You can get them via text messages or emails. To sign up go to http://dfw.state.or.us/MRP/bulletins/index.asp and enter your phone for text alerts and e-mail information to subscribe to email updates. Your phone and e-mail information will remain confidential. Six different lists of interest to ocean enthusiasts are available: Bottomfish (recreational), Halibut (recreational), Ocean Salmon (recreational), Ocean Salmon (commercial troll), Commercial Nearshore Groundfish, and Marine Reserves. ODFW also said it wants to hear about your fishing experiences. “Send us your own fishing report through ODFW Fishing Reports,” ODFW said in a recent press release. “The information will be forwarded to the local biologist who may use it to update various ODFW resources such as the Weekly Recreation Report” There are still some restrictions happening along marine reserves on the south coast and central Oregon coast. Fishing, crabbing, clamming, hunting and gathering seaweed are all prohibited in the areas around Otter Rock (near Depoe Bay) and Redfish Rocks (near Port Orford).
