What can you fish for in Newport?
Fishing opportunities change by season, ocean conditions, and regulations, but Newport gives anglers access to several popular Oregon Coast trips.
Bottom Fishing
Bottom fishing is one of the most popular Newport trips. These trips often target rockfish and lingcod and are a great option for anglers who want steady action and good eating fish.
Lingcod
Newport is known for strong lingcod opportunities. Lingcod are aggressive, hard-fighting fish, and they are one of the top targets for many ocean anglers.
Salmon
When the season is open and the fish are moving, Newport can offer excellent salmon fishing. Don watches conditions, timing, and fish movement to help give anglers the best shot possible.
Halibut
Halibut trips are seasonal and depend on regulations and availability. When conditions line up, these can be some of the most exciting trips of the year.
Crabbing
Depending on the trip and season, crabbing may also be available. Ask Don what options are currently available when you call.
