WARREN FISHING FIELD GUIDE
All‑Day Saltwater Doubleheader: Salmon at Dawn, Rockfish off the Deep Reefs
A nine‑hour Warren charter that pairs morning King salmon trolling with afternoon deep‑water rockfish jigging—this guide explains the flow, limits, logistics, and processing options.
All‑Day Saltwater Doubleheader: Salmon at Dawn, Rockfish off the Deep Reefs.
The Ocean Salmon and Rockfish Combo is a full‑day, 9‑hour charter out of Warren that starts at sunrise with salmon trolling and finishes in the afternoon with long‑leader, electric‑reel rockfish fishing on offshore reefs. Anglers travel down a rugged coastline that regularly produces wildlife sightings and, on good days, whales; the trip returns to port for dockside filleting and optional vacuum sealing so you leave with fish packaged for the freezer.

Outing Highlights
A freezer‑filler combo
This all‑day combo targets salmon in the morning and rockfish in the afternoon, with a typical limit of 2 salmon and 10 rockfish—enough to stock the freezer after processing at the dock.
Rugged shoreline and wildlife
The run down the coast offers sweeping views of the Pacific and frequent wildlife; operators note keeping an eye out for whales as the boat moves toward favorite reefs and fishing grounds.
Tackle to vacuum‑sealed fillets
Tackle, bait and bottled water are provided. After the trip you can have fish filleted at the dock (about $30 a limit) and vacuum‑sealed in a USDA‑licensed facility for $2.50 per bag; freezer storage is available subject to space.
What the day feels like
What the day on the water feels like
Plan to meet at the charter office at sunrise for coffee and any last‑minute licensing; from there the boat launches a minute away and heads along the coastline. Morning trolling focuses on King salmon; in the afternoon the crew moves to deeper reefs, deploying electric reels and long leaders to jig for large rockfish. Once fishing time ends or limits are met, you return to port for processing and packaging.
