When it comes to fishing on the Oregon Coast, Charleston has a number of charter fishing companies, offering seasonal excursions that leave from the harbor.
On a typical charter excursion from Charleston harbor, you can fish for a wide variety of bottom fish, like blue, black, tiger rock fish; cabazone, yellow tail, vermilion and ling cod are abundant as well. Most charters in Charleston also offer seasonal excursions for salmon, tuna and halibut.
Whether your entire family likes to fish, or just take in the magnificent ocean scenery and wildlife, chartering an excursion out of Charleston will give you a perspective of the Oregon coastline that can only be experienced from the sea. Depending on the time of year, you can see ocean mammals that migrate through, or make their home in the local waters, such as seals, sea lions, whales and more!
