Yaquina Bay Charters Latest News

Archive for the ‘Charter Trips’ Category

Capt. Art brought back 6 salmon and a pretty good load of bottom fish from his Salmon/Bottom combo trip today. Salmon has been a little hit and miss, as yesterday we only got one keeper, but today was a nice day so let's hope it stays that way!

The Crackerjack had a half day bottom fishing trip today and did well, almost got limits for everyone and brought in a bunch of crab too!

Capt. Art returns to bottom fishing tomorrow morning and afternoon (afternoon has 4 spots left!) and Capt. Jack will be chasing tuna once again. Just another day in paradise!

The Crackerjack brought back 57 albacore last night! They were out between 30 and 40 miles with a full boat of ten. Way to go guys!

The next open tuna  in August are on the 25th (6 spots) and the 27th (1 spot) and then we have room for a whole boat on the 31st.

The Sea Quell had a bottom fishing double header yesterday and got 53 crab in 6 pots on the morning trip! However, by the afternoon the next set of 3 pots only brought in 7. That's kinda the way crabbing goes in Newport! Captain Art is out for Salmon today and then a Salmon/Bottom combo tomorrow with one spot left. I will post again later with how salmon fishing was today.

Give us a call if you want to get out there! Keep me busy here in the office while I wait for the tuna trip to get in!

Above pictures are from Wednesday's trip, a mixed group of 9 brought in 36 fish! Light tackle casting when the boat stopped trolling helped bring in several extra fish, good job to the guys who reeled all those suckers in.

Today's private group of 10 brought in 36 fish and came in 3 hours early! Imagine what 3 more hours of fishing time could have done! Nice to see some ladies on this trip, thanks for coming out!

The following are the last remaining spots to go out for Tuna in August:

Wednesday Aug. 11th – 2 spots

Tuesday Aug. 17th – 3 spots

Friday Aug. 20th – 1 spot

Friday Aug. 27th – 1 spot

Getting pretty close to full!

The Crackerjack took out a private party of 9 yesterday and the boys brought back 48 fish! Really nice grade albacore, average about 20 pounds, some much bigger ones in there too. Capt. Jack was out between 40 and 45 miles. Looking forward to a little breather today and the next couple with just bottom fishing and then back on Tuna on Wednesday.

We have 6 spots available THIS WEDNESDAY August 11th! Also there are 3 spots open on Tuesday the 17th and 2 spots open on Friday the 20th if you want to get out there and catch your dinner!
