About Baltimore Rock

Baltimore Rock is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off off Charleston, Oregon, where the bottom falls from roughly 330 to 1,310 feet. The deepwater structure draws Chinook and Coho Salmon from June through September, while Pacific Halibut hold along the drop from May through September and Lingcod stack up over the rock from December through March. Black and Blue Rockfish concentrate here as well, with black rockfish peaking June through September and blue rockfish from April through August. Anglers troll cut-plug herring, whole herring, and spoons for salmon, drift herring, squid, and octopus over the deeper break for halibut, and work metal jigs and swimbaits for lingcod and rockfish along the rock. Cabezon fill out the winter fishery from November through January, taking leadhead jigs with swimbaits and shrimp flies close to the structure.
