Bat Ray
Newport, Oregon, offers a chance to encounter Bat Rays in Yaquina Bay and along the adjacent coastline. Though not as abundant as in Southern California, they are present, especially during the warmer months. The peak season for targeting Bat Rays in Newport is late summer into early fall (August-October) when the water temperatures are at their highest. Focus your efforts in the shallow, muddy areas of Yaquina Bay, particularly near the Highway 101 bridge and the South Beach area. A great local tip is to use ghost shrimp or clam necks as bait and fish during the incoming tide, as this brings fresh saltwater and food into the bay. You can launch boats from several ramps around Yaquina Bay, but be mindful of the strong currents and tidal changes. Bat Rays in this area are typically smaller than those found further south, but they can still offer a challenging fight, especially on lighter tackle. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific restrictions.
