With summer just around the corner, beach activities are picking up. Whether you are planning a fun family day at the beach or fishing for salmon and bottom fish there are several opportunities.
Salmon fishing has become a hot topic, with a weak coho return due to warmer than normal water temps in the north Pacific Ocean, there was talk of no fishing at all but WDFW has set a limited season for Salmon.
Recreational Ocean salmon fishing for Chinook will open beginning July 1st in all 4 marine areas. The daily limit and species of salmon will be dependant on which marine area you are fishing. Some have limited coho catches while other may require you to release all coho. Be sure to check with WDFW regarding their 2016 rules and regulations and what the limits are per salmon species.
For anglers who enjoy all kinds of fishing and want to get out on the ocean, there are also trips for Halibut, ling cod other types of bottom fish (beginning May 1st in certain Marine areas) and later Tuna fishing. Some charters offer salmon fishing the morning and bottom fishing in the afternoons.
Book your trips early with one of the Westport charter boats. Daily trips are available, but if you like salmon plan on booking your trips early as the season could be cut short once quotas are met.
