What type of saltwater fishing interests you?
They all interest me but Tuna tops the list.

I voted for halibut. To tell you the truth, I would love to fish for all of them but won't hold my breath.

All of the above but I am not interested in eating shark...fishing near or on the salt is one of my favorite! I don't get seasick either! Ok so I had to voted tuna because I have yet to catch a tuna. I have yet to catch a shark but I am sure it wouldn't be too hard...depending on size.

All the above except sharks. My son and I caught on out by the south end of the rock pile a few years back. We boated it, looked at each other, like what the heck are we going to do now, then dumped it back over into the sea. Of course that was the right thing to do because we foul hooked it! The thing I enjoy about ocean fishing is the shear opportunity to go after for a wide selection of fish. It's hard to have a favorite but if I were forced to it would be salmon because as a kid that was what we fished for. My first open ocean trip was on the Jimco out of Depoe Bay in July of 1961. I caught a silver and my brother caught a chinook. After that I was hooked for life.

I am planning on targeting them for sport this summer. I have bought specific gear and plan on going for it. Mostly Blues in our waters which will all be released. If we manage to get a Thresher, Salmon Shark or Mako it will become steaks.

I know you're talking about fishing from a boats and I have been on a few charters for tuna , halibut, and bottom fish. I've mostly fished from shore, though, so bottom fish have been the main target. I love them all.

I pay for a Halibut tag yearly, but never ever have fished for them! Hmmm (love Oregon) Guess Halibut.

well sort of, the Combined Angling Tag covers salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and pacific halibut...so you don't pay extra for halibut, it is 'tossed in' with your salmon/steelhead tag...

You are wasting your money then! They are good eats.

I'm just saying, I don't recall paying $26.50, back when it was just a Salmon/Steelhead tag. I get my moneys worth out of the tag, but I would rather have a set of Ginsu knives "tossed in", rather than Halibut and Sturgeon

I think you are going to get your wish, well not the Ginsu knife set but according to Bill Monroe's article in todays paper they are going to remove halibut and sturgeon from the tag and charge more for it. They (ODF&W) then will create a seperate halibut and sturgeon tag that you can pay for. At least now they won't be mixing in white fish with salmon anymore. This is scheduled to happen in the next budget cycle. There is good news for senior citizens too the pioneer fishing license that you used to get if you were 65 or older and lived in the state for 50 years, ODF&W wants to start charging for that too. So the real good news is you won't have to have halibut on a salmon tag anymore and you can just fish for salmon.

For some good news the ocean might be settling down up here on Thursday and we might get a solid chance at going after some halibut. If that fails to happen I'm going to hit the river and target starry flounder. Not the same as a halibut but at least they look similar. Other goood news is that north of cape falcon on May 31 to June 13th we will be allowed to hit the ocean and and keep two fin clipped chinook. That changes on June 14 to one chinook and one fin clipped coho or two fin clipped coho. Now we are back to the real point of the thread what do folks prefer to fish for. Troll deep for chinook or up top for silvers.............

Definitely deep for Chinook. In fact I added downriggers just for this last year but have yet to get a fish while running them.

Jigging for sea bass in the bay, near the jetty.
