January is a great time to explore the Oregon Coast. Just be careful to dodge the winter storms! The rivers promise Sturgeon and Steelhead, while the bays offer excellent bottom fishing for Lingcod and Rockfish.

No matter where you find yourself on the Oregon Coast at this time of year, rest assured there’s something to hook into! Try crabbing and bottom fishing in the bays or test the coastal rivers for winter Steelhead.

March is a great time to cast a few lines from the jetties for Surfperch, Herring, and large Lingcod. You can still find good crabbing opportunities in Netarts Bay. Elsewhere, Spring Chinook are entering the Columbia River.

April is full of possibilities, including the last of the winter Steelhead and the first of the Spring Chinook. Many locals are digging around the beaches and bay flats for Clams. Bottom fishing near shore is top notch.

Halibut season is open, offering up some of Oregon's best bottom fishing opportunities. Lingcod and other deep dwellers are biting hard, too. Surf fishing and clamming on the beaches keep you busy on shore.

June is an excellent time to hit the Columbia River for big Chinook Salmon and “dinosaur” Sturgeon weighing hundreds of pounds. Halibut are potentially still open to harvest out on the Pacific, too. 

If regulations allow, July can be a great time to target Coho Salmon offshore as they head toward the Columbia River. Casting lines off the coast may also bring you Halibut or Albacore Tuna.

The Buoy 10 Fishery in Astoria has many anglers rushing to the Columbia River for fall Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead. At the same time, deep sea fishermen are heading 20 to 40 miles offshore for Tuna.

There’s plenty to keep you preoccupied in the rivers and bays. Head offshore to catch the last of the Tuna run or get a taste of the region’s Dungeness Crab fishing opportunities.

By now, Salmon fishing is largely limited to Oregon’s coastal bays and rivers. You can expect superb crabbing at this time of year. Trophy Sturgeon hunters will be following the fish upstream from Astoria.

If the weather and regulations allow, November is a great time to head into the bays for some of the year’s best crabbing and Rockfishing opportunities. There’s also lots of clamming and surf fishing potential on shore.

Winter fishing on the coast of Oregon is all about bottom fish, Steelhead, and Sturgeon. For those willing to brave the weather, excellent crabbing awaits offshore.
