Rockfish and Lingcod
Rockfish and Lingcod opening day is March 8th, 2025.
Our traditional Bottomfish trip is still the favorite for most. With a 7 fish limit, action on the Black or Yellowtail rockfish gets fast and furious. This is an all ages event, never a dull moment! In addition to the rockfish, we are also allowed to keep 2 Lingcod per person. Lingcod are ugly, but mmm… they taste so good! Herring, shrimp fly lures, and live anchovies are the proven “fish getters” year after year. Thanks to the rebuilding of Canary Rockfish stocks, and the willingness of our fishery managers to relax the regulations, Canary are now 100% keepers! They can make a colorful addition in your rockfish limit. GET THE FRY PAN HOT! WE’RE GOIN’ FISHIN’! (No Braided Line please if you bring your own rod/reel)
2025 Costs: $260 includes pole, bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket.

Combination Trip – Salmon and Rockfish
Will start when Salmon opens, hopefully by late June or early July Official opening date is announced mid April
Combo Trips have become hugely popular in recent years! As the name implies, we combine a Bottomfish trip with a Salmon trip on the same day; generally targeting Rockfish and Salmon. Its true that Salmon are the iconic specie that put Westport on the map starting back in the 1950s. However, as the decades evolved and recreational fishers discovered the value, and delightful taste of the whitefish, Combination trips evolved. We are happy to offer this trip and the chance for folks to experience two very different fish types on the same day, and both as excellent table fare. If you love the taste of fresh whitefish fillets, but desire the thrill of a “Big King” on your line, our combination trip is for you! For more information and selected dates on combo trips, give us a call. HAVE FUN!! You can also click on the menu tab “OUR BOAT/FISHING SCHEDULE” above to see the Hula Girl fishing schedule. (No Braided Line please if you bring your own rod/reel)
2025 Costs: $335 includes bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket.

Deepwater Lingcod
June 1 – 15 and September 1 – 15.
The Deepwater trip will target Lingcod (large variety please) and a variety of Rockfish. Thanks to the rebuilding of certain groundfish species and the relaxing of regulations by our fishery managers, we now get to offer, for a limited time, this special Deepwater Fishing Trip. We are also happy to say that Canary Rockfish (but not Yelloweye) which have been off limits for years are now rebuilt and available to us in the Rockfish limit. Great News!!!
These trips will take place in offshore waters, some of which have been closed for many years but recently have reopened for short periods. We are really excited to add this Deepwater experience to our suite of fishing opportunities. As with all other trips, these will be limited loads. Trips will be available during the first two weeks of June and also the first two weeks of September. That is how the regulations are set up so we are promoting this Deepwater Trip during the two open periods. Remember, like Halibut, these trips can be physically demanding, so if you’re a bit frail or new to ocean fishing we continue to recommend the regular Bottomfish trip that still targets the delicious whitefish, Lingcod and Rockfish, and typically fishes in depths less than 300 feet.

This is a physically demanding trip, but extremely popular with the adventurous. Fishing depths range up to 700 feet, and we generally travel out 35 miles. Regulations restrict Halibut fishing to designated days until the quota is reached. Rockfish and/or Lingcod are also pursued as a secondary target when time and weather permit. These additional fish make a great Bonus to an already exciting trip! Remember, space is limited, so to avoid disappointment, book early. We begin taking reservations on January 1st, 2025 for these selected dates.
2025 Costs: $435 includes bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket.
