July Is Finally Here! Time to Smash Some Ocean Fish!
This is the time of the year I highly recommend coming out fishing! The ocean is full of fish! These trips are action packed with multiple hook ups at a time and getting the most bang for your buck! We leave from Hammond Marina out of Hammond Oregon and head out to the Salmon grounds, targeting Coho and King Salmon until we get our limits(2 per person). Then once we have our limit of salmon we run back in and fish the sunken jetty for Lingcod, Sea Bass, Cabezon and Greenling (limits are 2 Lingcod and 5 bottom fish per person). Then after all the fish catching is done for the finale we go and pull the dungeness crab pots (limit 12 per person) before heading back in to take care of the days harvest.
Coho Opener Out of Hammond or This Year on June 22nd
Once we get back in, there is a few options as far as taking care of the catch. We will have the crab cooked immediately at the marina store and I will clean them and bag them for you. While the crab are cooking I will cut up and bag the fish for you, unless you want to have your fish vacuum sealed and then we will have the marina store cut and pack them for you(extra cost). These trips are great for getting all the variations for a true captains platter and for filling the freezer!
Don’t like the ocean?! The Lower Columbia has world class Sturgeon fishing in the month of July. This is a Catch and Release fishery that will absolutely wear you out. We target these fish in 2-8ft of water and almost every one of them instantly explodes out of the water as soon as you set the hook! If you’re looking to catch monster fish on a catch and release fishery then look no further! These fish average 4-5ft and 6-10ft is almost daily!
