News # 13829
The Central Oregon Coast Subarea (Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain) summer all-depth Pacific halibut season is expanding to be open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. These added openings give anglers additional opportunity to harvest the halibut quota.
The next halibut fishing opening will be August 27-29, and continue every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until the quota is caught or October 31.
The bottomfish fishery opens to all depths beginning September 1, 2020. Bycatch impacts to yelloweye rockfish have been low enough so far this year that beginning on September 1, all-depth halibut anglers may retain bottomfish on the same trip.
