Halibut
Halibut fishing out of Coos Bay can be incredibly rewarding. While the season is relatively short, typically running from May through early fall, the potential for landing a barn door is high. The key is to target areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near structure, such as underwater humps or drop-offs. Large jigs tipped with bait, or whole herring on a spreader bar, are popular choices. Pay close attention to the tides, as halibut often feed more actively during slack tide. A practical tip: the waters off of Cape Arago are known for holding halibut, but be prepared for potentially rough conditions. The Charleston boat basin offers a convenient launch point. Be sure to have the appropriate gear, including heavy tackle and a large net or harpoon. Halibut in this area are known for their impressive size and delicious meat.
