However, I haven't seen a picture yet that would prove those claims. Someone commented that sizes in the 20-22 inches are common around Gold Beach area. People have also reported to me that redtails are much bigger as you move south past Bandon.

This beach is close to Cape Lookout so you can hop beaches if one spot is slow. You can drive your vehicle on the beach here. Bullards Beach is in Bandon (🔰 see map).Īnother good spot is Tierra Del Mar (🔰 see Google map here). I've fished Bullards Beach a few times and did really well there too. 🔰 See Google map of Gearhart - you are allowed to drive on the beach here.Īnother one is Barview Jetty, the north beach at that jetty, not the jetty itself. I don't go there much often due to them being too far from Corvallis. I've yet to get skunked at those beaches. 🔰 see map.įor further up north, Seaside, Gearhart, Sunset Beach are good. South Beach is another area you can try, people have report to me that they do well there. Here are just some beaches that I fish, not that they are good, but just the fact that they are close to me since I (used to) live in Corvallis. Use the 5-5 rule: 5 fan casts or 5 minutes, then move if you don't get any bites. Also, move around - a lot! These redtails are super mobile. Just go back to it a few days or weeks later, and most likely, they are there. Sometimes, you go to a beach and you didn't catch any. They are everywhere from northern CAL to Washington.Īny white sandy beaches in Oregon will have them. It's really not complicated, there's no magical beach that has the most redtails. I think this is the best place for beginners to go because it's usually good, and it has a lot of sand crabs (during the summer months), and the beach is very close to the parking lot.īoy, I sure do get this question a lot. Seal Rock is a good spot, and you can park at Curtis Street parking where the beach is really close to the lot for easy walking.

Parking is free at Ona, and the walk to the beach is a little far. This is probably one of the best known spot for surf fishing because I hold my summer surf fishing tournament here every year. Again, poor success rate are not indicative of a bad beach - you just have to come back another time. Ona Beach, Seal Rock, Lost Creek, and Driftwood Beach are all good.

One thing to note about Nye Beach/Dawn Davis park is that it can get a lot of traffic, especially during the summer when vacationers are out in full force. However, I haven't been able to duplicate that success. I actually had my BEST day at Nye beach a few years ago. Newport beaches such as Nye Beach/Dawn Davis park area. If you fish in the bay, the best time to catch them is late spring and early summer. One of my best trip ever happened in late November, and another time in September, and July. I think the most important thing with redtails is just moving around until you find them.Īlso, when is the best time to go surf fishing on the Oregon coast? There is no 'best' time because these fish can be caught year round.

Also, move around - a lot! These redtails are mobile. There's no magical beach that has the most redtails. The #1 question I get from people is where to go surf fishing on the Oregon coast. This post will be updated from time to time.
