Windsong Charters: Offshore Bottom Fishing from Neah Bay

Located on the rugged Olympic Peninsula’s northwestern tip, Neah Bay, Washington stands as a gateway to some of the Pacific Northwest’s richest offshore fishing grounds. Windsong Charters LLC delivers an unparalleled bottom fishing experience here, inviting anglers to cast lines against a backdrop of cold, clear waters and breathtaking coastal scenery. Operating out of 1251 Bayview Ave, this charter specializes in a personalized sunrise adventure aboard well-equipped vessels, where skill and patience meet striking early-morning calm.

The Windsong off-shore bottom fishing trip stretches over approximately 9.5 hours, providing ample time to target species thriving in this area’s complex marine ecosystem. The seabed around Neah Bay is marked by deep underwater canyons and basalt formations, habitat to abundant rockfish, lingcod, and Pacific cod. These species attract anglers looking for quality sportfishing beyond the usual nearshore haunts. Owner and operator Ben coordinates start times precisely according to the season’s sunrise, ensuring anglers experience prime light and quieter seas.

What sets Windsong apart is its balance between adventure and comfort: rods and reels are ready-to-go upon boarding, and the crew is skilled in guiding regardless of experience. The morning’s tranquility, amplified by the distant cries of seabirds and panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is an ideal setting for both serious anglers and those chasing memorable moments on the water. Anglers should bring their Washington State fishing license, appropriate weather gear, and patience to savor the unpredictable nature of big-water fishing.

Neah Bay’s fishing tradition is deeply entwined with the local Makah Tribe, who have harvested these coastal waters for centuries. Sharing this respect for sustainable fishing is important to Windsong Charters, which adheres to regulations designed to protect delicate fish populations and marine habitats.

This trip not only delivers a chance to fish some of the Pacific Northwest’s most productive waters but also offers insight into a region where culture, nature, and sport converge. Whether you’re seeking a personal best catch or a serene day on the water, Windsong Charters in Neah Bay offers an authentic and immersive bottom fishing adventure.
