4.9/5 (56 reviews)

Book your next trip with Plug's N Bug's guide service and find out what fishing in Gold Beach is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Mathew can tell you all about the local fishery.

Chinook Salmon, Lingcod, Coho Salmon, Black Rockfish, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

You'll step aboard a 21' Aluminum fishing with room for 4 passengers. It has a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. A few items to bring include snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Alcohol is allowed.

Plug's N Bug's guide service will make it easy for you to go fishing in Gold Beach. So, how about booking that trip?
