Met up with my fishing buddy Brian at 8:00 AM in Woodland Hills. After a quick pit stop at 7-11 for muchies and drinks we proceeded to the jetty. We started fishing around 10:00 A.M.. Brian hooked up on a wall eye perch pretty quickly using muscle. I went quite a while without anything. At some point, I noticed an about two foot wide hole between three rocks that had water down below, so I dropped my bait (frozen squid) in there and just a few minutes later...tap, tap bam fish on. Pulled up a 10" rock fish, sweet! After that I moved around casting to rocks and holes I could see and caught four more rockfish from 10 to a little over 12". They were all the same species of rockfish (not sure what kind, anyone know? We were thinking grass or brown rockfish). Brian also joined in the rockfish party and landed 3 or 4 of them as well. He also hooked into a nice 5" or so rock crab which we promptly returned since it was caught on hook and line. We packed it in at around 3 PM. Another great day of fishing in Ventura, CA. All fish except the biggest rockfish were promptly released to get bigger.

Thanks. Good luck if you get out there and watch the swells.

Those are grass rockfish, nice catches! You can often drop bait in the same hole and catch more fish that are down there. Looks fun and stay safe out there.

Cool, thanks for the ID! That is what I thought they were, but I wasn't sure. I will be hitting up that hole for a drop or two every trip from now on. I would have never even thought of dropping my bait in there if I had not read all of the poke poling stories from up North on PFIC.

I haven't fished that jetty for a long time. Nice to see a report from there.

Wow, if I am fishing in a place where the world renowned frozendog has fished I must be in the right place. I love your reports and food pics btw!

Oh wait a minute, I know where that jetty is now! Good to know there are fish there. I only fished the main jetty and the inside last time I was there. Try tossing some swimbaits in the eddies created by the arms of the jetty, I can already see the halibut sitting there.

Next time get there a little earlier and dig up some sand crabs, use them around the jettys and haul in some 12 to 14 inch Barred Surf perch..
