SOA Charters is located in Winchester Bay and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. You will be joining the crew for a day on one of the local rivers on the captain’s new boat.

Capt. Travis will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 7 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Salmon, Shad, and Bass, depending on the season and conditions on the day. The Smallmouth Bass along with Shad trips are awesome for the little ones. You can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, trolling, drift fishing, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 17’ 2022 ClackaCraft Magnum Power Drifter boat that can safely take up to 2 anglers. These boats are extremely stable and can power through 4” of water.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Captain Travis has fished his whole life. Having grown up in Washington, he fished the entire state and the coast of Washington. He later moved to Oregon where he took up fishing in the shallow waters and in the ocean. Captain Travis is a fun and lovable person whose previous guests have all enjoyed spending time with, and most of whom are repeat customers. He accredits his love of fishing to his late mother who is known to their family as Granny Jean. Captain Travis says his late mother was an avid fisherwoman who had instilled the love of fishing in him from a young age.
