Background
For Captain Joe, there's something magical about being on the ocean; the experiences he's had on the water are some of the most memorable and vivid memories of his entire life. The ocean challenges, rewards, humbles, and teaches... sometimes all at the same time! He has spent his entire life on the water, not only fishing, but kayaking, snorkeling, racing sailboats, and more. He's fished all over the West Coast for numerous species and enjoyed the challenge of the hunt and especially the table fare of freshly-caught seafood. It’s Captain Joe's goal to provide a memorable experience in the ocean that is safe and fun. He enjoys meeting new people and sharing what he knows about catching fish off the coast. One of his favorite experiences taking people out into the ocean is seeing them land their first Salmon, Halibut, or whatever kind of fish they are chasing. The captain will work hard to get you on the fish and make sure you have a great time. After a really successful first year in operation in 2022, Captain Joe and Good Time Charlie Sportfishing are looking forward to an even better 2023 season on the Oregon Coast!

Coho Salmon Showing Up
Coho Salmon Showing Up
Jun 30, 2025 Newport
The coho salmon fishery is starting to get going for us. While they are still summer size, they seem be be a little bigger than normal this year this early. Looking forward to some days of fast action in this fishery. It can be hard to keep more than 3 rods in the water when the bite gets hot! This is a good introductory fishery for kids just getting started in salmon fishing because there's usually pretty good action.

Lingcod bite stays HOT!!
Lingcod bite stays HOT!!
Apr 18, 2025 Newport
The spring lingcod bite remains HOT! Good quality fish and lots of action. Been consistently bringing home limits of nice lingcod and good grade rockfish when we can get out. Fish have been biting herring, jigs, live kelpies, everything. Lots of fun for adults and kids alike. Get out here while its hot!

Hot lingcod fishing
Apr 3, 2025 Newport
Left the dock shortly after first light on an outgoing current. It was a little bumpy going over the bar but once clear of the ebb slop the ocean was beautiful! Turned into a spectacular spring day off the oregon coast. We had steady action on good grade rockfish from the beginning of the first drift. The lingcod bite is excellent too. Limits of lingcod and rockfish for the boat and back to the dock well befofe lunch. We got lingcod on flukes, gribs, herring, shrimpfliesโ€ฆwhatever we threw at them, they ate it today! Great crew work, good storytelling and an excellent vibe all around! What a day on the ocean

Outstanding lingcod bite
Outstanding lingcod bite
Feb 13, 2025 Newport
This is one of our favorite times of the year to fish our nearshore lingcod fishery and today didnโ€™t disappoint! We left the harbor shortly after sunrise with a brisk easterly breeze and bone chilling 37 degree temp. The breeze made it feel like mid 20s; fortunately the cabin was warm and spirits high. We passed a couple commercial crab boats in the channel on the way out and headed towards the fishing grounds. The first drift was a little faster than i like due to the breeze but we quickly hooked into a couple lingcod and rockfish. Hy the second drift the wind had backed off a bit and the temp was warming up as the sun rose in the sky. No swell whatsoever and shaping uo to be a beautiful day. Action was consistent on the ensuing drifts and everyone was having a good time talking story and reeling in fish. The crew work was outstanding with everyone working together and enjoying the day. We fijished the day with limits of lingcod and rockfish. We also released a bunch of legal sized lingcod once we had already reached our limit and were working on our finishing our rockfish bag. Such a special winter day with a flat ocean and excellent fishing with fun crew!

Halibut Fishing
Halibut Fishing
Jul 1, 2024 Newport
While incant say that halibut has been lights out fishing, weve been able to score some quality fish. In order to do this weโ€™ve definitely had to sort through many small ones. We try to only keep better grade fish unless weโ€™ve injured the fish while bringing it to the boat. Id rather send people home with one excellent quality fish rather than two little dinky ones! One 40โ€ fish will yield as much and possibly more meat than two 30โ€ fish combined when it comes to halibut. I want your bag of filets to be nice and full when youre heading home! Nothing like fresh pacific halibut for tablefare!
