STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

The Hump at 48.38897, -124.00797 is an outer-exposed rocky pinnacle off Port Renfrew, rising through waters that run 125 to 195 feet deep. The structure holds Pacific Halibut from March through August and Lingcod from May through August, alongside Black Rockfish that stay active March through September and a mix of Copper, Canary, and Pacific Cod along the rock. Chinook Salmon move through from May to September and Coho from June to September, worked through the water column above the pinnacle. Drift jigging with heavy leadhead jigs, herring, or octopus reaches halibut on the bottom, while metal jigs and swimbaits target lingcod tight to the rock. Trolling anchovy, herring, or spoons over the structure covers the salmon, and jigging or bait fishing with herring and squid pulls rockfish off the pinnacle's upper edges.
