For the 2025 Halibut Fishing Season, Marvin’s Guide Service will offer charter fishing expeditions from the ports of Astoria, Depoe Bay, and Tillamook, Oregon. Catching this powerful flatfish is a great adventure. Whether on the North Oregon or Central Oregon coasts, these fish don’t stand a chance. Fishing out of the Astoria, Warrenton, and Hammond areas on the North Oregon coast, and Garibaldi and Newport locations on the Central Coast, Halibut cannot hide.
