Fishery Targets
Bayfront and jetty groundfish and perch follow current Marine Zone rules. Ocean salmon, albacore, and Pacific halibut are season-managed. Yaquina is named among ODFW's best year-round crab bays; crab is not a species-selector ID.
This reflects typical biological/fishery timing, not a legal open season. Check current regulations before fishing.

Access, Safety and Regulations
Access
Bay St. Pier, Abbey St. Pier, and the public pier near the Rogue Brewery. Boat crabbing throughout the bay except the main navigation channel. Catalog coordinates are NOAA 9435380.
Primary hazards
Watch jetty surge, boat traffic, and navigation-channel restrictions.
Fishery considerations
Catalog coordinates are that NOAA station. This is the Yaquina / Newport fishing unit, not a local waverider identity.
Bar and north-jetty conditions can close safe access in swell even when South Beach tide looks usable.
Regulations
Size limits, seasons, and possession rules change. Verify the current official regulations before fishing.
The map marker represents the cataloged waterbody or monitoring location and may not indicate legal parking or public access. Confirm access through the official information before visiting.
