Sunset Bay Fishing

I have fished off Sunset Bay many times and never seem to have a lot of luck.  I'm not sure if it's the tides, gear, or what.  Still, it's a great place to tool around regardless of if the fish are biting, but i was hoping for some hints or suggestions.  I don't have a fish finder, but other than that am pretty well geared up.  Thanks.

Hey GS, Welcome to NWKA. You live in the Coos Bay area? Occasionally i have not had too good of luck at Sunset but i usually limit out, or could limit out if i wanted to keep that many.  The closer you get to the rocks and kelp is better, Rootbeer,white and black scampi's are the best IMHO, but bait(herring,squid) works pretty good too. I like to fish on the outside of the rocks to the south but have caught a keeper Ling cod in 10 feet of water just on the outside of the calm water of the bay. Next time you go out give me a holler and i'll go out with ya and show you some of my favorite spots.

Thanks for the info.  I live in the Medford area, so I don't get up to Sunset Bay as much as I'd like to.  I would be interested in heading out there with you to see where the fishing is good or at the very least connect with some other kayakers.
