Hey guys,
I just moved to Port Orford, OR about 2 months ago. I love it here, and have just started getting serious about diving around here. I have quite a bit of experience spearfishing in the Great Lakes, as I am from Wisconsin. I've gone to several really nice looking areas around here and seem to have trouble finding any rockfish. They are my favorite fish to eat...and I seem to have no problem finding kelp greenling and surfperch. Does anyone know where they are this time of year? I am just snorkeling, and don't have a boat. My limit is about 25 feet, which from what I have heard is deep enough to find them. What sort of habitat should I be looking for? Is there a better tide to go on? Thanks for any help!
Matt
