Frequently asked
Questions anglers ask
Where do trips meet?
Salmon, crab and striper trips meet at the harbor in Winchester Bay or at Reedsport, depending on the tide and where the fish are. Steelhead, smallmouth and shad trips launch on the Umpqua, Coquille or Rogue. Logan sends the exact launch and start time before your trip.
What is included?
Top-of-the-line G.Loomis and Talon rods with Shimano reels, quality line, terminal gear, hooks and bait. Your catch is cleaned and bagged at the end of the day.
What do I need to bring?
An Oregon fishing license and combined angling tag for salmon, steelhead or sturgeon, plus a shellfish license for crab. Bring rain gear, warm layers, food, drinks and a cooler.
How long are trips?
Most full-day trips run 7 to 8 hours. Afternoon crab-only trips run 1 to 2 hours.
How far is Winchester Bay from Eugene and Roseburg?
Winchester Bay is roughly an hour and a half from Roseburg on Highway 38 and under two hours from Eugene. Coos Bay and Florence are each about 30 minutes away on Highway 101.
Where do I buy an Oregon fishing license?
The easiest way is the ODFW app. You can also buy licenses at Sportsman’s Warehouse, Bi-Mart and Walmart.
Do I need a shellfish license for crab?
Yes. Crabbing requires an Oregon shellfish license in addition to your fishing license.
Can I book a single seat?
Yes. Logan fills open seats on scheduled trips, and you’ll share the boat with other anglers. Call for open dates.
Are food and drinks provided?
No. Bring your own lunch, snacks and drinks.
What gear do you use?
Mostly G.Loomis and Talon rods with Shimano reels. About 90% of trips use spinning gear, with casting reels for trolling salmon.
