Dover Sole
Westport, Washington, provides access to some excellent Dover sole fishing in the Pacific Ocean. This area is known for its strong currents and deep waters, which are prime habitat for these flatfish. The best time to target Dover sole off Westport is typically during the summer and early fall months (June-October) when the weather is more stable and the seas are calmer, allowing for safer and more comfortable offshore fishing. To be successful, use heavy weights to ensure your bait reaches the bottom and stays there despite the currents. Popular bait choices include herring, squid, and other oily fish. A good starting point is to look for areas with sandy or muddy bottoms in depths of 200-400 feet. Consider using a fish finder to locate promising bottom structure or concentrations of fish. The Westport Marina offers several charter options and boat launch facilities. Be sure to check the marine forecast before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly.
