The coastal waters offshore from Brookings, Ore., are home to some of the best salmon, lingcod and rockfish opportunities outside of Alaska. Salmon topping 50 pounds are caught each October as they wait for fall rains to enter the Chetco River. Easy limits of black rockfish are common throughout the year. Trophy lingcod are caught in February through May.
Oregon Coast native Andy Martin, a Coast Guard licensed offshore captain, knows where and how to catch rockfish and lingcod year round offshore of Brookings and is an expert salmon troller when the kings and coho are in season.
When not taking customers on trips out of Brookings, Andy guides on the coastal rivers of Oregon and Northern California, and during the summer, runs a charter boat in the Gulf of Alaska, pursing record-size lingcod, trophy halibut and salmon.
Andy is used to working hard to catch limits in Oregon. That same work ethic has allowed him to enjoy incredible success in Alaska, where many of the local charter skippers simply go to the same spots everyday, whether they are productive or not.
Off of Brookings, Andy’s customers enjoy light-tackle action for rockfish and lings. Andy’s favorite offshore season is the October ocean salmon season. A typical trip includes trolling for big kings at the mouth of the Chetco out to the buoys and getting a limit of rockfish before heading back in.
Brookings, Ore., has the safest bar - or river crossing into the ocean - on the entire Oregon Coast. This allows anglers to fish year-round, weather-permitting. Winter-time ocean fishing is much more limited out of other Oregon ports.
Crabbing trips in Coos Bay are also available and are popular during the holiday season.

From late April through mid-September, Andy takes customers in pursuit of trophy halibut and lingcod in Gustavus, Alaska, as well as plentiful silver salmon. For more in Alaska halibut and salmon, click here.

"We had a great trip fishing with Andy. He worked hard to get us on the fish, first the halibut and then the salmon. It truly made our trip to Alaska the trip of a lifetime."
