STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Mid

Belle Rock is a rocky pinnacle rising from the seafloor near Friday Harbor, Washington, with fishable depths running from 40 to 120 feet across a mid-exposure setting. The structure holds lingcod, which peak from December through February and again from May through August, alongside aggregate rockfish that run strong from March into September. Anglers work the rock and its edges with metal jigs, leadhead jigs, and swimbaits for both species, dropping into the 40-to-120-foot range where fish stack against the pinnacle. Chinook salmon move through from June through August, and trolling whole herring, flashers, and spoons over the structure connects with them during that window. Live bait drifting with greenling or herring gives lingcod anglers a supporting option when jigging slows.
