If you were headed to the Oregon Coast would you try a Bottom Fish, Coho and Crab 8hr trip ? It isn't the $240 it costs , but is it a good time ? Elbowed up for most of a day ?
I went with Dockside 15 years ago I think. But it was a 5 hour Coho trip. Not so sure about 8 hours. But I did book it anyway about 5 minutes ago. The wife said do it ! So I chose the Coho , Crab and Bottom fish. I saw the Crab limit for Dungeness is 12. That is higher than I would imagine. Plus 24 Rock Crab of any size or sex.I fish with dockside charters out of depot bay. Been out half dozen times in the last year. $100 for bass and ling, 5 hr. Best ling fishing just ended so I've heard (winter). 40' boat, can be 20 people but never really had an issue. Drift is the biggest problem, they use 4oz weights, 6+ is what the regulars use. We always look at the wind and swell data before we book. We have not done salmon with them. I have done salmon with Yaquina Bay charters a cpl summers ago and that was fun. We were on the owners boat.
I had to change from Tradewinds to Dockside. Tradewinds boats are old. They had a boat tgat ran out of gas while fishing. Coast Guard had to tow it .Congrats! I have Docksides fish report as one of my open tabs. Seems it's been a tad slow lately. Salmon are pretty much a no show.
It was 25".How big was the ling?

Tradewinds let me cancel. She saw me walk over and pay at Dockside. We fished on the Sportsfisher Boat.I was going to add to my first post that Tradewinds would never see my money but you had already replied and mentioned tradewinds was booked. LOL
You go on the Samson or Surfrider?
