English Sole
Newport, Oregon offers some excellent opportunities to target English Sole, particularly in Yaquina Bay and the nearshore waters of the Pacific. These flatfish are most accessible and abundant from late spring through early fall, when the ocean is calmer and the sole move closer to shore to feed. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottoms, as these are prime feeding grounds. A productive technique is drifting a baited rig just off the bottom; sand shrimp, clam necks, or small pieces of worm are all effective baits. The South Beach boat ramp provides good access to Yaquina Bay, but be mindful of strong currents, especially during tidal changes. Local tip: try fishing near the channel edges where the current concentrates food. The sole in this area are known to be good-sized, often exceeding 16 inches.
