Rockfish
The waters surrounding Deer Island provide ample opportunities to target Rockfish, though the specific species may vary depending on depth and location. Anglers can find rockfish both in the Columbia River estuary and nearshore ocean waters. Look for rocky reefs, jetties, and submerged structure that provide shelter and ambush points for these bottom-dwelling fish. Spring and summer offer the most consistent fishing, with calmer weather and active fish. Vertical jigging with brightly colored lures or using bait rigs with shrimp or squid is effective. A practical tip for fishing the estuary: pay attention to the tidal flow. Rockfish often congregate on the down-current side of structures. Always check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific species restrictions, depth limitations, and gear requirements, as these can vary significantly.
