Summer All-Depth Halibut Expanded Season

Fresh off the press from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

 

Summer All-Depth Halibut to be Open Daily

The Central Oregon Coast subarea (Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain) summer all-depth halibut fishery will remain open seven days per week Aug. 1-Oct. 31 or until the quota is met.

As happened with the spring all-depth fishery, high winds and rough seas during the season have caused bar restrictions and/or bar closures up and down the Central Oregon Coast, severely limiting the number of anglers able (or willing) to participate in the fishery. With a large amount of quota remaining, keeping the season open seven days per week allows anglers more opportunity to harvest halibut when the weather is favorable.
