Halibut Update & 2 More Saturday Spots!

May 14th, 2012 | Add a Comment

First I have to say I’m very sorry I have misplaced my camera cord and will have to post the pictures from this weekend later – but I do have an update on how the opener went! We weren’t able to get out there on Thursday and Friday because of high winds and some big surf, but both boths made it out with full loads on Saturday. Though the bite was a little slow, both boats made it back with limits for all plus crew fish. No huge ‘buts this weekend, but several good ones in the 40′s. Not too shabby when less than 20% of the folks on board had ever been halibut fishing before! THIS SATURDAY May 19th we have 2 spots available together on one boat … Read entire article »

Salmon/Bottom Update

July 3rd, 2011 | Comments Off

Yesterday was the Coho Salmon opener for the Central Oregon coast and our Gracie K went out on a Salmon/Bottom combo while Crackerjack was just on bottom fishing. The Salmon bite was good, but there weren’t any keepers on the Gracie K before they changed over to bottom fishing. Some other sport boats have reported finding some fish yesterday though, so looks like fishing will be great for our next trip on Wednesday! Bottom fishing has … Read entire article »

Quick rockfishing trip

June 30th, 2011 | Comments Off

The Crackerjack went out for a quick trip for rockfish. A family of five wanted the boat to themselves so we went out lightloaded. The fish were biting really good. We got 20 rockfish and 1 lingcod in about 45 minutes of fishing before the family called it quits because they didn’t know if they would be able to eat all of it. We’re headed out again tomorrow for rockfish! … Read entire article »
