Johnson Point Hump is a rocky pinnacle rising in the inner protected waters off Olympia, Washington, in DFO subarea 13, where depths run from 15 to 40 feet over hard bottom. The structure draws Chinook Salmon at their peak from June through September and Coho Salmon from July through October, alongside resident Black Rockfish, Canary Rockfish, Lingcod, Pacific Halibut, and Pacific Cod. Anglers work the salmon by trolling flashers, cut-plug herring, trolling spoons, and hootchies across the hump, adjusting speed and depth to hold gear near the rock. Mooching whole or cut-plug herring covers the same water at a slower pace, and jigging metal or leadhead jigs targets fish stacked tight to the pinnacle. The shallow depth range and defined structure make this a compact, focused spot where reading tide movement over the rock matters as much as bait choice.
