About Deep Sea Fishing Fishing in Winchester Bay
Winchester Bay, Oregon offers some of the finest deep sea fishing fishing on the Gulf Coast. Winchester Bay is a small fishing village at the mouth of the Umpqua River with a reputation that far exceeds its size. The Umpqua produces world-famous salmon and steelhead runs, while the offshore waters deliver halibut, lingcod, and rockfish. Salmon Harbor Marina is the base for charter operations in this uncrowded, authentic fishing community. The deep sea fishing waters here — deep Gulf waters beyond the continental shelf, blue water, and offshore reefs — provide world-class angling opportunities that draw fishermen from across the country.

From legendary bays to productive reefs, here are the top deep sea fishing fishing spots your captain will target in the Winchester Bay area.
Umpqua Deep Reef
Umpqua Deep Reef is an offshore structure approximately 15 miles from Winchester Bay where lingcod, Pacific halibut, and rockfish concentrate over hard bottom in 200 to 400 feet. Charter boats from Salmon Harbor target the reef during halibut season.
Umpqua Tuna Grounds
The offshore waters west of Winchester Bay attract albacore tuna during their late-summer coastal migration along warm-water boundaries 30 to 50 miles offshore. The tuna fishery provides exciting light-tackle action from August through October.
Cape Gregory Grounds
The offshore waters near Cape Gregory south of Winchester Bay hold Chinook salmon during their coastal migration, with trolling at 100 to 250 feet producing quality fish from spring through fall.
Winchester Canyon
The submarine canyon offshore of Winchester Bay channels deep, nutrient-rich water toward the coast, creating upwelling that supports productive fishing for salmon, lingcod, and rockfish along the canyon's upper edges.
