    Great time fishing!

    10 Hour Trip – Halibut on June 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    Our trip with Salt Shaker charters and Capt Dominic was a blast! He and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful to my group on our first charter out of Newport. You could tell safety was priority with all the precautions on the bar crossing, but after we were through, it was game on! We hit multiple bottom fishing spots where he put us on some great halibut, ling cod, and rock fish! The gear was top notch, with brand new electric reels and rods. The boat was a fishing machine that handled the waves well. The large fish deck and comfortable cabin was perfect for such a long trip; we didn't feel beat up afterwards at all. Overall, it was a great experience that I hope to do again soon! Thanks!

    Epic fishing and crabbing on the Salt Shaker

    5 hour Bottom fishing on August 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Spent 5 hours with Dominic and Conner fishing for bottom fish. On the way back in we pulled some crab pots. Couldn’t be happier with the harvest. Limits on both sea bass and crabs. Some of the biggest sea bass and crabs I’ve ever got. Excellent Captain and Conner was the best. I highly recommend them and the boat was top notch.

    10 Hour Trip – Halibut on June 21, 2026 • 5 adults

    We know a lot of fishermen. Dominic and Conner are up at the top. Our 4 daughters took their Dad out for Father's Day. Everyone was encouraged, helped, and enjoyed. Never once were the girls made to feel lesser due to lack of knowledge. And we have 15 gorgeous, delicious fish.
