PEAK
Shoulder
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

This rocky pinnacle sits in outer, exposed waters off Newport, Oregon, rising through depths of 150 to 195 feet. The hard rock structure holds Lingcod, which peak in February and March, alongside Yelloweye, Widow, and Canary Rockfish and Pacific Cod year-round, while Pacific Halibut work the surrounding bottom from March through July. Anglers target Lingcod by jigging metal jigs, swimbaits, and leadhead jigs over the pinnacle, or drop live greenling and whole herring tight to the rock. For Halibut, drift fishing with herring, salmon bellies, octopus, or squid covers the deeper edges. Chinook Salmon move through from May to September and Coho from June to October, taken by trolling cut-plug herring, anchovies, and flashers with hoochies above the structure.
