What's the Deal?
This isn't your average fishing trip. We're talking about 6 solid hours of targeting both Chinook and Coho salmon in some of the most productive waters on the West Coast. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, and we're all about putting you on the fish. We provide top-notch gear, so all you need to bring is your excitement and maybe a snack or two. It's perfect for families looking for a fun day out, small groups of buddies, or even a unique corporate outing. And hey, with a minimum of 4 people needed to run the trip, it's a great excuse to bring along some friends or make new ones on board.
How We Roll on the Water
Salmon fishing is an art, and we've got it down to a science. We'll be using a mix of techniques, mainly trolling with downriggers to get our lures right in the strike zone. We typically run a spread of cut-plug herring, hoochies, and some flashy spoons - these salmon can't resist 'em. The Miss Wanda is set up for comfort and fishing efficiency, with plenty of rod holders and space to move around when you're battling that big king. Don't worry if you're new to this; we'll show you the ropes, from setting the hook to playing the fish. And for you experienced anglers, feel free to pick our brains - we love talking fishing and sharing local knowledge.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
There's something special about salmon fishing off Newport. Maybe it's the rush of adrenaline when a chrome-bright Chinook slams your bait. Or the satisfaction of bringing home some of the best-tasting fish you'll ever eat. Our regulars tell us it's the whole package - the thrill of the catch, the beauty of the Oregon coastline, and the chance to create lasting memories with family and friends. Plus, with our affordable rates and potential for discounts, it's a value that's hard to beat for a day on the water.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Chinook Salmon, also known as King Salmon, are the heavyweight champs of the Pacific. These bruisers can tip the scales at over 30 pounds, with some monsters pushing 50 or more. They're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps that'll test your skills and your gear. Chinooks have a rich, buttery flavor that makes them a prized catch for both sport and table. We typically see the biggest runs from late spring through summer, but they can be caught year-round in our waters.
Coho Salmon, or Silvers, might be smaller than their Chinook cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight. These feisty fish usually weigh in between 6 to 12 pounds and are known for their wild, acrobatic fights. They're lightning-fast and love to make reel-screaming runs just when you think you've got them beat. Coho have a milder, more delicate flavor compared to Chinook, and they're absolutely delicious grilled or smoked. The peak season for Coho is typically late summer into fall, but we start seeing them as early as July some years.
Time to Book Your Spot
Look, we could go on all day about how great this trip is, but the best way to experience it is to get out there yourself. Whether you're dreaming of that first big salmon or looking to add another trophy to your wall, our 6-hour charter is the way to go. Remember, we need at least 4 people to run the trip, so gather your crew or be ready to make some new fishing buddies. And here's a pro tip: give us a call or text at 541-819-4240 before you book. We might have some sweet discounts up our sleeve, and we can give you the latest intel on what's biting. Don't let another season slip by without getting in on this action. Book your spot on the Miss Wanda today, and let's go catch some salmon!
Learn more about the species
Chinook Salmon
Chinook salmon, also known as kings, are the heavyweights of the Pacific Northwest. These bruisers can tip the scales at 30+ pounds, with silvery sides and a blue-green back dotted with black spots. They're typically found in deeper waters, often hugging the bottom. Late summer to fall is prime time for kings off Newport, when they're fattening up before their spawning run. Anglers love targeting them for their legendary fighting ability and rich, flavorful meat. To boost your chances, try trolling with herring or large plugs near river mouths or along underwater ledges. Kings can be finicky, so don't be afraid to switch up your presentation if they're not biting. Remember, patience is key with these trophy fish – when you hook into one, you'll know why they're called kings.
Coho Salmon
Coho salmon, or silvers, are the acrobats of the salmon world. Typically running 8-12 pounds, these feisty fish are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Look for them in calmer waters near estuaries or in the open ocean, often traveling in schools. Fall is the best time to target coho off Newport, as they prepare for their spawning run. Anglers prize them for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. To entice a strike, try casting or trolling with bright-colored lures like pink or chartreuse spinners. A local tip: coho can be leader-shy, so consider using a lighter, nearly invisible fluorocarbon leader to improve your odds. When you feel that telltale hit, hang on tight – these high-flying fish will give you a run for your money!
