Halibut
Neah Bay offers anglers a gateway to some of the Pacific Northwest's most productive Halibut fishing grounds. Its proximity to the open ocean and productive bottom structures makes it a key departure point. Halibut season typically runs from spring through early fall, with specific dates varying each year. Focus your efforts on areas with strong tidal currents and bottom structure, such as ridges and depressions. Large jigs tipped with bait, or whole fish like herring or salmon bellies, are common choices. A crucial tip is to use heavy weights to maintain bottom contact in the strong currents. The waters west of Neah Bay are known for producing some very large Halibut, but be prepared for long runs and challenging conditions. Always check the latest regulations and quota information before heading out.
