Halibut
Halibut fishing near Cannon Beach requires a bit of a run, but the rewards can be substantial. These flatfish prefer sandy or muddy bottoms in deeper water. The best time to target them is during the spring and summer months when the ocean is calmer. Drifting with large baits, such as herring or salmon bellies, is a common technique. Use heavy weights to keep your bait on the bottom. Focus your efforts in areas with known halibut concentrations, often marked on nautical charts. Be sure to check the ODFW regulations for specific seasons, size limits, and gear restrictions. Launching from Garibaldi or Tillamook Bay provides access to the most productive halibut grounds. Keep a close eye on the weather, as ocean conditions can change quickly and impact your ability to fish safely.
