Vermilion Rockfish
Newport, Oregon, serves as a fantastic gateway to some of the best Vermilion Rockfish action on the Pacific Coast. The nearshore reefs and rocky outcroppings, easily accessible with a relatively short boat ride, teem with these colorful fish. The late summer and early fall months, from August through October, generally offer the most consistent fishing due to calmer seas and active feeding patterns. The Newport bayfront has several charter options if you prefer a guided experience. For those with their own boats, the public boat ramp at the Port of Newport provides convenient access. A valuable local tip: pay attention to the tides. Fishing during slack tide can be particularly productive as the fish tend to be less scattered. Jigs tipped with bait or curly-tail grubs are effective, and don't be afraid to experiment with bright colors. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific closures or restrictions in the area, as these can change seasonally.
