Wilmot Head is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off in British Columbia's Gulf Islands, where the bottom falls steeply through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure holds lingcod, which peak from February through April and respond to jigging with metal jigs, swimbaits, and leadhead jigs, alongside bait fishing with live greenling, whole herring, or squid. Pacific halibut work the deeper stretches from March through August, taken on drift jigging with metal jigs or herring, while black rockfish stack up along the rock from February into October and hit jigs, soft plastic swimbaits, and mooched herring. Chinook salmon move through from May to August and coho from June to October, both worked by trolling spoons, hootchies, and cut-plug herring across the exposed edge. The rock face and steep contour concentrate fish along the drop, making it worth tracing the structure line at varying depths through the season.
