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.

Last Straw

This cool fishing vessel (F/V Last Straw) is moored at Dock 5 in Newport on the Oregon Coast. What was interesting, other than the boat, was the light.

Conditions were just right for a remarkable capture! Check out the cloud formation. There is just enough sun to accent the clouds.

Newport has the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon, if not the entire West Coast. The fishing and crab boats enjoy a quick trip to the Pacific with a (usually) tame Bar to cross!

Yaquina Bay Bridge Reflections

The Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport on the Oregon Coast is one of the most recognizable bridges in Oregon. It was constructed in 1936 to span Yaquina Bay from Newport, to what now is called South Beach.

Before, the only way to cross the Bay was by Ferry. And, in those days crossing could be a little treacherous.

This particular capture was made from South Beach, looking west. In the foreground, are wild rose bushes and, you can spot the rose hips this time of year.

The boats pictured are mainly pleasure boats and sailboats. Off to the left, is the world headquarters for Rogue Brewing Co.!

View From The Boardwalk

Not far from Newport on the Central Oregon Coast is Toledo, Oregon!  Yes! It is named after Toledo, Ohio.

You are looking at the Port of Toledo which is located on the Yaquina River. Fall is starting to inch itself in.

Toledo is a mill town, with a major paper mill and lumber mill. And, also major boat repair facilities.

Above all, it is a quaint little town. Not too popular because most of the tourist go to Newport which is only seven miles away on the coast.

But, the tourist that bi-pass Toledo are missing out on a very cool place to visit!

Chelsea Rose And The Tall Ships

The Chelsea Rose, a permanently docked old fishing boat is over 100 years old. It is moored on Dock 5 on Newport, Oregon's Historic Bayfront. For years, folks from all over have been buying freshly caught fish and crabs right off the Chelsea Rose.

The boat needs extensive repairs, to the point that they are probably going to send her to the boat graveyard. When the time comes it will sadden many because it has been a landmark on the bay front for so many years.

Next to the Chelsea are two visiting Tall Ships..."Lady Washington" and the "Hawaiian Chieftain".

Lotus And The Dinghies

The "Lotus" is a yacht moored in South Lake Union in Seattle, Washington. The Lotus was built in 1909 and was the largest private yacht on the West Coast at that time.

She also possessed all the latest amenities of the time: electric lighting and even a state-of-the-art intercom system. Presently, you can reserve the Lotus for weddings and parties.

Fresh Live Crab

The scene is Dock 5 in Yaquina Bay, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Newport is Oregon's largest fishing port.

Chances are the fishing/crab boats are just returning after a nights fishing and crabbing off the Oregon Coast. Notice where the American Flag is...there are two big tubs there full of dungeness
crab !

The Bay

The Bay..."Yaquina Bay" is located in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. It is home to Oregon's and, probably the west coast's largest fishing fleet.

The fishing boats and the sail boat are caught in an early morning fog with just enough sun peaking through to make for a majestic scene.

It is a short distance to the jetty and to the Pacific Ocean. Commercial fishing and crabbing can be lucrative. However, it is a hard life. But, it is in the blood!

Part of the famous Yaquina Bay Bridge is in the background!

I processed the original capture into a HDR ( High Dynamic Range) photo by combining three different exposures. Next, I converted the image into an unusual digital painting.

Please enjoy!

Aquero

 The "Aguero" is a fishing vessel, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Aquero, in Spanish translates to "omen"! 

One meaning is that it is a bad omen for fishermen to learn how to swim?? However, we can assume that the name "Aguero" on this vessel is intended to be a "good omen", whether you can swim or not!

The "Aguero" is moored in Yaquina Bay. Newport boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon and possibly the West Coast. This scene features a heavy fog early in the morning.

 This capture has been converted to digital painting. However, it's not that simple! Three different exposures were taken of the Aguero, combined to bring out all the dynamics of the scene...combining light, color to make the image more vibrant. Then the results were turned into a digital painting.

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.

This capture has been converted to digital paintography!

The setting is Yaquina Bay in Newport on the Central Oregon. Five dinghies are ready to be rented in this tranquil scene. Well, maybe four!

It is early in the morning and there is a hint of some rare sunshine coming up. In the the background are fishing boats...part of the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon Coast. And, off to the left is the Embarcadaro Resort.

Dock Art

This cool wooden boat sits at a Yaquina River dock in Toledo, Oregon. Guessing it is a 1920's-30's style boat.

It looked to be pretty much restored. Toledo is seven miles inland from Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. Wooden boats, of any type seem to have that nostalgic look and feel whereas, everything in today's world is fiberglass.

Seahorse Wall Art

This cool Seahorse serves as a carved wooden figurehead on the front of a rather large  boat that is moored on the Siuslaw River in Florence on the Oregon Coast.

Carved decorations on boats are rather a thing of the past. And, this Seahorse art is rather unique.

The origins of the figurehead and other forms of ship decoration goes back thousands of years. It was common among seafaring civilizations of the old world.

Egyptian figureheads, for example date back to around 3000 BC. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Fishing Vessel Wall Art

Newport on the Central Oregon Coast has the largest fishing fleet in Oregon. One of the main reasons for this is a fairly accessible bar to cross.

Since I reside in Newport, it is easy to capture different fishing vessels in all types of settings. Most fishing boats are moored next to the Historic Bayfront.

Yes! You can purchase these image in a variety of ways, wall art, life style, apparel, greeting cards, home decor, phone cases, mugs. Please see the link below each image!

Fishing Vessel Wall Art (LINK) "Thunder" is an old fishing vessel (F/V). Fishing is her pleasure...rain or shine! She is rough and tough but, that's what the fishing business is all about.

F/V Sylvia (LINK) The "Sylvia is moored by herself on the Bayfront so I was able to get an exclusive shot of her. In February of 2014, the F/V (Fishing Vessel) Sylvia was at sea and reported taking on water, that her pumps could not stay ahead of the leak. Bad news! The Coast Guard went to the rescue. However, the crew of the Sylvia were able to fire up a third pump which helped immensely. The Coast Guard installed another pump yet, got the water level down and patched the leak. The original image was converted into a digital painting.

Port Of Newport Dock No 7 (LINK) 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 skys 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! This image was converted into a digital painting!

Cod Father (LINK) The Cod Father is the fishing vessel just right of the Challenge. The setting is early morning and the sun is shining brightly on the Historic Bayfront off to the right.

Evolution (LINK) Most commercial fisherman take very good care of their boats. They have too to survive out at sea. The scene is a drizzly, foggy morning at Dock 5 on the Historic Bayfront. Most boats are in, conditions at sea aren't real great and it is probably to dangerous to go out and fish due to sea conditions. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Old Dragger Boat (LINK) Toledo, Oregon is the home to this cool old Dragger Boat. Most folks call them trawlers. Either term is just fine! Looking it over, it looked to be a retired Dragger. The boat has obviously been reconditioned...nice white paint and the mahogany trim refurbished. Back to the setting. Toledo is seven miles inland from Newport on the Oregon Coast. They share the same river, the Yaquina. As you take the Old Bay Road from Newport to Toledo, you run across these docks that these cool old boats are moored at.

Coast Guard City USA Wall Art

The "Coast Guard City" designation was established by Congress in 1998 to recognize cities where the United States Coast Guard are located. In order to qualify for that distinction, that city has to show support for Coast Guard personnel stationed there.

The particular Coast Guard City USA,  shown here is in my home town of Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. Newport boasts the biggest fishing fleet in Oregon.

Fisherman go out in the Pacific Ocean in all weather conditions and times. They value the support they get, very whole heartily from the Coast Guard. Especially, when they should get into trouble at sea.

The job of the Coast Guard can be extremely dangerous in high sea rescues. This image has been converted to a digital painting!

Thee Old Dragger Boat

Toledo, Oregon is the home to this cool old Dragger Boat. Most folks know them as trawlers, as in fishing trawlers.

Either term is just fine! By the looks of it, it is a retired Dragger.

The boat has obviously been reconditioned...nice white paint and the mahogany trim refurbished. And, some up-to-date electronics look to have been added.

Toledo is seven miles inland from Newport on the Oregon Coast. They share the same river, the Yaquina.

As you take the Old Bay Road from Newport to Toledo, you run across these docks that these cool old boats are moored at.

F/V Sylvia

The setting is Yaquina Bay in Newport on the Oregon Coast. I was able to capture the F/V (Fishing Vessel) Sylvia all by herself.

This is sort of an interesting story. In February of 2014, the F/V (Fishing Vessel) Sylvia was at sea and reported taking on water, that her pumps could not stay ahead of the leak and the Coast Guard went to the rescue.

However, the crew of the Sylvia were able to fire up an additional pump which helped the situation immensely. The Coast Guard installed yet another pump, got the water level down and patched the leak. The boat made it back to port safely!
