PEAK
Shoulder
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

This rocky pinnacle sits in exposed outer waters off Ilwaco, Washington, rising from the surrounding seabed across depths of 130 to 145 feet. Pacific halibut hold over this structure through their peak from March to August, while lingcod concentrate here in January and February and Chinook salmon move through from April and again June into September, with coho following June through September. Anglers work the pinnacle for halibut by drift fishing herring, salmon bellies, squid, or octopus, and jigging leadhead or metal jigs draws lingcod tight to the rock. Chinook and coho are taken above the structure by trolling whole or cut-plug herring behind flashers, spoons, and hoochies. The rock also holds quillback, copper, and canary rockfish among the broken terrain at these depths.
