Best places to fish in Newport

26 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Newport works out of Yaquina Bay on the central Oregon coast, and its fleet covers just about everything the Pacific offers here. Charters run bottom fishing trips for rockfish and lingcod over the nearshore reefs, Dungeness crab combos that pair fishing with pulling pots, and seasonal salmon trips for chinook and coho. When conditions allow, boats push out for Pacific halibut, and in late summer the albacore tuna show up on the warm-water blue lines offshore, a long but hard-fighting run. Everything leaves from Newport's working waterfront, past the sea lions and under the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Ocean conditions and bar crossings drive the schedule, so seasons and departures shift with the weather. Confirm the target species, trip length and what is included before booking.
