Ocean salmon seasons will be set next week by the Pacific Fishery Management Council. The season could open in mid-May, although there is word that could be delayed until June or even July. Halibut season will open May 1. We will run trips as the weather allows in May for Pacific halibut. The California halibut will start to show in mid- to late June. Last year, Brookings Fishing Charters was the only local charter company to consistently target Cali Hali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also were the only local charter to run multiple successful trips for albacore tuna. We will start those trips in June or early July, as the tuna get in closer. This is a popular trip, and we put a call list together to fill seats for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lingcod and rockfish has been very good out of Brookings. During the social distancing, Capt. Andy, Capt. Mike and Capt. Rich have all taken family members fishing to fill their freezers as they await charters to resume. We expect lingcod and rockfish to continue to be good in April and May, when we start running again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can still book trips online. We prefer you use the online system for June and beyond. For dates in the near future, please call our booking office at (541) 813-1082.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your patience as we get through this unprecedented time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/brookingsfishing.com\/reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_1656-1024x768.jpg\")
