Sandy Point is an outer-exposed drop-off off Olympia, Washington, in DFO subarea 13, where a mixed bottom falls away through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure draws Chinook Salmon at their peak from June through September and Coho Salmon from July through October, with Lingcod, Pacific Halibut, Pacific Cod, and a range of rockfish including Black, Blue, Copper, and Quillback holding along the same edge. Trolling flashers, cut-plug herring, trolling spoons, and hootchies works the salmon along the drop, and the same water suits mooching whole or cut-plug herring on banana weights. Anglers also jig metal or leadhead jigs over the deeper contours for Chinook, while Coho respond to flashers with hoochies and trolling spoons through the summer and fall. The steep transition from shallow to deep concentrates fish across a wide depth band, making the exposed edge the focus of most effort here.
