A Huge 10‑Fish Limit
Oregon’s regulations allow a generous 10‑fish limit on offshore rockfish for this trip, making it common for anglers to bring home 10 or more pounds of fillets per person after a single outing.
Canary, Yellowtail and Widow Rockfish
The trip focuses on deep‑drop jigging for Canary, Yellowtail and Widow rockfish on offshore reefs—species the charter targets year‑round under the current rules.
Beginner‑Friendly, Electric Reels Included
Described as fun for beginners, the charter provides electric reels, tackle and bait so newcomers can get straight to the experience without hauling gear from home.
What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
You meet at the charter office at first light for coffee and any needed licenses, walk a minute to the boat launch, then run down the coast to a favorite reef where anglers deep‑drop a long leader and jig for rockfish. The action alternates between focused fishing for your limit and moments of coastal observation—keep an eye out for whales—then the charter returns to port for fish processing and packing once the limit or allotted fishing time is reached.
