GETTING THERE
Drive out the Samoa Peninsula on New Navy Base Road to the parking area at the end, then walk onto the jetty rocks. The jetty is exposed to big surf and sneaker waves, so fish calm days and stay off when swells are breaking over the rocks.
HOW IT'S FISHED
Bottom fishing with jigs and swimbaits along the rocks
