Jetty rocks are slick, uneven, and exposed to sneaker waves and boat wakes—falls and injuries occur every summer despite great fish stories. Many experienced locals prefer planked piers with rails. If you must fish rocks, wear grippy footwear, never turn your back on the sea, and skip high swell days.
