Tornado is a Westport, Washington sportfishing operator that runs targeted salmon and bottomfish trips from the coastal port of Westport. The boat focuses on three primary offerings: dedicated salmon trips, dedicated bottomfish trips, and a combined salmon-and-bottomfish Combo Trip.
The Combo Trip delivers a condensed experience in just over ten hours, allowing anglers to pursue rockfish, coho and king salmon, and Lingcod when conditions allow. The salmon trip concentrates on coastal salmon species — notably coho and king — and follows local Westport fishing traditions that date back to the 1950s. Deckhands aboard Tornado provide hands-on assistance and expert guidance for anglers of varying experience levels. Tours launch from Westport and target species in ocean waters accessible from that harbor.
Booking details, safety practices, and gear requirements are provided at reservation; anglers should confirm specific departure times and filtration or licensure requirements when reserving. Tornado emphasizes reliable trip structure, clear itineraries, and species-focused fishing to help guests maximize time on the water. The operation markets a balance of full-day intensity and streamlined options for anglers with limited time via its Combo Trip.
