Aside from a little tsunami trickery last week, halibut has been very good fishing lately! The Gracie K has room on Thursday to sneak offshore before the weather might start turning on us for the weekend 🌬️

Well 🤦🏻‍♀️ If you've been trying to get ahold of us today, this is why you're not getting through! We thought it was an especially quiet day... Please email or message us if you need to book a trip, make changes, or ask questions! Thank you!

These kiddos had a blast hauling in fish after fish on Friday!

Don't forget: Halibut opens May 1st! We still have a few spots left for opening weekend, and Coho Salmon was opened up on the calendar last week, so now's a good time to lock in your summer dates ☀️⛱️🌊🎣

**SALMON UPDATE**

For Newport and the Central Oregon Coast, Coho Salmon opens June 7 through August 24 or 44,000 fish. This is the mark-selective season so all Coho must have a healed adipose fin clip. The limit is 2 Coho per person or 1 Coho and 1 Chinook until July 15 when Chinook closes. Size minimums: 16" Coho, 24" Chinook.

The non-selective Coho season opens September 1-30 or 30,000 fish. Any two salmon, hatchery or wild, may be kept.
