Halibut
Halibut fishing near Seaside, Oregon, is a pursuit that rewards persistence and careful planning. These flatfish migrate into the coastal waters during the warmer months, typically from May through September. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near rocky structures, as these are prime feeding grounds. Popular techniques include using large jigs tipped with bait or drifting with circle hooks baited with herring or salmon bellies. Be prepared for deep-water fishing, often in depths of 200 feet or more. The Garibaldi boat basin is a popular launch point for Halibut anglers, providing access to the productive waters off the coast. The Halibut here can reach impressive sizes, so make sure you have the appropriate gear and a solid fighting belt. Remember to check the regulations for size and bag limits before heading out. Tides are crucial; slack tides often produce the best bites.
