Why Fish Out of Hammond Oregon?
Hammond sits at the west end of the Columbia River near the Pacific Ocean. The location gives anglers fast access to productive fishing water without long boat runs. During salmon season, many anglers choose Hammond because it provides quick access to Buoy 10, the Columbia River mouth, and nearby coastal fishing areas.
The Hammond area is also close to Fort Stevens State Park, the South Jetty, Warrenton, and the famous Astoria-Megler Bridge.
Unlike larger tourist areas, Hammond has a quieter working-waterfront atmosphere built around commercial fishing, marinas, and boating access.
Port of Hammond Marina
The Port of Hammond Marina is one of the most important launch points on the Oregon side of the lower Columbia River.
The marina provides fast access to:
- Buoy 10 salmon fishing areas
- The Columbia River shipping channel
- Lower Columbia River sturgeon water
- The Columbia River mouth
- Oregon Coast crabbing opportunities
Because of its location near the Pacific Ocean, Hammond is often one of the first places anglers target when salmon begin staging near the Columbia River mouth.
Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing Near Hammond
Hammond is one of the top starting points for the famous Buoy 10 salmon fishery. Every August and early fall, Chinook and Coho salmon move through the lower Columbia River as they return inland.
Many productive Buoy 10 fishing areas are located only minutes from Hammond Marina, which allows anglers to spend more time fishing and less time running long distances.
Buoy 10 season is one of the biggest fishing draws on the Oregon Coast and brings anglers from all over the Pacific Northwest to the Hammond, Astoria, Warrenton, and lower Columbia River area.
Sturgeon Fishing Near Hammond Oregon
The lower Columbia River near Hammond also offers outstanding sturgeon fishing opportunities throughout different times of the year.
Depending on current regulations, anglers may target catch-and-release sturgeon or retention fisheries when open.
You can learn more on my Columbia River sturgeon fishing guide page.
Crabbing Near Hammond and Fort Stevens
Hammond is also well known for fall and winter crabbing opportunities. During productive crab seasons, Marvin’s Guide Service offers guided Dungeness crab trips near Hammond, Fort Stevens, and the lower Columbia estuary.
Late fall is often one of the best times to crab when the crab are full and ocean conditions allow safe access.
