Looking for a family-friendly, high-yield fishing trip? Newfin’s rockfish charters are a favorite. These trips usually travel 5 to 10 miles, targeting near shore reefs and underwater rock structures where schools of rockfish gather.
With over 25 species in Oregon waters—like black, blue, yellowtail, and vermilion rockfish—anglers can often catch their limits quickly. You’ll also have a shot at lingcod, a prized predator often lurking nearby.
These trips are great for beginners, and action starts fast. The limit for rockfish is 4 per person and on July 1 will change to 5, in addition you are allowed 2 lingcod each.
