"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"
Huge Vermilion rockfish
Fishing Report: 09/30/2023
On the last day of salmon season The Triumph came home with 8 huge salmon to finish off the 2023 season. The summer season was about normal with the adipose fin law with all the throwbacks but most folks will tell you that the September season minus the adipose fin law was one of the best we can remember. It was not just good fishing at the start but it went right to the last day in September.
The bottom fishing was really good today with all bottom fishing boats getting there limits on the rockfish and there were some Lingcod caught but not a great deal of them today. The picture shows this young lady holding one of the largest Vermillion rockfish a lot of us can remember caught on the Sunrise this morning. Crabbing was 6-10 per person on a fleet average.

Proposed 2023 Salmon season
The 2023 ocean salmon season for the upcoming summer season with marked selective Coho salmon fishing beginning June 17th and running thru the last day of August. The quota proposal accepted is 110,000 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,Black Cod and Lingcod on our offshore Halibut Trips!
SUMMER: Beginning August 3rd, 7 days a week through September or until the quota is met. Currently a 2 fish limit per person!

Wow-salmon still around
Fishing Report: 09/29/2023
Had a great day on the water today with the Sunrise salmon fishing and collected 19 salmon for 11 people as the picture shows. Amazing September salmon fishing as there were a few times when we thought they had finally moved out of the area and then they come back or a new lot of them swim thru Depoe Bay waters.
Tomorrow is the final day of the September salmon fishery.
We had quite a few bottom fishing boats out there today and most if not all of them limited on the rockfish but not a whole lot of Lingcod were caught today. The crab catch was good around 9-per person average on the boats crabbing.

Mega rockfish bite
Fishing Report: 09/28/2023
We got back out on the water today on a nice ocean and we have trips going out thru the weekend so give us a call and get your spot on one of those trips. The rockfish bite today was excellent with limits for everyone but the Lingcod bite was slow but we did have some on the filet table. The crab bite was still solid at 6-8 per person.
