St. John Point is an outer-exposed rock drop-off off Comox, British Columbia, where the bottom falls steeply through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure holds Chinook Salmon that peak from June through August and Coho Salmon that run from May into September, both taken by trolling anchovy, herring, spoons, or hootchies along the edge. Pacific Halibut concentrate here from March through July and respond to drift jigging with leadhead jigs, swimbaits, and metal jigs worked over the rock. Lingcod hold on the same structure with peak windows in January through March and again from May through September, and they take metal jigs, swimbaits, and leadhead jigs bounced near the bottom. The deep rock also supports Pacific Cod, Canary Rockfish, Pacific Ocean Perch, Sablefish, and Spiny Dogfish across the drop-off.
