Halibut
Halibut fishing out of Bay City, Oregon, can be incredibly rewarding. The key to success here is understanding the migration patterns and preferred feeding grounds of these flatfish. The season typically opens in the spring and runs through the summer. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or gravelly bottoms in depths of 200-400 feet, particularly where there are significant changes in depth. Halibut are ambush predators, so look for areas where they can lie in wait for prey. Using large, scented baits like herring or salmon bellies is essential. A practical tip: Pay close attention to the tides, as halibut often feed more actively during tidal changes. The Garibaldi boat ramp offers easy access to the bay and ocean, but be sure to check bar conditions before heading out. Remember, halibut fishing regulations are strict, so always consult the latest Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife guidelines.
