Blue Rockfish
Newport, Oregon, offers excellent access to some of the Pacific Northwest's best Blue Rockfish grounds. The nearshore reefs and rocky structures around Yaquina Bay and south towards Seal Rock provide ideal habitat. The summer and early fall months are generally the most productive, with calmer seas allowing for easier boat access. Several charter operations run out of Newport, offering guided trips to prime rockfish locations. For those fishing from shore, try the jetties at the mouth of Yaquina Bay or the rocky areas near Otter Rock. A local tip: use scent attractants on your lures or bait to increase your chances of a hookup, as the water can sometimes be murky. Be aware of bar closures at Yaquina Bay, as they can be frequent depending on the weather. The rockfish in this area tend to be robust and hard-fighting due to the strong currents.
