STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

The Hump at 46.03996, -124.0045 is an outer-exposed rock pinnacle rising off Ilwaco, Washington, where the bottom holds between 90 and 105 feet. The rocky structure concentrates a mix of rockfish, including yellowtail, copper, and canary, alongside Pacific cod and lingcod that peak in January and February. Pacific halibut work the surrounding depths from March through August, while Chinook salmon move through in April and again from June into September. Lingcod respond to jigging with metal jigs, swimbaits, or leadhead jigs over the pinnacle, and halibut come to drift fishing with herring, salmon bellies, squid, or octopus along the deeper edges. Chinook are best worked by trolling whole herring, anchovy, flashers, or hoochies through the water column above the structure.
