I'm new to ocean fishing, but I figured I try and pick up on fishing rock fish and work on up to lingcod this season. Went out to the south jetty in Westport about 6:30 this morning, walked about about 1/3 of the way and rigged up a 4oz dart jig with a small rubber minnow on the hook. I was out until the tide started coming back out, and I left without getting a single bite. Am I doing something wrong with my rig, not going out far enough, or was it maybe a bit too rough on the ocean (it was definitely not calm out). Any tips are greatly appreciated, I really don't know what I'm doing in salt water, lol.
