California Halibut

Various

Westport, Washington, is a prime location for targeting California halibut along the Pacific coast. The nearshore waters and offshore banks offer excellent habitat and abundant forage fish, attracting these flatfish. The best time to fish for California halibut in Westport is typically from May through September, when the water is warmer and the fish are more active. Focus your efforts around areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, especially near structure like drop-offs and underwater humps. Charter boats are readily available and offer a great way to access the offshore fishing grounds. If you're fishing from your own boat, Westport Marina provides convenient launching facilities. A key local tip is to pay attention to tidal movements, as halibut often feed aggressively during periods of strong current.
