Anyone fished out of Westport WA?

I am taking my son and going there for a few days in September. The plan is to do a different trip each day. One for Salmon, One for Albacore and a day of bottom fishing, Ling and Reef Fish. Looking for places to stay.

We’ve been there a bunch.  There’s a couple  places with little cabins that are great.  Fishing is fantastic.  Albacore should be insane then.  To this day the funnest fishing I’ve ever done.  Patrick Walker is who we go with, runs a 6 pack out of there and will put you on fish.

We limited out on cod, halibut and king salmon last year. The cabins are perfect. 
 

we came through Portland. Can’t speak to the charters as I was on a private boat, but it’s a super active marina.

Thanks Gents. I am looking at the Westport Inn which has some cabins. He and I haven't been Albacore fishing in probably 25 years. The ones I see in pictures from Westport Charters seem a lot smaller than the ones we caught out of San Diego.

The limit is like 15 or something though isn’t it

I figured it was five. Had to google it and it says there is no limit. I'll have to look into that.

No limit on albacore.  I think you’ll plug the boat with around 100 total in a 6 pack boat.  They’re 10-25#.  Fight like crazy though.  Bait stopping for albacore is truly the most fun I’ve ever had fisbing

I’ve fished there along time ago with my Dads fighter pilot friend who turned commercial fishing guy.  Have fond memories of that trip.  Was a small boat and we went out against the tide.  It was crazy that boat was going over cliffs with the chop I thought it was going to break in half.  We caught a lot and he dispatched them with an old rusty 22.  One of many great trips!!  Throw a nickel on the grass save a fighter pilots butt hallelujah yah hallelujah yah throw a nickel on the grass and you’ll be saved     Dad passed at 87 yesterday boy we had some fun!!  Go get em!

Sorry to hear about your dad. Glad you got those memories. A life lived right!

Sounds great. Sorry about your dad passing. My Mom was also 87 when she passes in 2016. I've heard it can get hairy for smaller boats when crossing the bar.
