Full Day Offshore Rockfish & Lingcod Fishing Charter From $210

Go bottom fish off the coast of Newport, Oregon! With Yaquina Bay Charters, we’ll take you to some of the best offshore underwater reefs and ground structures where you’ll find Sea Bass, Sea Trout, Cabezon, Kelp Greenling, and the much sought after Lingcod. This trip is in deep water approximately 10-15 miles from shore. Many anglers prefer to take this trip in the late spring through summer and into fall when the deep water holds the best chance for snagging the prized Lingcod. The standard rockfish bag limit applies: 2025 Jan 1-June 30: 4 rockfish and 2 lingcod. July 1-Dec 31: 5 rockfish and 2 lingcod.

Full Day Long Leader Rock Fish Charter From $210

The long leader fishery was developed as an option to fish for species of rockfish that we don’t normally access on traditional bottom fishing trips. This style of fishing requires a 30 ft. leader with a non-compressible float. We target shelf rockfish species including Yellow Tail, Widow Rock Fish, Canary, Bocaccio and Silver Grey’s and more. The bag limit is 10 rockfish per person. No lingcod can be retained on this trip.
