Halibut
Halibut fishing near Deer Island requires venturing out into the Pacific, but the rewards can be substantial. This area provides access to productive halibut grounds, particularly during the established fishing seasons, which are carefully managed. Success hinges on targeting areas with relatively flat, sandy or muddy bottoms in depths ranging from 200 to 400 feet. Using heavy tackle and large baits, such as herring or salmon bellies, is essential to attract these powerful fish. A crucial local tip is to pay close attention to the tide charts and fish during periods of slack tide, as strong currents can make it difficult to maintain bottom contact. Popular access points include boat ramps in nearby coastal towns. Always prioritize safety by checking weather conditions and ensuring your vessel is properly equipped for offshore fishing. Be sure to consult the latest ODFW regulations for season dates, size limits, and gear restrictions, as they can change annually.
