Halibut
Halibut fishing out of Port Orford can be a rewarding experience, with the potential for landing some truly impressive fish. The waters off the southern Oregon coast offer access to productive halibut grounds. The season typically runs from spring through early fall, with specific dates varying each year, so check the regulations carefully. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near underwater structure, such as canyons or drop-offs. Use large jigs, bait rigs with salmon or herring, or even spreader bars. A local tip: pay close attention to the tides and currents, as halibut often congregate in areas where bait is concentrated. Be prepared for a long day on the water and bring plenty of weight to hold your bait on the bottom in the strong currents.
