Tuna / Fishing Report:

08/26/2025

The bottom fishing this morning was really good which was followed by some really good crabbing to send everyone home happy.

The Surfrider went out on a special/custom trip which started with fishing for Sand dabs a small flatfish caught on a sandy bottom. They are quite small in size but they are excellent for catching Lingcod probably their favorite bait. The Sand dabs which are also called "Whiffs" are loved by the Lingcod as they have no spines like most rockfish and make for a quick meal for them.

We have some nice weather coming up with the swell going down to four feet tomorrow with very light winds for around the next week.

We had good results on the bottom fishing front today on the inshore boats with a really nice variety of fish caught and some real nice lingcod's. Wde had one boat (Surfrider) headed offshore on a Tuna trip and they were turned around due to offshore ocean conditions and the trip was turned into a Lingcod trip. The boat limited on both Lingcod and rockfish and as it has been for most of the summer the crabs produced anywhere between 6-10 per customer.

The ocean weather looks like some nice ocean conditions headed our way thru next Wednesday with very little wind or ocean swell.

Remember also the salmon September fishery opens next Monday September 1st with no reason to throw back a legal length salmon as we can keep them all.

Tuna / Fishing Report:

08/24/2025

As we dig deeper into the summer months and closer to the fall season the Lingcod appear to be going back on the bite like normally this time of the fishing year. There were quite a few caught today and some were really nice sized ones. The rockfish bite was also pretty good with some good sized rockfish hitting the filet table. Crabbing remains really strong.

Salmon on this last day of the summer season was quite slow with some fish caught and all of those from what we have heard were throw back fish. Did not see a salmon on the filet lines but with three boats out there today possibly there were some.

Remember even though the summer season is over for salmon the fall season opens up September 1st and also remember we can keep any legal length salmon over there 16-inch size limit. No Chinook salmon however. That season runs till the 30,000 fish quota we have this year runs out. It's normally a popualr season with not having to worry about the adipose fin throwbacks.

It was a beautiful day out on the water and today's report was somewhat affected by that beautiful weather. The warm weather and the southerly winds which have been around for the last few days has warmed up the water temperature and that does not play well with bottom fish or salmon. Salmon fishing was slow today with quite a few fish landed but not very many take home fish. Even the bottom fishing was slower today but most of the boats reported really good scores as hard work by our clients paid off today. Crabbing remains very strong.

Beginning tomorrow the northerly winds return and that will cool down the waster and fishing should pick up.

Salmon fishing was terrific today north or south of Depoe Bay there was really good action. Not everyone got a limit but there was action from start to finish of the 5-hr trips. There was also a great deal of the throwback fish which are fun to reel in but a little disappointing when you view the adipose fin still there.

Bottom fishing was also good with quite a number of the cod seen in the filet lines and some were really nice sized fish. Crzbbing remains better then quite a few recent years.

The fish were all around them out there and they were disappointed they did not get more but there will be trips going out for the next 5-6 weeks or so. So call for a reservation on the next trip going out.

Salmon fishing today was just like it has been the past two weeks or so with loads of action, loads of throw back fish and an average of about 1.5 take home fish per customer.

Bottom fishing was also really good with most boats limiting the majority of their customers, a scattering of lingcod in the totes and so many crabs its hard to count them all.

The salmon fishing was really good today as we had "GREAT" action with five hours of folks reeling in fish. One boat had over 30 fish on & brought in 8 keepers and threw back quite a few. more than that. The adipose thing is still keeping folks from limiting easily but it's something we deal with in the summer months. The salmon season closes on August 24th for a week and then re-opens September 1st where we do not have to throw back any legal size salmon

The bottom fishing trips also had good trips with mostly limits on the rockfish and scattered Lingcods caught as well. The Lingcod should begin slowly to get better as we get towards the end of August. Crabbing again was fantastic with the Sportfisher bringing in 6-totes full of crab.

The Depoe Bay harbor this morning was a little spooky as the Tsunami from the Russian peninsula arrived sometime overnight. It was an interesting sight but no big waves just an entrance to the harbor and the water inside was moving around very quickly. It created several docking issues for some of the vessels.

The fishing started out slow but came on strong about halfway through the morning with most boats limiting out on the rockfish with a few nice Lingcod in the mix. The crabbing as it has been lately was very strong.

The salmon fishing with our one 6-pac boat out there the Triumph from initial reports in the late morning was going really well. Did not get a final score as of yet.
