Another nice ocean day on the Pacific and the Surfrider was out there and came home with a terrific catch. The captain reported that the rockfish bite was "fast and furious" and then they had to change over and use different tactics and scratched their way to a Lingcod limit as well. Good weather in the forecast so give our office a call.

It was a really nice day and the fishing was great with limits of Lingcod for all passengers and real close to a limit of rockfish as well. That's the way it's been now for quite a while with excellent Lingcod fishing and everyone then had to work hard for the rockfish limit. Crabbing which was pretty good for a few months now has slacked off and only around 1-2 per person. The boat captains are saying as it normally is this time of year many-many commercial crab boats out there so we are competing with them for the crabs in the area. One more real nice day with three Dockside boats out there tomorrow and then back to the bad weather again beginning Saturday well into next week it looks like. We will keep you informed.

February Lingcod fishing

"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"

Tuna / Fishing Report:

02/10/2024

The Lingcod fishing this winter has been really good on the days we have been able to get out due to the ocean conditions but February has historically been the best time to get the bigger Lingcod. The large Lingcod spawners are usually in on the inside reefs at this time. Yesterday and again today proves that with limits on the rockfish and the Lingcod and today we are already on the way to limits with one boat limited on rockfish and Lingcod already. The crabbing is about two per person.

Our next trip out with good ocean weather will be this coming Tuesday.

The 2023 ocean salmon season for the upcoming summer season with marked selective Coho salmon fishing beginning June 17th and running thru the last day of August.

There will also be a September non-marked selective coho fishery like in past years somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 fish with a possibility of a rollover from the summer quota if anything remains. There could be a possibility of a Chinook season of one fish in that time also. Final decisions will be made by the PFMC at their annual meeting May 7th.

We finally found a hole in the winter coastal weather and got out on the water with a great crew of folks looking for some great fishing. The Surfrider under the leadership today of Captain Roman found the fish and had a really good trip. As you can see by the picture the Lingcod fishing was terrific as we even had to throw some back as they were biting so well. Came home with a few short of a rockfish limit but all in all a nice ocean and a great day.

As it does in the winter months the ocean returns to its nautical self beginning tomorrow so we will let you know the first window we see coming up down the road.

We found a hole in the weather as we have to this time of year and it proved out to be a great day for our customers here at Dockside Charters. Both of our vessels out today the Tacklebuster and the Surfrider limited out on both rockfish and Lingcod like the one in the picture to the left. Both boats also were crabbing and came home with 7+ crabs per person. Finding days between now and after Christmas looks a little iffy so keep in touch with our office on trips we are trying to schedule.

It was a great fishing day out on the water today as the Tacklebuster and the Surfrider both limited out on rockfish and Lingcod. The picture on the left shows you folks the quality of the Lingcod we have been catching and the rockfish are showing great variety as well. This time of year the crabbing can be hit and miss but this winter so far as the season has been open now for a few weeks has been terrific. One of the boats out today had 90+ crabs onboard and the other had 100+.

We have more trips going out tomorrow and we are beginning to work on Thursday of next week as we go thru a little ocean weather the first part of the week. Give the Dockside office a call for all of the updated information.

We got out on the water Saturday and the ocean was more than decent for fishing but it was a little windy and wet out there. So they put on the rain gear and had great fishing with limits of the rockfish on both boats out there. The Lingcod was not quite as good as the past 3-4 trips but one boat was just a few short of a limit and the other was a few north of 1-per person. It was also our first trip of the new recreational crab season which opened December 1st and for this time of year it was pretty good. One boat had 4-per person and the other came home with 8-per person.

The weather today picked up with 15 foot swells and lots of wind but it will be coming down by tomorrow. We do have trips already scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday also looks like a really nice ocean day with light winds, no rain and really nice seas.

Give our office a call to check on any trips we have scheduled.

The quota proposal accepted is 110,000 fish. There will be no Chinook salmon retention due to lower than expected numbers in the California zones.

There will also be a September non-marked selective coho fishery like in past years somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 fish with a possibility of a rollover from the summer quota if anything remains. There could be a possibility of a Chinook season of one fish in that time also. Final decisions will be made by the PFMC at their annual meeting May 7th.

Another absolutely beautiful fall ocean with some cold temperatures as we left the docks but the heavy coats were replaced by T-shirts later in the morning.

We caught some absolutely beautiful ones for the passengers and the rockfish bite a little slower but we got limits on them for almost everyone.

Friday's trip was on a beautiful ocean but a bit chilly at the beginning. The rockfish bite on the Tacklebuster was red hot as no matter where they went the rockfish were biting. It was not to later in the morning that they found a really good Lingcod bite and brought home a good number by the time the trip came to an end.

Beautiful ocean Saturday to fish on as it was a bit chilly at the beginning but became really nice as the morning moved on. The rockfish bite was good but not as good as yesterday but the Lingcod bite was really good with the Surfrider bringing home 25-30 of those critters. The one on the picture to the left is an example of the many caught today.

10/05/2023

It never seems to fail that sometime in mid-July or so the Lingcod either disappear or just don't bite much then sometime in the start of fall around this time they seem to be back on the bite again. True to that theory they are back on the bite as the last two trips out they have been showing up in good numbers on the filet table. Today on the Surfrider with still about a half hour to go on the fishing side of the trip the boat is limited out on rockfish and just two short on the Lingcod like the one in the picture to the left. Crabbing info later in the day.

Got out on the water today on a decent ocean with lots of blue sky out there. Fishing was really good with lots of rockfish and the better news was that the Lingcod after being a little pokey the last month have begun to take on that fall bite once again. The crabbing was also about the same as it has been with 6-8 per person. Sounds like really nice weather thru the weekend so get out there with Dockside and catch some of those fall Lingcod.

09/30/2023

On the last day of salmon season The Triumph came home with 8 huge salmon to finish off the 2023 season. The summer season was about normal with the adipose fin law with all the throwbacks but most folks will tell you that the September season minus the adipose fin law was one of the best we can remember. It was not just good fishing at the start but it went right to the last day in September.

The bottom fishing was really good today with all bottom fishing boats getting there limits on the rockfish and there were some Lingcod caught but not a great deal of them today. The picture shows this young lady holding one of the largest Vermillion rockfish a lot of us can remember caught on the Sunrise this morning. Crabbing was 6-10 per person on a fleet average.

Had a great day on the water today with the Sunrise salmon fishing and collected 19 salmon for 11 people as the picture shows. Amazing September salmon fishing as there were a few times when we thought they had finally moved out of the area and then they come back or a new lot of them swim thru Depoe Bay waters.
Tomorrow is the final day of the September salmon fishery.

We had quite a few bottom fishing boats out there today and most if not all of them limited on the rockfish but not a whole lot of Lingcod were caught today. The crab catch was good around 9-per person average on the boats crabbing.

Tuna / Fishing Report:

09/19/2023

RECREATIONAL OCEAN SALMON ACTION NOTICE, September 19, 2023: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the State of Oregon, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, and fishery representatives met today via conference call and have taken the following in-season management actions related to the ocean recreational non-mark selective coho salmon season from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt.:

ACTIONS TAKEN:

The remaining impact neutral rollover of coho remaining from the hatchery selective summer season was made to the non-mark selective September season from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. This resulted in a net transfer of 2,000 coho and a revised quota of 42,500 coho for the September season.
The ocean recreational salmon season between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mt. reopens to the retention of coho salmon effective Thursday, September 21 at 12:01 AM through the earlier of September 30 or the revised quota of 42,500 coho. Daily bag limit of two salmon but no more than one Chinook

Season Info:

There will also be a September non-marked selective coho fishery like in past years somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 fish with a possibility of a rollover from the summer quota if anything remains. There could be a possibility of a Chinook season of one fish in that time also. Final decisions will be made by the PFMC at their annual meeting May 7th.

2023 PROPOSED HALIBUT SEASON

SPRING: May 1 - June 30th, 7 days a week. Limit one fish per person. For 2023, the regulation has changed and we will now be able to keep Rockfish,Black Cod and Lingcod on our offshore Halibut Trips!

Will try to get the bottom fishing report later but wanted to report the Tacklebuster with a full load of salmon fishermen limited out the boat this morning. This as you might know is the final day of the non-selective salmon season and the Tacklebuster on a tip traveled 12+ miles to give that tip a try. The tip worked out great as the picture to the left shows some of the happy Dockside customers onboard this morning.

Bottom fishing today on one boat reporting started out quite slow but improved as the morning went on. A few folks got rockfish limits and crabbing was like yesterday around 7-8 around.

The bottom fishing was really good today with rockfish limits on all the BF boats with some Lingcod and Cabezon in the mix. Crabbing was between 5-8 per person. We also had several afternoon bottom fishing boats come in about an hour early with rockfish limits and a scattering of Lingcod an Cabezon.

Salmon for the 2nd day in a row was a little pokey but there's word of a good number of fish just north of Newport so our salmon boats tomorrow on the final Coho salmon day of the season will be heading further south in the morning

Salmon for the first time since the non-selective salmon season started September 1st was a bit on the slower side today. The ocean did not help very much being under a thick fog cover and the water was on the nautical side.

Bottom fishing was good for the rockfish bite and we did see some nice Lingcod and Cabezon on the filet table but they also were mostly closed mouth as well. Again...tomorrow is another day and in ocean fishing that usually turns back the other way.

Not a lot of information on bottom fishing today but the word was in the morning into the afternoon the bite went from ok to a trickle up on the northern reefs. Crabbing however remains very strong

Tuna / Fishing Report:

Sounded like salmon fishing was a little slower today than the past 4-5 days but it was still really good. Lots of salmon and big ones came to the Dockside filet tables to some happy customers.

We do have a tuna boat out today and hope to have a report for you sometime early this evening.

Bottom fishing was really good today with the Tacklebuster finding his customers in a Canary rockfish-fest bringing home lots and lots of the very good eating deep water rockfish. There were also in the fleet lots of Lingcod caught today out in the deeper water. With the water temperatures nearshore pretty warm the place to be at least today was the deeper water. Crabbing was really good today with one boat limiting out his customers with 12 per person.

As the picture suggests the salmon are still in the area and really biting as the Triumph came home with a limit of salmon in just a little over 2-hours of trolling time. They are really nice healthy fish also so now is the time to secure spots on the Dockside salmon boats and bring home some nice salmon for the vacuum packer.

Bottom fishing was terrific today as all of the Dockside bottom fishing boats got the rockfish limit and a few nice Lingcod plus some really big Cabezon. Both the Surfrider and the Sportfisher had great trips and had some really nice crab coming into the crab cooker. The weather sounds really nice thru this weekend so call our office and book a fishing trip.

The bottom fishing was great today as was the salmon fishing. The Sportfisher was in on the inner reels up off Lincoln City and secured a rockfish limit on the first few drifts. There were a few nice Lingcod on the filet tables as well.

The Tacklebuster was out on the salmon grounds and brought home 25+ salmon for his passengers. The salmon have been biting really well since they opened the non -selective season last Friday and historically it will not last all that long as the fish continue to move north or the quota is reached.

Of course, the boats crabbing had a big day as well.

We have a tuna trip tomorrow going out and the words are they are inside 20 miles so a great time of the summer to go. It's been quite a few years past since the tuna were in this close and the boats from Dockside are out on them every chance we get when trips are scheduled. If you need tuna for the winter and have your canning jars ready it could not be a better time because it will not last forever. The weather coming up from what we are looking at sounds like good weather to be offshore into next weekend.

It was a good day on the fishing grounds for Dockside Charters with great bottom fishing out there on a little roll-e ocean but did not keep the fish from biting. One of the big boats (Sunrise) was back in early with a boat limit. Some big ones have come in lately including the one in the picture to the left. There were some nice Lingcod in the catch mix today as well. Crabbing remains very respectful after one slower day this past week.

The salmon fishing for the 2nd day in a row was terrific as we don't have to worry about the adipose fin and these fish are really big as well. Some of the salmon the boats are bringing in are upwards or 12+ pounds. The Triumph one of the 6-pac boats came in with boat limits and crew fish. The water was a bathtub temp of 58 degrees and we also caught some mackrel this morning as well.

Todays Halibut trip on the Surfrider ended up going in many different directions. With 13 passengers out on the trip today the summer Halibut fishing can be slower than the spring season. That was the case today as we did bring in 8-Halibut that made it to the filet table this evening. The cool news is that the captain and crew had the initiative to look for other options for the passengers and ended up going after Albacore tuna that were jumping in the area and brought home 18 of those guys, They also in edition brought home quite a few nice sized Lingcod and rockfish. Good trip today.

Longleader limit decreased starting September 5trg

"THE FISHERMAN'S CHOICE"

Tuna / Fishing Report:

08/30/2023

The recreational offshore longleader gear fishery daily bag limit lowers from 15 to 10 fish beginning Tuesday, Sept. 5 to avoid overharvesting canary rockfish.

A record estimate of 1,500 recreational longleader fishery trips were taken in July and decreasing the bag limit is needed to avoid exceeding the 62.4 metric ton limit on canary rockfish. Good weather and a first-time bag limit of 15 fish per day that began March 1, saw high rockfish harvest.

Bottom fishing was really good today and lots of fish were landed and brought to the filet folks in front of Dockside Charters. A few Lingcod were in the mix. No report on the crabbing today.

The Surfrider is out on the Tuna grounds today and we will report the results hopefully this evening sometime.
(update) As of 2:30pm this afternoon the Surfrider still fishing had 46 Albacore tuna

The morning catch of bottom fish was good this morning with a nice array of different bottom fish and some nice Lingcod. No report on the crab catch today.

Tuna / Fishing Report:

08/28/2023

The salmon bite today was much like it has been with 11 salmon landed on a trip this morning but only three were keepers. Remember Friday starts the "not to worry about the adipose fin season" and runs thru the end of September or until quote is caught.

We had a good bite on the bottom fishing trips this morning with the Samson out in the really deep water and catching a limit along with some nice looking Lingcod. The other bottom fishing boats were up off the normal fishing hole around the Lincoln City area and also caught limits of rockfish and also landed a good number of Lingcod. Crabbing was really good but only one boat reported about 6-around for their passengers.

Tuna trips going out tomorrow and Wednesday but those trips are full right now. We do have others scheduled so give the office a call for those dates. We also have a HALIBUT trip scheduled for Thursday and we do have some spots still available for the trip so to reserve call our office real soon for your spot on the boat. The Surfrider will be running the trip and provides customers with all ELECTRIC REELS.

Some boat operators are calling the Pacific Ocean these past few days Lake Pacific. The ocean is as flat as it probably could be and is fit for anyone for fishing or whale watching.

Salmon fishing took off like a bang this morning but slowly went to almost nothing. Our salmon boat out on a combo trip landed 10-fish but only was able to keep 3 of them by the last radio response.

The bottom fishing improved quite a bit today with lots of rockfish caught mostly Black rockfish on the inner reefs and almost entirely Canary rockfish on the deep water adventures. One of our larger boats brought back in 135+ crabs this morning.
