Tuna / Fishing Report:

03/26/2023

We were back on the water after two days off for rough seas this morning. Today was the "tweener day" so to speak as we go from very rough seas to certainly fishable but a little rocky at times. Tomorrow is suppose to be a really nice day as the ocean comes down to our springtime standards. The fishing was pretty good today with most of the folks on our boats getting their rockfish limits and the Lingcod bite was good but not as good as it was a few days back. Not unusual after a few days of rough ocean weather. The crab catch was quite good with around 6-crabs per person.

Proposed 2023 Salmon season

The 2023 ocean salmon season has put out three proposals for the upcoming summer season with marked selective Coho salmon fishing beginning June 17th and running thru the last day of August. Quotas being proposed run between 90,000 and 120,000 fish. There will be no Chinook salmon retention due to lower than expected numbers in the California zones.

There will also be a September non-marked selective coho fishery like in past years somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 fish with a possibility of a rollover from the summer quota if anything remains. There could be a possibility of a Chinook season of one fish in that time also. Final decisions will be made by the PFMC at their annual meeting May 7th.

2023 PROPOSED HALIBUT SEASON

SPRING: May 1 - June 30th, 7 days a week. Limit one fish per person. For 2023, the regulation has changed and we will now be able to keep Rockfish and Ling Cod on our offshore Halibut Trips!

SUMMER: August 3-5, then every other Thursday - Saturday.

The Surfrider took 12 hardy fishermen out there today on a windy, rainy and white capped ocean. From the shoreline the Surfrider was looking like it was riding really well but probably it was a little nautical if on the boat. The "amazing" thing is that they came home almost two and a half hours early with limits not only of rockfish but a really nice looking limit of Lingcod as well. No crabbing today and the folks out there having reservations for Friday and/or Saturday you might call the office for ocean updates as it does not look good the next few days.

Very nice ocean out there this morning a great improvement over yesterday morning with all the wind and rain. Today we had nothing but blue skies and calm winds in the morning hours. The Tacklebuster and the Surfrider were out there for Dockside today and both came home with Lingcod limits and one of the vessels was just a few few fish short on the rockfish limit. The crabbing was around five per person. The rockfish bite was frantic in the early morning hours and then around mid-morning the Lingcod took off with on one drift one of the vessels caught twenty of them. WOW!!

Another great day on the Pacific out of Dockside Charters and like most of the days lately we had phenomenal success fishing with rockfish AND Lingcod limits for all of our hard working folks on board this morning. Crabbing this morning not quite as good as the day before but it was still worth the extra price for the crab by bringing in almost five per person. On top of that we had another beautiful day out there even a little better then the day before as not nearly as chilly. We have a great forecast for you folks thinking of coming down to get in on this great fishing pretty much all the way thru next Tuesday. Now is the time for this the very special Lingcod fishing so get on down here.

There will also be a September non-marked selective coho fishery like in past years somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 fish with a possibility of a rollover from the summer quota if anything remains. There could be a possibility of a Chinook season of one fish in that time also. Final decisions will be made by the PFMC at their annual meeting May 7th.

2023 PROPOSED HALIBUT SEASON

SPRING: May 1 - June 30th, 7 days a week. Limit one fish per person. For 2023, the regulation has changed and we will now be able to keep Rockfish and Ling Cod on our offshore Halibut Trips!

SUMMER: August 3-5, then every other Thursday - Saturday.

Another great day on a chilly but beautiful ocean and the fishing was just fantastic with limits for everyone aboard for both rockfish and Lingcod. Both the Tacklebuster and Surffrider came home with great catches and some beautiful Lingcod. This is the time to be here for the Lingcod bite as historically the springtime is when the spawners are in the more shallow waters and by the looks of the picture our crew caught some beauty’s this morning. Crabbing was also terrific with around 7-per person on one of the vessels reporting. The weather looks really good at least thru next Monday, March 20th so give us a call as we have trips going out each day.

The salmon bite has completely died, it would appear the fish moved out of our area which is not atypical for this late in the year. The season's only slated to be open a few more days, but unless we get reports that there are fish around, we likely won't be running anymore of these trips this year.

We are still sending out our 5-hour bottomfishing trips daily as well, with the option to crab. Crabbing has been averaging anywhere from 3-6 per person these last few days and the rockfish have really been on the bite. We saw quite a few Canaries and Ling Cod come in today as well!

Ocean conditions have been absolutely fantastic these last few days! The bottom fishing has been excellent this week with great catches of rockfish coming in daily and with good variety. Ling Cod have been doing well, some days they're bringing in quite a few and others they've been slower on the bite. Crabbing still is very good with averages of 4-8 per person!

The salmon season is still open and there's been a lot of action on these trips. The last few days we have been averaging about 1 keeper per person being brought in, but many fish lost/spit the hook out there. We expect the salmon season to remain open until the 30th as the quota has not reached its halfway mark yet.

We have Deep Water Ling Cod available this next Tuesday on the 20th! If you're looking to get offshore for the big ling be sure to reserve your spot now before it fills up!

09/14/2022

We've had some great ocean conditions these last few days and the fishing in all fisheries has been great! Our bottomfishing trips continue to produce good varieties of rockfish and ling cod and the crabbing is still remaining strong at anywhere from 4-8 per person!

Our Deep Water Ling Cod trip was a great success yesterday, it sounded like our boat limited on those big offshore rockfish and got over half of his ling cod limit as well. Good size to them as well!

Salmon fishing remains pretty consistently good. These last few days our boats have been reporting lots of action with some boats limiting and others averaging 1 keeper a person. Just depends on the day! The season is open until the end of this month or until the quota is reached, whichever comes first!

Tuna / Fishing Report:

09/11/2022

The rockfish bite slowed down a bit these last couple of days, likely a product of the rough weather and colder ocean temps we've had lately. That should turn around pretty quick though, especially with all of this East wind we've been having! We were still able to bring in a few nice rockfish and the ling cod seemed to be heavier on the bite the last few days. Crabbing averaged anywhere from 3-5 per person, and good quality size to them as well!

We have an 8-hour Deep Water Ling Cod trip available this week on Tuesday if you're looking to get out offshore and target the BIG ling cod! We've got a few spaces left and will be running this trip through this month and next as long as the ocean conditions allow - Tuesday's forecast looks excellent for offshore at the moment!

The Salmon bite yesterday and today was pretty good, some boats today are reporting in at least 1 per person and others right about that range. They are still fishing though so we'll see what they end up with!

Well, after a few days of pretty rough ocean conditions, our bottomfishing boats were able to get out this morning inshore and they did very well. Due to all of the wind we've had lately the water temperatures dropped quite a bit and our boats reported a great ling cod bite today! Tomorrow looks like the ocean conditions should be great for all of our fisheries going out, both salmon and bottomfishing. We have reached that time of the year where we will start to see a few rough ocean days here and there as we get into Fall, but as long as the ocean is nice we will continue to send trips out!

Tuna / Fishing Report:

09/04/2022

It's been a great Labor Day weekend here in Depoe Bay! The salmon opener yesterday was on the slower side, however, what a difference a day makes. The Tacklebuster is on his way home with a limit of salmon for everyone on board! Sounds like our boats are reporting lots of salmon action out there as well.

Bottomfishing continues to remain consistently good with the ling cod and cabezon catches up and down these last few days with the slower currents and warmer water temps. We're starting to get into the Fall though when that ling cod bite will really start to pick up. Rockfish have definitely been doing very well these last few days though. Crabbing is still excellent with averages of 5-8 per person!

Beginning Tuesday, our Salmon fishing trips will be leaving at 6:30 AM and bottomfishing trips will be leaving at 7:00 AM daily, ocean permitting. We are also currently booking some 8-hour Deep Water Ling Cod trips offshore, which will also be leaving at 7:00 AM. Summer's coming to an end but some of the best fishing and weather is usually in September for us in Depoe Bay, so come on out and go fishing!

Ling Cod have really been on the bite these last few days with the cooler water temperatures we have out there. All of our boats have been reporting in with great catches of both Ling Cod and rockfish lately. Crabbing is still excellent at averages of 5-8 per person. Our bottom fishing trips continue to leave daily at 6:00 AM, be sure to reserve your spot while the Ling Cod fishing is good!

Unfortunately, the Tuna have moved way too far offshore for us to get to them due to all of the wind we've had this last week. The latest chlorophyll charts are showing tuna fishing water at least 80 miles offshore, and reports we are getting are that boats have not been catching any tuna inside of 80 miles. That being said, we are in the process of calling everyone scheduled for a tuna fishing trip this week - if you haven't heard from us yet give our office a call!

We received notice from the ODFW today that the limit on rockfish will be reduced to 4 per person beginning Tuesday, September 6th, and China/Copper Rockfish and Cabezon will not be allowed to be kept. However, this doesn't mean there isn't anything left to catch out there! We will still be able to keep Black/Blue Rockfish, Canary Rockfish, Tiger Rockfish, Vermillion Rockfish, Deacon Rockfish and of course Ling Cod! Luckily we have lots of different species of fish out there that we can keep, and we will continue to run our 5-hour bottomfishing trips daily in September, ocean permitting!

Speaking of bottomfishing, sounds like it was pretty good today. From what I heard from the boats it sounded like it was steady fishing all day with lots of rockfish being brought in with a few ling cod in the mix. Yesterday the rockfishing was great with boats bringing in limits or near limits of fish and crabbing still remaining excellent at 6-12 per person averages!

Remember, our non-selective salmon season opens up on September 3rd! If you want your salmon this year reserve now for the first couple of weeks of September, we never know how long that season will last and spaces are filling up quick!

Our bottom fishing trips continue to do very well each day with limits of rockfish or near limits being brought in. The Ling Cod bite has been better these last few days with the water temps cooling off a bit! Crabbing still excellent with averages of 6-8 per person yesterday!

Salmon bite yesterday was on the slower side again, and it picked up again today but nothing that was super spectacular. They're still out there fishing though so you never know when the bite will pick up! The salmon season is open for just a few more days then will shut down and reopen again on September 3rd.

Bottomfishing continues to be very consistent lately with boats reporting in with limits of rockfish or near limits daily. Ling Cod have been slow on the bite the last couple of days but we'll be getting some NW wind this week that should cool the water off and get them back on the bite soon. Crabbing still remains excellent at 4-8 per person!

Salmon fishing is up and down this last week, the last couple of days it was slow, and today the boats are reporting a lot of action out there! Salmon season closes soon on the 21st, but will reopen on September 3rd for the non-selective season. That season likely won't last long due to there being a small quota so if you'd like to get out, be sure to reserve for the first couple of the weeks of the season... and soon! Spaces are filling up quickly.

We have tuna fishing trips scheduled this next week, we will see what the weather does and how the fishing goes out there and get you all a report after we've run a few of the trips!

Bottomfishing continues to do very well, with boats reporting with limits of rockfish yesterday! There were a few ling cod and cabezon in the mix as well, and some had some decent size to them! Crabbing continues to be amazing with anywhere from 5-8 crab per person averages lately.

The salmon bite slowed down a bit for some yesterday, but for some boats there was lots of action as well. Salmon has been up and down this whole season, different action on these trips on a daily basis. This salmon season is getting ready to close on the 21st of this month, and then will re-open for the non-selective season on September 3rd. We are booking up fast for that second season so if you haven't reserved already, be sure to do that right away!

Tuna are still anywhere from 35-45 miles out. We do have some wind in the forecast for this next week, so we will be monitoring the offshore ocean conditions as well as the fish themselves over these next few days. Will keep everyone updated as we have more info!

Crabbing is spectacular right now with averages of 6-9 per person, we even had one boat limit out on crab yesterday!

The salmon bite has also been very consistent with lots of action on the trips, but as we are in the selective season, lots of natives are being caught and then released. One boat did bring home over one keeper per person yesterday though. As long as there is still action on these trips, we are doing good though!

The tuna have not quite moved in close enough yet for us to get to. We have scattered reports that there's a few fish out there, but still out of range for us. We are hoping in the next week or two they will be in close enough for us to get to. We will keep you all posted though!

Sounds like there are reports of a few salmon around... nothing to be excited about yet.

Could not have asked for a better day out there, the ocean conditions were great and it's been sunny and beautiful all day today. As the Halibut season comes to a close here in a few days, this was definitely a perfect way to end the Halibut Spring Season!

We had some action on our coho salmon trip today, sounded like 4 take downs, 1 throwback, and 1 keeper. Still on the slow side though, but hopefully those salmon show up here for us soon! They usually start coming in around July or so, we will keep you posted!

Bottomfishing trips were also very successful today, with boats reporting in good catches of rockfish with Ling Cod in the mix. Crabbing was anywhere from 3-6 per person today on all of our bottom fishing boats. Ocean conditions look great this week, we have trips leaving daily at 6:00 a.m.!

Crabbing improved quite a bit yesterday with averages from anywhere between 4-8 per person.

We've got a bit of fog out there this morning - pretty typical indicator that summer is here in Depoe Bay. Though the current was a bit strong out there this morning, the boats are reporting a really hot Ling Cod bite today! Sounds like the rockfish slowed down some, but they're not having any problem catching ling. Not a bad problem to have! We've got a bit of wind tomorrow but the forecast for Friday through the weekend looks fantastic - it's supposed to be super warm everywhere this weekend so come on down to the coast and escape the heat!

Finally some dry weather in the forecast! After days of on and off rain, the weather forecast looks dry through next weekend and potentially beyond! The bottom fishing boats had a great morning on the water with limits or near limits of rockfish! The ling cod bite was a little slower this morning, but we're expecting the bite to pick up this week with this high pressure system coming in which often cools the water off. Crabbing has ranged from 1.5-4 crab a person, but anytime you get 1 crab it pays for itself! Dungeness crab are a high priced item right now ranking almost up there with fuel prices!

We're running bottom fishing and crabbing trips daily as well as Whale Watching trips! Book right here online or give us a call at 541-765-2545 to make a reservation. We're getting into the peak summer season and trips are booking up fast!

The salmon opening weekend was... slow. They did have a little bit of action here in there and we were able to bring home a couple of keeper salmon today but it may be a bit too early yet for them. The season is scheduled to stay open until August 21st so let's hope they show up soon!

It's starting out to be yet another awesome day of rock fishing for us here... some of our boats have already limited out on rockfish this morning and they're on the hunt for some Ling Cod to go with them! Sounds like the bite was crazy busy first thing this morning. These last couple of days crabbing slowed down a bit with averages of 1-3 per person, likely a result of the Southerly we had come in over the weekend. Today is a new day though and hopefully they pull up some full pots today!
