One Day, Two Fisheries: Westport’s Combo Salmon + Bottomfish Slam.
Tornado’s Combo Trip in Westport compresses two distinct fisheries into a single outing—salmon and bottomfish—offering anglers the chance to land rockfish and salmon and, when Lingcod are biting, keep those as well. The trip is organized for anglers who have only a narrow window to fish and prefer a one-day, do-it-all experience.

Outing Highlights
Salmon and Bottomfish in One Day
This combo run pairs salmon fishing with bottomfishing—generally targeting rockfish and salmon, with Lingcod when the bite cooperates—so you can score fresh whitefish fillets and chase a “Big King” in a single long day on the water.
Early Start, Full Day
The operation shifts the departure time earlier to fit both fisheries into roughly a ten-hour day—designed for anglers with limited time ashore who want maximum catch opportunity in one trip.
Deckhands Fillet Your Fish
At the end of the day the crew will fillet your catch—bring a cash tip for the deckhand who processes your fish so you leave with ready-to-go fillets.
