California Halibut
Newport, Oregon, offers anglers excellent opportunities to target California halibut in the Pacific Ocean. The waters off Newport are known for their productive halibut grounds, particularly around reefs and sandy bottom areas. The peak season generally runs from May through September, with the warmer summer months being especially productive. Consider focusing your efforts on areas near Yaquina Bay or further offshore where the ocean floor is uneven, as halibut often lie in wait for prey near these structures. Newport has several charter operators that provide guided halibut fishing trips. If you're bringing your own boat, the Port of Newport offers launching ramps and ample parking. A practical tip is to use a fish finder to locate areas with baitfish activity, as halibut are often found nearby. Be sure to check the marine forecast before heading out, as ocean conditions can change rapidly.
