OCEAN AND RIVER FISHING TRIPS

If your idea of a good time involves early mornings, salty air, and the chance to battle something wild on the line, Mayhem Outfitters has the trip for you. We run hard-hitting fishing adventures across the Northwest – from world-class salmon runs at Buoy 10 to jet boat steelhead trips deep in the Rogue and Umpqua river systems. Prefer salt to fresh? We’ve got you covered with ocean days chasing lingcod and rockfish, plus crabbing and dropping pots for spot prawns while you’re at it. Whether you’re after chrome-bright springers, trophy lake trout, or a full cooler of coastal seafood, we’ll get you there with the gear, grind, and grit it takes to do it right. Check out our current lineup of trips and book your next fish story.

SALMON BUOY 10

The Buoy 10 channel marker is located at the mouth of the Columbia River where the Chinook and Coho Salmon begin their annual migration from the Pacific Ocean upriver. Their bodies go through a rapid change and their kidneys must adjust to accommodate the water change. The Salmon eat every bit of food they can before they head upriver to spawn. As a result, there is a large amount of hungry and aggressive fish that make for spectacular fishing.

$250.00 Per Person/Day
$1000 for 4 person minimum to reserve the whole boat. 

COLUMBIA RIVER STURGEON

These prehistoric fish are the largest gamefish found in Oregon, and one of the largest freshwater fish found anywhere in the world. Anglers frequently catch and release sturgeon of 10 feet or more on the Columbia River but these fish are capable of topping 20 feet.

CATCH AND RELEASE: $175.00 Per Person/Day
RETENTION: $250.00 Per Person/Day
