Fishing Fleet In Yaquina Bay

Newport, Oregon on the Central Coast boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon. There is easy access and, a fairly tame bar to cross to get to the Pacific Ocean. 

Good fishing and crabbing makes for an excellent port for the fisherman. Yaquina Bay and the Yaquina Bay Bridge are in the background. 

You can tell by the static crab rings on the boats that crabbing is at a standstill and many boats are in port.

This is a photograph that I have added texture to give a unique painting effect.

Crab Trap Art

This nostalgic fishing boat is getting ready to go out into the Pacific and catch some Dungeness Crab! The crab rings (traps) are sitting out on the deck.

They are ready to be thrown overboard, once they are out in the ocean and, have found the right place to catch crab...usually close to shore.

The Crabbers use fish carcasses to lure crabs into the traps. Dungeness Crab is one of the best eating in the world.

The setting is in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Port Art

"Buy Your Crab Here!"  Chances are the fishing/crab boats are just returning after a night's fishing and crabbing off the Oregon Coast.

The scene is Dock 5 in Yaquina Bay, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Newport has the largest fishing fleet in Oregon.

Plenty of room to moor and, a rather safe bar to cross into the Pacific Ocean makes fishing and crabbing more feasible than many other locations on the Oregon Coast.

Buoys And Crab Ring Wall Art

Buoys intermingled with crab rings! The setting is a bay front on the Oregon Coast early in the morning with the minimum of sunlight.

Fishing boats are preparing to go out and set the crab rings not far from shore in the Pacific. It's a lot of hard work throwing the crab rings overboard and retrieving them hours later.

Every crabber has there own distinctive buoys so that they know who's is what!

Port Of Newport Dock No 7

You can visit many docksides, here and there but, you will find that the ones in Newport on the Oregon Coast are working docks. This means that the fishing boats are not just for show, they go out to sea and catch fish and crab and bring them back to the dockside canneries.  Lots of hard work!

Usually, during fishing and  crabbing seasons these docks are a beehive of activity. When this scene was captured the bar and seas were rough and everyone was in port. Don't let the blue sky fool you!

It was a peaceful scene...nobody was out fishing however, some were working on their boats to get them prepared for the next good fishing day!
