nick!! Keep up the great work!

Edit: Try fishing in Coos County (North Bend, Coos Bay, Charleston) there's some excellent fishing around here.

Going out to Long Beach for 8 days in a few weeks. This was a good scenic display of rigs for that area. Rig tying with a tabletop background is not as inviting as the backdrop of water and mountains on a clear day. Sorry about the tackle trickle in the stones. It was also inclusive of everything except a bobber for the riverside. Probably looking for something silver with that technique anyway. Great concise video. Thanks.

Thanks for this video, it was very informative but please stop littering your tag ends. Cut them over your tackle and clean them out later. Thanks!

[bentoutofshape]

Great video! One more tip on the worm weight, I always keep some tooth picks in my weight box to peg the weight under certain conditions. You do the rig just as you did, then poke the tooth pick into the hole in the weight nice and tight then break it off. You can then slide it tight to the hook or further up the leader depending on your conditions.
Keep breathing

Bro, get some oil on that baitcaster. She sounds dry.

[oregonwildjimr]

I just watched a few of your videos and you do a very good job! I learned quite a bit, thank-you! I have fished for sea bass from a boat right near where you are and plan to give some of your techniques a try. I want to try the Nehalem jetty a try as well.

I’ve been fishing on the jetty for two years now and I still come back to this video for tips. A solid video for beginners and experienced dudes looking for fishing wisdom! I appreciate you and your channel so much, dude. Any tips on night fishing? Me and my brother wanted to try it out this weekend

[dfbecker]

Great stuff! I look to improve my catch on the jetty with your tips! Thank you!

[hanslain]

Dude, so much info. Thanks! What size hook and grub at 21:00?

[bobsouthwick]

Thanks for your great presentations. What size are those worm hooks you are using?

[jdyzy]

Great video. Went for the 1st time yesterday and got skunked... but so did everyone else near me. Can't wait to go back with some new knowledge.

[JohnArnoldPhotography]

Best instruction video I have seen yet. Thank you Nick.

[reddragonaut]

Thank you! I'm definitely going to try some of these techniques this weekend. I'll be fishing up by Jenner trying to go for a ling off the shore. This is a whole new ball game for me, having grown up fishing trout in the Siskiyou area. A lot more skin in the game for sure. Losing a rig hurts quite a bit more! I'm hoping to minimize the losses with these hook set ups. Thank you again!
