Oh happy day! We got boats out fishing today on what has turned out to be a great ocean, a little rain, a little wind but very little swell. Way plenty of current though. In spite of that the boats have been doing well on both Ling Cod and Rockfish as evidenced by the picture (fresh picture of fresh fish)! We are adjusting to a new way of doing things with the social distancing and masks etc, but have got things worked out good so far. We have trips scheduled daily, call us to get your fish fix. 541-765-2545

Call the day before your trip to make sure there are no last minute changes.

We want everyone to come and enjoy fishing with us. In order for us to resume operations and keep the doors open we depend on your cooperation with all the new policies. They are not optional, they are required.

Dockside Charters has been working diligently to develop Standard Operating Procedures that will allow us to resume operations while safeguarding our clients, captains, crews and shoreside personnel. What that means is paying special attention to: social distancing, PPE, sanitation, reduced passenger loads, limited office access, eliminating bottleneck areas that cause crowding and any other issues that may impact our ability to provide the service that you have become accustom to.

We are resuming operations with the understanding that we are doing so in a safe, responsible manner.
