Welcome to Woody’s Northwest Fishing & Fun—your go-to fishing charter service based in Depoe Bay, the world’s smallest navigable harbor and one of the best jumping-off points for fishing Oregon’s Central Coast. Whether you're looking to battle salmon, chase steelhead, or load up on bottom fish, we've got a trip for you.
With years of local experience and a passion for putting clients on fish, Captain Mike runs trips year-round targeting everything from Spring Chinook to Lingcod. We primarily launch out of Depoe Bay, but also fish Siletz Bay and River, Nestucca Bay and River, and Garibaldi during peak runs and when conditions are best.
