Salmon Fishing: Chinooks & Cohos
Salmon Fishing
RAMPAGE has downriggers for trolling; or, for those who want to 'feel the bite,' we can mooch/jig. Your trip will be customized specifically for you. We can target either chinook, coho, or both (depending on what's open) and we'll discuss this during the morning orientation.
2023 Season
Will be announced in early April. We will post information here at that time.

What You'll Need/FAQs
Fishing License: You'll need a WDFW saltwater fishing license PRIOR to departure. We sell 1-day licenses you can buy onboard during morning check-in. Or, visit WDFW website for seasonal license.
Catch Record Card: If you purchased a seasonal license, you'll get a catch record card. RAMPAGE does carry WDFW catch cards onboard. You will be instructed to complete one at the appropriate time. Catch record cards are mandatory by state for salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, halibut
Bring: Dress in layers. It can be very cold, wet, windy, sunny, hot, calm - all on the same day.
Food: You will need food for the day. We have potable water onboard. Space is limited, especially on a 6-pk. Pack just what you need for a day on the ocean (lunch and snacks).
Fillet Fee: Our crew will clean or fillet your fish. Fillet rates are posted on the boat, or you can ask your crew. Salmon are cleaned at no charge. Salmon cannot be filleted until at the dock.
Tipping Your Crew: Our deckhands work hard to get the boat ready, keep your lines in the water all day, and clean up the mess after we're done. Please tip your deckhand. We suggest 15% of cost of trip.
