Are you interested in an Oregon steelhead outing? The Umpqua and Coquille river systems are tops in the state for big fish and big numbers.  Expect plenty of action.  You will be maneuvered into the best spots for hooking these awesome fish.  Winter steelhead fishing starts in December and lasts through April.   We use a technique called side drifting using spinning gear and light action rods out of a drift boat.

How about some of the finest eating fish around?  Halibut charters out of Bandon start in May and run through October on specified dates.  Albacore Tuna fishing begins in late June or early July and lasts through October.   Bottomfishing out of Port Orford, Bandon and Charleston for Ling Cod, Rockfish and Cabezon starts in April and runs through late-October.   

Last but not least, Chinook and Coho salmon. Expect bright, high quality salmon. Spring Chinook fishing on the lower Umpqua runs from late March to June.  Ocean salmon charters out of Winchester Bay and Charleston run May to September.  Tidewater fishing (Umpqua, Coos and Coquille) runs August through late-October.  Elk and Sixes River fishing runs late- October to January.
