Prospector's Fishing Adventures
Prospector's Fishing Adventures
Looking for an offshore fishing adventure on the Oregon Coast?
Look no further! Come fishing with Prospector's Fishing Adventures, where every offshore trip is a thrill of a lifetime!
Experience the thrill of fighting a monster Halibut or Tuna to delicious Lingcod, various types of Rockfish, Salmon, and the tasty Dungeness Crab!
Our home port is South Beach Marina in Newport Oregon, but we will take trips out of Depoe Bay, Coos Bay, and various other ports in Oregon dependent on weather conditions and where the fishing is better at that time of year.
Trips range from a short 5-hour Rockfish trip to a 12-hour Tuna trip. All Halibut trips are 10 hours. All trips can be customized to maximize your fishing adventure. Crabbing can be added to any trip for an additional fee with the exception of Tuna Trips.
Your fishing adventure will start with a safety briefing given by Captain Lyle aboard a 30-foot North River Offshore boat constructed specifically for the offshore waters of the Oregon Coast. It is powered by twin Yamaha 200hp outboard engines, with an enclosed cab to get away from the elements. A marine head is also available for guests' use. The boat is equipped with 2 state-of-the-art depth sounders/fish finders, 3 VHF radios, radar, and an autopilot. The Prospector is capable of reaching speeds of 45 knots as you travel to your fishing destination and carries a maximum of 6 anglers: 4 anglers on longer-range Tuna trips.
All Rods, Reels, Terminal Tackle, and Bait are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, catching fish!
Downriggers and Outriggers are used for trolling for Salmon or Tuna.
All you need is an Oregon fishing license, an angling tag if fishing for Halibut or Salmon, a shellfish license if chasing Crab, and some drinks or snacks of your choice to make the most of your time on the water. A minimum of 3 people is needed for the boat to leave the dock unless prior agreement is made.

Brett Treadway5.0VerifiedOne of my bucket list things to do.
10 Hour Trip – Halibut on July 4, 2026 • 4 adultsCapt Lyle and his wife Stephanie were fantastic!! Super nice people and went above and beyond to help us catch Halibut. Seas were a bit rough but it didn’t stop Capt Lyle!! We were one fish shy of limiting out and if the seas weren’t so rough I’m sure Capt Lyle would have stayed out to get that last fish. If your are looking for a guided trip out of Newport with just your family or friends, Capt Lyle and Stephanie are super great people to be with out on the water. They will also process your catch!! We are already planning on booking another trip and it won’t get here soon enough!!

5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on July 13, 2026 • 5 adultsThis was our first time to do anything like this.  lila was a great communicator from the start including answering questions before we even officially booked. He was ready for us at the docks. We went out and had our limit by 8:30 AM. When we got back in,  he cleaned the kitchen and had it ready for us shortly after. Would absolutely recommend Lyle to anyone, especially if this is your first time. 
Cori Bitz5.0VerifiedFantastic first trip deep sea fishing!
5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on August 6, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain Lyle was great! Called to make sure we were all ready and answer any questions we had the night before and was ready for us with everything we needed for the morning of fishing! We all limited out and even in rough seas had a wonderful trip! He is highly experienced with a calm demeanor that makes everyone feel comfortable and confident on the boat.
Doug ChimpkyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedLimited Out in an Hour and a Half
5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on May 9, 2026 • 3 adultsI took my 2 boys rock fishing and we had a great experience with Captain Lyle. The Prospect is a really nice boat and the Captain maintained it very well. We all caught so many fish that we limited out in an hour and a half. I highly recommend anyone wanting to fish to use his service

5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on June 24, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenCaptain Lyle was a delight to fish with. He was very kind and patience with our four kids ages 12 to 4 years old! We had a blast reeling in rockfish and limited out!
David Hiebert5.0VerifiedBeautiful day beautiful fish and perfect captain

5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on July 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had a great time with Lyle! We will book another trip with him next time we are in Newport.
Joshua Simpson5.0VerifiedCouldn't Have Asked for a Better Time
10 Hour Trip – Halibut on July 5, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Lyle and his wife Stephanie were wonderful hosts on their boat! They informed us of all the requirements on board (no bananas allowed!) upon arrival. The weather was perfect, so the ride to/from the fishing hole was a pleasant one, but not without a bit of excitement. The captain knew the area well and ensured we all reached our limit, plus caught a canary rockfish and some others. Cpt. Lyle and Stephanie hung around upon arriving at the dock, helped fill out catch tags, and ensured that our fish were cleaned, packaged, and ready to go before we left. 10/10, no notes. If anyone wants to know how to run a fishing trip, study Cpt. Lyle.
Timothy Wright5.0VerifiedA great experience for kids!
5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on July 9, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 childrenI took my son and my nephews to fish for black rockfish and crab. We limited out on black rock fish within 1.5 hours of fishing! Crabbing took longer and was a slower day but was still fun. Lyle’s wife/deckhand was very good with my 10 year old boy and the other kids! My little boy always has dozens of questions and she was very patient, knowledgeable, and nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this charter! It was well priced for the experience, a lot of fun, organized, clean, and a great time!

The charter operation canceled -7 days after the trip date.
I had an excellent experience on this trip. On the way out to the fishing location and throughout our time on the water, we had a great conversation with the captain, and the overall fishing was fantastic. Unfortunately, I forgot to take my medication, so I had to stop fishing a bit early. However, we remained out on the water, and my friends continued to catch several more fish before we decided to head back. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. I plan on booking another trip for next year and may look into booking a tuna trip as well. 5 stars.
Captain Lyle was awesome, on time, went through all safety precautions on the boat with us before we left dock and was very personable, his boat and fishing gear were excellent and he was very clear in his instructions on how to fish. As for fishing it was excellent, we limited on rockfish within a few hours and Captain Lyle also sent us home with a bonus limit of crab. Overall great experience and Captain, highly recommend a trip if your in the newport area!
