2nd Halibut Opening Tomorrow!

May 16th, 2012 | Add a Comment

Looks like the weather’s going to hold for our next three halibut days, so the boys are hitting the water tomorrow! Capt. Jack and Capt. Shannon have full loads for Friday and Saturday but there is an extra spot (maybe two) tomorrow if you’re looking to get on last minute. As usual, we’re looking for big ‘buts this weekend! Bring your camera and send us your pictures after your trip or post them on … Read entire article »

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 »

It’s About ‘BUT Time!

May 9th, 2012 | Add a Comment

Halibut opens up tomorrow, but unfortunately mother nature decided to rain on the opening day parade! We’ve cancelled our opening trip due to a very poor forecast – but this is fairly typical of the May fishing season with the weather being tempermental. Last year we only had two cancelled days, so someone do a little weather dance for us so we can get out Friday and Saturday after those big ‘buts! Next week we have a couples spots left on Thursday the 17th and 1 spot left on Saturday the 19th. Give us a call at the office if you’re wife (or husband) would love some fresh Halibut steaks for dinner! 541-265-6800 … Read entire article »

2012 Sport Salmon Seasons Finalized!

April 26th, 2012 | Add a Comment

Hey y’all! Long time no post, eh? Well here’s some brand new information for you! The 2012 Ocean Sport Salmon Seasons have been announced and we have a little bit of an atypical season coming up, but it should bode well for fishing. The buzz over a higher Chinook projection this year has so far been somewhat verified with several days of excellent Chinook fishing during Easter week and Chinook remains open through Oct. 31. Coho selective season opens on July 1 this year and runs through July 31 or 8,000 fish. That’s kind of a small quota – but in September we get some bonus time to make up for it. Limit is 2 fin-clipped coho per person per day. Coho non-selective season opens September 1-3 and will behave a little … Read entire article »

Schedule and Salmon Update

August 28th, 2011 | Comments Off

Well ODFW couldn’t make up their minds for a while, but we’re sure happy they did and found in our favor! The non-selective salmon season is now September 1-10 ALL DAYS, not just Thurs-Sat like it was before, AND we now have a quota of 5,600 fish instead of 3,000. That season is shaping up to be a really great time if you’re going to be in the area! This week we have 3 spots … Read entire article »
