Ocean Salmon Fishing Has Kicked Off out of Garibaldi, OR

The 2025 ocean salmon season is just about here, and we’re gearing up for another solid run out of Garibaldi, Oregon. First trips head out June 25, departing daily at 5:30 am.

This early season typically brings consistent action on Coho salmon, and we’ll be running ocean trips through mid-August—until the fishery closes. We reopen September 1 for the non-selective Coho season, running daily for two weeks, then switching to Wednesdays and Saturdays through the end of September.

Prefer to fish in calmer water? Tillamook Bay salmon trips also start September 1 and run well into October. It’s a great option as the fall bite picks up.

Every Garibaldi ocean salmon charter includes dropping crab pots—so in addition to fresh fillets, you’re heading home with Dungeness crab cleaned and cooked. No extra fees, no cleanup at home.

Trips last around six hours, but most days we’re limited out well before that. Our focus is simple: fish hard, have fun, and make sure everyone on board gets a great experience.

If you’ve got dates in mind, it’s a good time to get on the books. Shoot us a message or give us a call.
