Had an amazing day out with a great crew. Lingcod bite was tremendous. Had 21 lingcod in the boat within 2 1/2 hours of fishing. Also scored a likit of jice grade rockfish including a couple real nice sea trout (greenlings). Left the dock shortly after 7am and got baits down by 7:45…before we could get all 6 rods down we were already bringing fish up! This spring has been great whenever we can get out. Of course safety is top priority so we have had several cancellations and reschedules…the nature of spring fishing off the oregon coast, but we want people to have an enjoyable experience and not have to have trouble standing up! Look foreard to having more epic days out next week!!

Lingcod fishing has been so good as of late that we’re releasing lots of legal fish after we get our limit while in pursuit of our rockfish bags. We have been catching them on both jigs and bait. Light tackle when drift is slow enough, medium tackle on fast drifts with a little more weight. Our lingcod limit is now 3 fish per person so we’re currently allowed one more fish than we normally are. Take advantage of this winter opportunity to put some high quality tablefare away in your freezers and enjoy the beautiful pacific ocean!! Photos are of the last two days out. Limits for boat and crew!!

The coho salmon fishery is starting to get going for us. While they are still summer size, they seem be be a little bigger than normal this year this early. Looking forward to some days of fast action in this fishery. It can be hard to keep more than 3 rods in the water when the bite gets hot! This is a good introductory fishery for kids just getting started in salmon fishing because there's usually pretty good action.

The spring lingcod bite remains HOT! Good quality fish and lots of action. Been consistently bringing home limits of nice lingcod and good grade rockfish when we can get out. Fish have been biting herring, jigs, live kelpies, everything. Lots of fun for adults and kids alike. Get out here while its hot!

Left the dock shortly after first light on an outgoing current. It was a little bumpy going over the bar but once clear of the ebb slop the ocean was beautiful! Turned into a spectacular spring day off the oregon coast. We had steady action on good grade rockfish from the beginning of the first drift. The lingcod bite is excellent too. Limits of lingcod and rockfish for the boat and back to the dock well befofe lunch. We got lingcod on flukes, gribs, herring, shrimpflies…whatever we threw at them, they ate it today! Great crew work, good storytelling and an excellent vibe all around! What a day on the ocean

This is one of our favorite times of the year to fish our nearshore lingcod fishery and today didn’t disappoint! We left the harbor shortly after sunrise with a brisk easterly breeze and bone chilling 37 degree temp. The breeze made it feel like mid 20s; fortunately the cabin was warm and spirits high. We passed a couple commercial crab boats in the channel on the way out and headed towards the fishing grounds. The first drift was a little faster than i like due to the breeze but we quickly hooked into a couple lingcod and rockfish. Hy the second drift the wind had backed off a bit and the temp was warming up as the sun rose in the sky. No swell whatsoever and shaping uo to be a beautiful day. Action was consistent on the ensuing drifts and everyone was having a good time talking story and reeling in fish. The crew work was outstanding with everyone working together and enjoying the day. We fijished the day with limits of lingcod and rockfish. We also released a bunch of legal sized lingcod once we had already reached our limit and were working on our finishing our rockfish bag. Such a special winter day with a flat ocean and excellent fishing with fun crew!
