About Deep Sea Fishing Fishing in Port Angeles
Port Angeles, Washington offers some of the finest deep sea fishing fishing on the Gulf Coast. Port Angeles sits on the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the base of the Olympic Mountains, providing a perfect interception point for salmon runs entering Puget Sound. Halibut fishing on the eastern strait banks is excellent, and the town's harbor offers comfortable departures for half-day and full-day charters targeting salmon, halibut, lingcod, and bottom fish. The deep sea fishing waters here — deep Gulf waters beyond the continental shelf, blue water, and offshore reefs — provide world-class angling opportunities that draw fishermen from across the country.

Port Angeles Halibut Grounds
The offshore halibut grounds in the Strait of Juan de Fuca north of Port Angeles hold Pacific halibut over sandy bottom in 200 to 400 feet, accessible during the summer open season. Port Angeles's central strait position provides access to quality halibut fishing with shorter runs than western ports.

Strait of Juan de Fuca Deep
The deep central waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca north of Port Angeles hold Chinook salmon during their migration to and from Puget Sound rivers. Downrigger trolling in the strait's deep water produces quality Chinook throughout the season.
Eastern Bank
Eastern Bank in the Strait of Juan de Fuca east of Port Angeles is an underwater plateau where Pacific halibut and lingcod concentrate over hard bottom. The bank's position provides an alternative halibut destination for Port Angeles boats during the summer open season.
