I'd personally rather rockhop the South jetty than the Fort Canby or Ocean Shores jetties. Those latter two have something in common, they are designed to have very steep sides. Both are more difficult to walk than the Westport jetty. Also, at the Fort Canby jetty there are a few too many rocks covered with a nice film of slick algae that can be far more treacherous than navigating the cavernous holes of the Westport jetty.

A word of warning, if you are having to carry a lot of equipment with you and/or end up with a large load of fish, you might want to reconsider going out there if it is windy. You would not believe how much the wind can affect your balance when rockhopping. Also be careful if there has been fog around, because the rocks become slick. If it is raining just the slightest bit, I pray that you use good judgement and only go as far as it is safe to walk, otherwise you may become a fixture of the jetty or the ocean. Always give yourself plenty of time to walk the jetty, because one wrong step could lead to something regrettable.

If you are fishing for lingcod, it is a good idea to keep in mind that you want to be fishing from a spot where it is not hard to land a big fish. A dunking or loss of balance could result in serious injury. Please play it safe at all times while you're having fun fishing.
