Halibut
Halibut fishing out of Long Beach can be an unforgettable experience, offering the chance to land a true trophy. The waters off the Washington coast are known for their healthy Halibut population. The season is tightly regulated, typically opening for short periods in the spring and summer, so check the regulations carefully before planning your trip. Focus your efforts on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms near underwater structures or drop-offs. Large jigs or baited circle hooks are the go-to methods. A local's insight: pay attention to tidal currents, as Halibut often congregate in areas where currents concentrate baitfish. Also, be prepared for a long day on the water, as Halibut fishing often requires traveling several miles offshore. The Halibut in this area are known for their impressive size, with many fish exceeding 100 pounds.
