Big Bite Charters
Come fish with Big Bite Charters and create lovely memories on the water! Captain Demar Hagger will meet you in Newport, Oregon and take you to the area’s bountiful fishing grounds both near and far off the shore. Captain Demar is a lifelong angler with a great desire to provide others with fun and productive fishing adventures. Join him aboard and have a wonderful time fishing in Oregon!
Your vessel for the day will be a 30’ TJ Boats aluminum fishing boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. It runs on twin 175 HP Suzuki engines, uses full-featured navigation electronics, and has got a portable toilet you can use. It’s equipped with livewell and downriggers and features a multimedia system, a wireless trolling motor, and an ice-box. In case you need any help while on board, just ask the first mate and he’ll be happy to assist you.
Using light and heavy tackle, you and the crew will be chasing Black Seabass, Salmon, Halibut, and Lingcod. The techniques you can use to attract them include bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, and jigging. Remember that you can bring kids on your trip, keep the fish you catch, and that smoking is only allowed outside the boat’s cabin.
Captain Demar will have ready the fishing tackle, lures, as well as drinks by the time you arrive. Just bring some snacks and drinks before you start the trip and don’t forget fishing licenses.
Big Bite Charters is waiting for you!

5 Hour Trip – Seabass, Lingcod
Fabulous captain!
Demar was truly a great captain. He made sure we were catching fish and having a good time. He was personable and knowledgeable. Went out of his way to help us with crab as well! My husband said he had great music taste too!

5 Hour Trip – Seabass, Lingcod
Amazing trip! 10/10
Demar was an amazing guide all around. He put us on fish as soon as we got out there! His deck hand was amazing as well. If your line got snagged or tangled, he had it fixed within seconds. When you caught a fish, he had it on ice, rebated your pole and had you back in the water immediately. Both of them had great attitudes and made the whole trip fun. Easily would recommend to anyone looking for a charter!!

5 Hour Trip – Seabass, Lingcod
June fishing trip
Demar tried to talk me into canceling the trip because of weather conditions but I insisted on doing it anyway so he drove 2 and half hours to try this for me and my family but after getting about 3 miles out I realized why indeed he wanted us to cancel so for the fact he tried anyway, I think he went above and beyond of what most other people would’ve so I can only imagine what an actual day of fishing with him would’ve turned out to be! I would recommend him to anyone!! Thank you for trying for us captain!
