We have picked the weekend of July 16th in the hopes of hitting one of the weekend Halibut catch periods. Pacific Coast Halibut is regulated and limited to 3 or 4 weekends only during the summer months. In 2009 this same weekend saw some nice Halibut catches. Pictures are from the docks at Yaquina Bay Charters.

After the Feds shut down the Salmon Fishing business on the Pacific Coast in 2008, Captains and Anglers are anxiously awaiting the news for 2009. Rumor has it the limit may be set to 3 per person. Which is 3 more then 2008
