Description
If you want the "Trophy Size" lingcod, this is the trip you won't forget. Never a dull moment with lot's of action, lot's of fun, and lot's of fish. This is definitely not your typical "bottom fish" trip. We target the "Trophy Lings" in deeper water up to 175 feet. We also catch a variety of larger rockfish on this trip up to 15 pounds such as: China, Canary, Tiger, Vermilion, Quillback, Cabezon Rockfish, and more. This is the most unique and exciting fishing trip on the Southern Oregon Coast. We fish near shore (1-3 miles) up to 10 miles south for those tasty large fierce fighting Lingcod. These trips run 6 hours, and we offer two trips each day to pick from. This is a one-of-a-kind fishing adventure with lots of activity and fun. Great for both families and avid sport fishermen.
Special Touch: We custom make all our tackle which includes: Copper Pipe Jigs are made by hand. We cut the pipe, melt & pour the lead, and use nickle plated hooks. We use several different size jigs depending on depth, drift, and other factors in the ocean. This is one of the things that makes Pacific Charter Services one of the best charters on the Oregon Coast.
