Habitat: Kelp greelings can be found to depths of 150 feet. They prefer rocky inshore areas and are common in kelp beds and on sand bottoms.

Technique: It is best to target kelp greenlings by placing a line near the base of structures such as rocky shorelines, pilings, or in kelp forests during an incoming tide. They like clams, worms, sand shrimp, and mussels as bait.
