Washington/Oregon coast fishing

A friend gave me an invite just offshore of the OR coast for coho last week. 4 guys on the boat, limited our 8 fish before 11am, threw back about twice that number that were undersized or wild fish. Had a few fast and furious moments with 4 fish on 4 rods.

That’ll be a bunch of fun. It’s not Alaska, but you’ll have a good time out of the heat.
I haven’t fished albacore here, but have buddies going out this next week. It’s supposed to be getting good.

We did a big charter boat out of Westport a few years ago, it was a good time. Went for bottom fish, once we had the rockfish limit for the boat then we went after lingcod. I want to go back and fish a couple days and do some DIY from shore.

Your timing is good. Best salmon season in many years,kings and silvers. Have you already booked your trips?

We did an off shore bottom fishing trip two weeks ago out of Newport. Managed to limit out the boat for rock fish, then went for cod with no luck.
Make sure, if you’re able, toss out some crab pots as well. We ended up limiting our on dungenous crab for the boat also.
Cooked up some rockfish for dinner last night, very mild white fish. Even my kids liked it.

Also, 4 out of the 5 in our group, including my two nephews spent a significant amount of time chumming over the rail. Hit the Dramamine if it’s remotely possible to be an issue.
Yep we have

I hope to make it over to Westport in September for the tail end of salmon and a day of deep water rockfish and lings. Awesome fleet of boats and captains out of that port.

Can't beat the Oregon coast for crabbing. Dropping the pots off on the way out to fish is a big bonus.

Bonine. Works as well as Dramamine without the drowsinesss. Really helped me on some multi-day trips out of San Diego back in the day.
We are going out of Ilwaco

What works for me is taking a dramamine before going to bed the night before and then another an hour before boarding the boat.

Never fished out of Ilwaco. Milton, the owner of Pacific Salmon Charters came over and fished crappie with me years ago. Good crabbing out of there.
We are going with seabreeze charters
Scopolamine patch placed behind your ear is an amazing non drowsy prevention for motion/seasickness. Requires a prescription from your doctor. Game changer for me in bumpy small airplanes and on the water.

I do a week trip there every summer. Just got back yesterday. Always come back with great pics, memories, and fish. The lingcod didn't bite well this year, but the cabezon did. The Kings were biting better than the coho, but bigger cohos this year. Overall great trip.
