Happy Halibut customer
Fishing Report: 06/15/2024
The bottom fishing today was quite slow for the first time that we can remember as the captains struggled to finding a decent bite in a very fast moving current. The weather for the ocean was suppose to be quite mild out there but as it sometimes does it got windy and quite choppy out there. One boat the Samson switch a normal run to the north and found a limit of fish down to the south of Depoe Bay. Crabbing was still slow at 1-3 per person.
The Coho salmon opener was slow as it normally is like the past few years it was the first week of July or so before the fish started to arrive in the Depoe Bay area. There were some takedowns but no one got a limit sized fish in the net. Try again in the morning.
On the other had the Surfrider had a terrific Halibut trip bagging 37 Halibut good for a boat limit along with some nice rockfish living in the deep water. The boat also got back to port an hour early.

Sunday Halibut Day
Fishing Report: 06/14/2024
Hey folks on what is forecasted to be a nice ocean with only a 4-foot swell with a little wind in the afternoon we have a 12-hour Halibut trip going out on the Surfrider. For the greater part the Halibut fishing this spring has been really good for the Dockside fleet where only a few were just average on rougher ocean days offshore. If interested give our office a call as there are some spots still open.

Excellent fishing one a really nice ocean
Fishing Report: 06/14/2024
Dockside had its entire fleet out on the waters today and several of the boats are back in early with limits of rockfish and there were a decent number of Lingcod in the mix. There was a lot of color which normally means the boats are venturing a little further offshore where the fish with color (Canary's) normally hang out. We have a few days of good crabbing thus far but the really good crabbing has not shown up as of yet as today the score was 1-3 per person.
Maybe just maybe winter is over as the forecast the next 7-10 days right now looks like really nice ocean weather. School is out and this is a great time to come see us at Dockside or give us a call for a great ocean experience.
