12 hour trip – Our popular extreme offshore adventure for experienced fishermen!  Join in the excitement, and travel 20-50 miles from port to fish for one of the most popular sport fish around.

Read More
This trip includes everything you will need to fish with, and filleting is available after the trip on a per/fish charge basis. Our experienced captains and crew study the warm water and chlorophyll charts to find the best places to fish, and use chum and IQF anchovies for the best 12 hour fishing adventure the area has to offer.  Due to the feeding habits of tuna, you may see one or more different fishing methods used on our trips.  Some  of our tuna may be caught “on the troll” by towing surface jigs along the top of the water.  Others may be caught by casting swimbaits or “dropping iron” down deeper.  The gear type and method of fishing employed (troll vs bait) does not typically affect the amount of fish caught on a charter trip, and the captain will employ the method s/he thinks will result in the best chance of catching fish!  This trip can be very weather dependent, so please keep that in mind when scheduling.  Often, if a trip is cancelled for rough offshore weather conditions, you may opt for a nearshore bottom fishing trip the same day instead.  Full refunds will be given for trips that are cancelled by the captain for weather.

Head on out into the great Pacific to try your luck trolling for some of the best salmon the coast has to offer.  Although the Coho (Silver) salmon is our main target, it’s not unusual to land a Chinook (King) either!  Regulations can change year to year, or even mid-season.  The captain and deckhand will guide you in this regard, ensuring you are only keeping fish that are in-season.  Next, we’ll switch gears and head to a nearshore reef for some rockfish and maybe lingcod!  Then we’ll finish off the day pulling in the crab pots and enjoying the amazing scenery the Oregon Coast has to offer. While we don’t always end up with limits on this trip, the fun is in the experience, and folks usually end up going home with an awesome dinner and plenty of seafood left to freeze for later.

Fishing Trips Include

Fishing Gear and Tackle

Fish Filleting/Cleaning*

Crab Cooking

* Fish filleting not included on Tuna. On site filleting and processing services available through Garibaldi Cannery or Tillamook Bay Boathouse

* Crabbing is included with no extra fee (weather permitting) on select fishing trips, but is not required. If you don’t wish to take crab home, you do not need to purchase a shellfish license. Crab will be split up into “shares” depending on how many passengers onboard have shellfish permits. Each person with a shellfish permit will be able to take home a “share” of crab.

Fishing Licenses are NOT included, and are required for all fishers age 12 and over. The best way to get a fishing license (including a daily license) is from the ODFW website. Licenses can also be purchased through most sporting goods stores, and many retailers such as Fred Meyer and Bi-Mart.  PLEASE NOTE, the One-Day Fishing and Shellfish license is the ONLY license available to purchase at our office the morning of the trip.  Please come 30 min prior to your start time if you need to purchase a license from the office.

  • Pro-tip – The most popular choice for our charters is the Daily Angling/Shellfish License.  The 2026 cost is $29+$4 for the Ocean Endorsement, and includes a shellfish/crabbing license.  It also includes a daily tag (if fishing for salmon or halibut).  You do not need the Columbia River Endorsement unless you are on the Astoria Salmon trip.  Another popular choice is the Youth License (Annual license for age 12-17, resident or nonresident, includes fishing, shellfish, and hunting) for $10 – You will need to know the child’s SSN and must purchase the Youth License ahead ODFW website OR from licensed dealer – we are not able to carry this license at our office.
