important to me that nearshore is open 7 days a week from May1 to Oct31, as I need to hit really good conditions to chase them from a kayak, but critical is that they approve the recommendation to allow normal marine bag (2 lingcod + 5 rockfish) in addition to a pacific halibut. the last piece of the puzzle for me is to zero in on some locations OFF of Newport or CoosBay, within say 3 miles of shore, where I can drop my crab pots, get my lings/rocks first and then drift for a halibut bonus.
