Well now, if you ever find yourself down by Bandon, Oregon, and you got a hankerin’ for fishin’, let me tell ya, you won’t be disappointed! The fishin’ around here is mighty fine, no matter what kinda fish you’re lookin’ to catch. Folks come from all over just to try their luck, and there’s somethin’ for everyone. Whether you’re just sittin’ on the dock and tryin’ to catch a crab or headin’ out on a big ol’ boat to chase after salmon, it’s all here for ya.
Now, there’s a few good spots ya oughta know about. The Coquille River is one o’ the best places to catch salmon. You’ll find them swimmin’ all over, and if you’re lucky, you might reel in a big ol’ one. If you’re more into catchin’ trout or steelhead, there’s plenty of that too. Some people like to fish in the Bandon Marsh, which is a big ol’ wildlife refuge. It’s open durin’ daylight hours, and folks say it’s mighty peaceful there with the sound of the water and the birds chirpin’. They let ya fish for all kinds of things there, like steelhead, cutthroat trout, striped bass, and even surfperch.
But don’t think Bandon is just about fishin’ in the river, no ma’am. The ocean’s right there too, and you can go out on one o’ them fancy boats, maybe for crabs or even try fishin’ from the beach. The locals know where the good spots are, so if you find someone who knows, just ask ‘em where the fish are bitin’ the best. And if you’re real lucky, maybe you’ll catch yourself a big ol’ surfperch, just like the folks who been fishin’ these parts for years.
If you’re more of a land-based fisher, well, there’s places nearby too. I hear the Sheep and Highwood Rivers are mighty good for fishin’. They got trout and all sorts of other fish just waitin’ to be caught. There’s also places like the Elbow River and Jumpingpound Creek, and I reckon even the Ghost River might surprise ya with some fine fishin’. If you ask around, you might even find a little creek somewhere close to Bandon where the fish bite real easy.
The weather around here can get real nice, especially in the summer, so that’s a good time to pack up your gear and head out. Summer 2024 is comin’ up fast, and I reckon it’s gonna be a great time for fishin’ down here. You can go on a charter and pay around $115 per person for a trip, and trust me, that’s a good price for a full day out on the water. A lot of folks say the reviews are real good too, so if you’re lookin’ to fish with some pros, that’s a fine option.
It ain’t all just about catchin’ the big ones either. The fun’s in the tryin’, don’t ya know? You can fish for all sorts of trout, charr, and even those little brook trout, which is always a good time. So whether you’re fishin’ with a fancy boat or sittin’ on the bank with a simple rod, there’s always somethin’ to catch in Bandon.
Now, if you ain’t sure where to start, just follow the river, or ask the folks in town. The locals are always ready to help a newbie get started. They’ll tell ya where the fish are bite’n, and maybe even share a story or two ‘bout the big ones they’ve caught in the past. But the best part is, no matter how much fishin’ you do, you’re always gonna have a good time down here by the water. So pack up that rod, grab some bait, and head on down to Bandon. It’s fishin’ like ya ain’t ever seen before!
