Halibut
Halibut fishing out of Lincoln City can be an incredibly rewarding experience. While not as consistently productive as some other Oregon ports, it offers a chance at landing a true trophy. The key is timing your trip to coincide with the peak of their migration, typically during the spring and early summer months when they move closer to shore to feed. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near rocky reefs or drop-offs, as these tend to hold concentrations of baitfish. Natural presentations, such as large jigs or bait rigs tipped with herring or salmon, are highly effective. A local tip is to pay close attention to the tides and currents, as halibut often prefer to feed during slack tide. Always check the regulations, as halibut seasons and size limits can change frequently. The Dory Boat ramp is a popular launch point.
