Anglers have reported catching (and releasing) hatchery coho in the Charleston area before the season opened. As of June 17, there is 24 percent of the All Depth Halibut quota remaining. The nearshore halibut season (inside 40 fathoms) is now open seven days a week except when there are All Depth Halibut days. As of June 18, there is 86 percent of the Nearshore quota remaining. Recreational harvest of razor clams is closed on the entire Oregon coast due to ele- vated levels of domoic acid. The recreational harvesting of mussels is open along the entire Oregon Coast from the Columbia River to the California border. Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates. Surf perch fishing has been good when ocean swells are small. Surf perch anglers will do the best fishing with sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp sand worms. Fishing is typically best on the incoming tide.
