Rock Fish and Ling Cod

Also known as bottom fishing - Our bottom fishing trips depart at 6:00 a.m. (unlike the rest of the fleet which leaves at 7) and return around 3:00 p.m. Typically we start the day catching Rock fish with light tackle. Our goal is to fish suspended fish on reefs and rocks with light tackle usually we catch fish in the top 50 feet of water. Once we have caught our 10 fish limit on these delicious fish we spend the rest of the day targeting bigger ling cod. The limit on Ling Cod is 2. For tackle we recommend just renting our gear but you are welcome to bring your own but to keep things uniform we prefer you use our light tackle for rock fish but you are welcome to bring your own. Bait varies, when live bait is available we use that, other wise we use plastics like grubs or fish traps also small iron jigs like a 2 oz point defiance dart. Many times ling cod are caught on 4" to 7"swim baits while fishing for rock fish. We have a good selection of these at our office. For ling cod you will need 4- 12 oz banana sinkers and a #40 mooching leader with 4/0 – 5/0 hooks. If, you are renting our rods this will be supplied for you. Filet fees are $8.00 for a limit of rock and $3.00 for each ling cod. no styrofoam ice chests.

Multi Day and one Albacore Tuna - We offer one and two day tuna trips, our one day trips leave around 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. to get you to the tuna grounds early and return to the dock 12 hours later. Our two day trips depart Westport in the evening Between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. and return two days later around 3:00 p.m. There is no limit on these fantastic eating fish except by how many the boat can hold. But we urge everyone to be responsible and not kill what you can not use. We enjoy a world class Albacore fishery and want it to stay that way for future generations. Our two day trip average over the last 4 year, is around 18 per person. We typically troll until we locate the fish then switch to live bait. If you have never experienced the thrill of hooking up with these strong fighting fish then wait no longer. Breakfast and dinner are offered on the Rampage for an extra $25 which you can pay when you board the Rampage. Fish filleting is $4.00 per fish. You are welcome to bring your own tackle we recommend a 6' to 7’ medium action rod rated for #20 to #40. Most experienced anglers will bring several rods one for casting plastics one for dropping irons and a couple bait rods with different line sizes. #25 to #40. Although it is not necessary, but you will learn that there are many ways to catch these fish. All we ask is that there is no braided line and no styrofoam ice chests. This is an extreme sport it requires good physical strength and agility if you have physical limitations please discuss this with our office prior to booking.
