About

We offer year-round opportunities to target trophy lingcod and rockfish out of Winchester Bay and Charleston, Oregon. Both ports are very well known for excellent Lingcod and Rockfish and are popular charter departure points.

Lingcod/ Rockfish (2 lingcod/ 5 rockfish limit for 2023)

We target Lingcod and Rockfish year-round, fishing inshore and offshore, depending on seasons and regulations.

While fishing inshore we typically use lighter conventional gear. When fishing offshore we generally use heavier gear with Shimano Forcemaster electric reels to take the work out of bringing your giant lingcod up from the depths. You will be targeting Lingcod and Black, Blue, Canary, Deacon, Vermillion, China, Copper and an assortment of other Rockfish.

No expense is spared – our new 33’x 10’ North River Offshore walkaround is big, safe, and fast, powered with twin 300hp Yamaha’s, with Yamaha’s new Helm Master, and carries 250 gallons of fuel, Seakeeper 2 Gyro-Stabilizer that results in a stable fishing platform, and reducing the chance of sea sickness. 8-man life raft, latest most advanced Garmin electronics available, FLIR thermal imaging camera, private head, diesel heated cabin, EPIRB, Sirius XM satellite radio with Fish Mapping, comfortable seating, list goes on and on. We use Lamiglas rods and Shimano ForceMaster electric reels to take all the work out of bringing lingcod and rockfish up from the depths. If you choose not to use electric reels, and we use lighter conventional Lamiglas rods and Accurate reels for our inshore fishery.
