Trip Overview

Picture this: you're cruising up the bay as the sun rises, surrounded by the misty beauty of the Oregon coastline.

These tasty fish make for some killer tacos or a fancy "poor man's lobster" dish back at home.

What to Expect on the Water

We keep things simple and fun on this trip. You'll be using light tackle that's perfect for pink fin perch. We provide all the gear you need - rods, reels, bait, and tackle - so you can just show up ready to fish. Our boats are comfortable and spacious, with room for up to six anglers. We'll show you the ropes if you're new to fishing, or swap stories if you're an old hand. The perch tend to school up, so when you find them, it's often one after another. Don't be surprised if you lose track of how many you've caught!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks love this trip because it's all about having a good time. There's no pressure, just pure fishing fun. Kids get a kick out of reeling in fish after fish, and even experienced anglers enjoy the steady action. Plus, the short 4-hour duration is perfect for fitting into a busy vacation schedule. You'll be back in time for lunch, with a cooler full of fresh fish and a bunch of new memories. It's the kind of morning that'll have you planning your next trip before you even hit the dock.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Pink fin perch are the stars of this show, and for good reason. These spunky little fish typically range from 8 to 12 inches, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight and flavor. They're known for their distinctive pink fins (hence the name) and their willingness to bite. Pink fins are most active in the warmer months, making this trip a summer favorite.

But it's not just about the pinkies. Depending on the day, you might also tangle with other bay residents like black rockfish, lingcod, or even the occasional salmon. Each species brings its own excitement to the trip. Rockfish are known for their aggressive strikes and make for great fish and chips. Lingcod, with their prehistoric looks and big mouths, are always a thrill to catch. And if a salmon decides to crash the party, well, that's just the icing on the cake!

The beauty of fishing the Oregon Coast is that you never know exactly what you might catch. That element of surprise keeps things interesting, even for anglers who've been at it for years. Our guides know these waters like the back of their hand and can help you identify and properly handle whatever comes over the rail.

Top Catches This Season

While pink fin perch are our main target, the Oregon Coast is teeming with diverse marine life. This season, anglers have been scoring some impressive catches. Rockfish have been particularly active, with some boats limiting out in no time. We've seen a good number of lingcod in the 10-15 pound range, providing some serious pull on the line. And let's not forget the occasional surprise - just last week, a guest hooked into a 25-pound chinook salmon that decided to cruise through our fishing grounds!

The key to success on these trips is versatility. We might start off targeting pink fin perch, but if we spot birds working or see signs of other fish, we're always ready to switch tactics. That's the beauty of a private charter - we can adapt on the fly to make sure you're into the best action possible.
