The fishing report for Depoe Bay today was fabulous!  Limits of fish throughout the harbor!  Rockfish, Cabezon, and Ling cod are all biting. We even saw Chinook and some huge halibut today.  One halibut was officially checked in and weighed 85lbs!   I saw another that looked well over 60lbs.  I actually cut open that halibut’s belly and it was full of crabs!  Anyhow, we are still scheduled to go out on the opening day of the deep water season on May 10th.  It’s not too late to book a trip with us.  With all the great reports of big fish, we anticipate  a super halibut season.  It’s already off to a great start for those targeting the near shore fish.  We hope to hook into some big fish during the deep water season.   See you one the water!

The ocean was a little “wrinkly” coming out of Depoe Bay this morning, but not too bad once past the middle grounds.  We had a swift current which made it challenging to fish the bottom for Ling Cod, but we did manage to limit the entire boat with rock fish.  We still boated a half dozen ling cod, despite the super fast drift.  No other boats that I know of went out of Depoe Bay this morning.  No crabbing reports.  

Weather has been fantastic and so has the fishing!  While some people limited, others decided to take full advantage of the sun and nice ocean by soaking up the rays and putting down their fishing rods.  People were just eating up the great weather and having a good time, whether they were catching fish or not .  We boated many Ling Cod, but one was weighed by ODFW and it tipped the scales at 25llbs.  We also spoke with other fisherman and most boats were limiting.  There were many people on the water and many reports to be given.  Overall the fishing has been excellent!  The crabbing wasn’t hot, but it was good.  Everyone had at least 2 crabs per person on our boat.  If the weather and ocean holds up, we should expect good fishing to continue.  See you on the water!

We had near limits if fish and great weather!  The Cabezon bite was hot, with some real nice fish being boated!  The ocean was very nice and the sun was shining!  There is rain in the forecast this week, but we are hoping for some sunshine this weekend.  Fishing should continue to be good, with mixed catches of rock fish including Vermilion, Quill Back, Copper Rock, Cabezon, Blue and Black rock fish.

We had a great day on the water Sunday, and we want to thank everyone for choosing Tradewinds Charters, and especially for fishing with us on The Amigo.  It was a pleasure meeting everyone.  We hope you all had as much fun as we had.  Captain Perry and I look forward to an exciting summer packed with action and familiar faces.  Remember to request, The Amigo, when booking your next trip if you want to fish with us again.

A special thanks to everyone who fished with The Amigo on Sunday!

Travis, Tyler, Sammy Hagar, Micheal Jackson, That Guy, Lori The Fish Killer, Super Jeff, Sailor David, Abby Road, John, Andrew, Ken, Mathew Montoya, and Scary Kary!  Hope to see you this summer!
