STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

The Hump at 44.48456, -124.36879 is a rocky pinnacle rising from the outer, exposed waters off Newport, Oregon, holding structure across a depth range of 145 to 195 feet. Pacific Halibut are the primary draw, peaking from March through July, while Lingcod fishing runs strongest in February and March and Chinook Salmon move through from May into September. The pinnacle also supports a rockfish community that includes Yelloweye, Quillback, and Canary, along with Sablefish and Pacific Cod holding near the rock. Anglers work the halibut by drift fishing herring, salmon bellies, octopus, or squid over the deeper edges, and switch to jigging metal jigs or swimbaits for Lingcod tight to the pinnacle. Chinook Salmon are targeted by trolling cut-plug herring, anchovies, or flashers with hoochies through the water column above the structure.
