STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

Hump 1.2 km NE of Ridout Islets is a rocky pinnacle in the outer exposed waters off Tofino, rising through depths of 75 to 240 feet. The structure holds lingcod, which peak May through August, alongside black rockfish (May to September) and copper rockfish, which stay active February through October. Anglers work the rock with jigging using metal jigs, leadhead jigs, or soft plastic swimbaits, the dominant approach for lingcod and rockfish on this kind of terrain. Pacific halibut move through in spring, peaking March to June, and respond to drift jigging with leadhead jigs and soft plastics over the deeper stretches. Chinook salmon (May to August) and coho (June to October) pass through the exposed water above the pinnacle and are taken by trolling anchovy, herring, hootchies, and trolling spoons.
