Run "north jetty" through the search engine and you should get some useful info.

The basics:

Mostly a float and fresh herring show. Stop by the canby campground store and they'll show you and sell you all your rigging. Try to keep your herring around the top 8' of water. Fish the incoming and slack tides. Strong outgoing= curl up on a rock and take a nap.

The jetty is not for the physically weak, one wrong move and you'll fall and be hurtin for certain, airlifts occur off of the jetty every summer. The rocks are more manageable at the beginning of the jetty than towards the middle and end. Felt soles are always a good idea. Bring bug repellant for the brown jetty flies. A long handled salmon net is necessary to get them in. Don't forget the sunscreen. I would recommend a mainline at a minimum of 25-30lb test and at least a 25lb leader. Those jetty fish are not leader shy. Lots of barnacles and occassionally some monster kings get hooked. When a fish takes your bobber down reel until you feel like your actually reeling the fish in then set the hook!

The second week of August through Labor Day weekend is usually prime time for the jetty.

Good Luck,
