Prospector's Fishing Adventures
+19Looking 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.

5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on July 1, 2024
Captain Lyle was the best you could have asked for. We went straight to the fishing grounds in his well equipped vessel, dropped off crab pots and then on out a little further. Then up the coast a bit and somehow he knew exactly where the fish were. We caught our limit in less than an hour all 3 of us. Back to the dock within 2 hours of leaving and came back a few hours later to ride out to get the crab pots. Took our 14yr nephew under his wing and had him learning the ropes right away. Captain Lyle is a great guide and I would recommend him to anybody wanting to have a great time going out charter fishing from Newport. We will be back!

5 Hour Trip – Rockfish on May 23, 2024
The Captain is a very good Captain and knows where to take you. He is willing as well to keep you updated in case of weather changes and offers another day if possible. He really wants you to have fun and catch fish. He is all about safety and yours. He is understanding and will accommodate your needs if you need to go back due to sickness or other measures. I had a blast and caught all my keepers. I was rock fishing and he also offered to stay out to catch lingcod but the others and myself had enough and went back. I highly recommend the Captain and his boat. He is great at keeping in contact with you as well.

10 Hour Trip – Halibut on May 10, 2025
Went out for halibut trip. Fishing was slow but still a great experience. Captain Lyle kept us well entertained. Definitely looking forward to rebook another trip later this summer.

5hr Rockfish Trip on September 10, 2024
This was a very good trip,Captain Lyle knew where to go and what bait to use. We caught fish immediately. He was very helpful to everyone on the boat, my wife was having motion sickness and he was able to keep the boat steady and made it easy on her. Definitely if you are looking for a great trip I would highly recommend Captain Lyle.
