Fishing trips usually depart early in the morning and are back to the dock around 3PM or when limits are reached, whichever happens first.
Spring Chinook Fishing
Loaded for a thousand mile journey upriver, these fish can brighten a cloudy spring day or shimmer in the sun between April showers. The cold water makes Springers one of our most challenging fisheries. The reward is some of the best eating fish on the planet.
On a typical day, we will leave at first light and anchor up in a favorite spot. Early in the season, and on the slack and incoming tide we will troll with bait. This opportunity usually lasts through May but can extend into June depending on how many fish come in.
Summer Ocean Coho and Chinook
“Whack ’em and Stack ’em” is the rallying cry of this fishery. Once the weather warms up, the fall Chinook and early Coho start stacking up in the ocean to size up and chow down on bait fish just outside of the mouth of the Columbia. This trip offers your best chance at a true fishing rodeo when a school of Coho starts chasing down the gear.
On a typical day we will leave port first thing in the morning and start trolling along seams in the current. Favorite gear includes bait rigs with herring or anchovies, spinners, and stuffer baits. These fish will eat almost anything!
This opportunity usually begins in June and lasts through the beginning of August depending on quota
Buoy 10 Chinook and Coho
Often called the “Super Bowl of Salmon” this is the most famous salmon fishery in the Pacific Northwest. As the river warms up the fish start stacking up in the estuary while they get used to the warmer temperatures. This warm water encourages short tempered fish that are ready for a hard fight.
On a typical day we will leave port first thing in the morning. We will troll a combination of fresh bait, spinners, and hard plastic stuffer baits depending on conditions.
Buoy 10 fishing seasons typically start August 1st with Chinook closing after Labor Day weekend. Coho typically continues through September.
Sturgeon, Bottom Fish and Others
Sometimes Salmon just isn’t your thing, the conditions aren’t right, or you’re just looking for something different. Whether it’s catching a 4 foot long sturgeon, jigging for bottom fish, or something completely different, there are plenty of opportunities to create a unique experience.
Sturgeon are almost always a catch-and-release fishery while bottom fish availability will depend on ocean conditions. Sturgeon is available year round and the ocean starts becoming more reliable in May for bottom fish.
Dungeness Crab
These are some of the most plentiful and tasty creatures in the oceans and bays of Oregon. Drop the pots, wait and pull up some deliciousness. Crab trips usually start 2 hours before high tide and end 2 hours after, or when we reach our limit. Crabbing can also be added on to any ocean trip.
Dedicated crabbing trips are available September through mid December, while crabbing is available as an add-on for ocean Coho, Salmon, and bottom fish trips.
