DEEP WATER BOTTOM FISHING
This is the same targeted fish as bottom fishing only deeper waters which yields larger
Rockfish and larger Ling cod. These trips are more enjoyable if you have some
experience with a regular bottom fishing trip.
This season is open for a period of time in June and also offered in the month of
September. This fishery targets 7 Rockfish and 2 Ling cod- the same delicious white fish
great for baking or frying. Rock fish can weigh anywhere between 3 to 8 pounds with
Lingcod coming in at 10 to 40+ pounds. It’s not uncommon to catch the vibrantly colored,
Canary rockfish while on these excursions. These trips are longer than our nearshore bottom fishing trips and return to port between 4 and 5pm.
This varies based on catch rate, distance to the fishing grounds and weather.
Departs : AT 4.00 AM
Season Starts: May on Halibut days, June 1-15 and all of September

Great time. Lots of fish. Even had a chair for my 91 year old grandpa to fish from!
The Slammer took us out even though there were only 3 people booked. I took my father in law who had an excellent experience. Unfortunately I got sea sick and missed most the action, but I truely appreciated the fact that the boat even went out with only 3. If I decided to go out again, it would be with the slammer.
Had a great time fishing for bottom fish on the Slammer out of Mutineer charters. We started with rock fish which did not take long to get the boats limit of 7 fish each. The skipper actually dropped the anchor to fish this spot which something that I have not seen on the ocean. We used live bait (anchovies) which kind of surprised me, but it was effective. We used light gear with 10 lb test line which was really a hoot. From there we moved a short distance and fished for flounder. These fish were small, but we were motivated because the flounders were to be the bait for our true target, which was ling cod.After the flounder we moved to another spot in deeper water to fish for ling cod. This spot was in deeper water so we couldn't anchor but the skipper did a great job of keeping us over the fish. We limited out with 2 nice size ling cods per person and a few extras for the crew.The deckhand did a great job keeping us rigged up and baited. He also filleted all the fish for a good price.The only downer was my mistake. I like to follow the track of the boat using my phone and a marine map. Apparently, this is a huge no no. They are concerned with people stealing their spots. I totally understood the skippers concern, so I turned off my phone and put it away. As angry as he got, I'd think he would put up a sign or something telling folks that gps tracking is verboten. Or maybe something in the terms and conditions.I would definitely go bottom fishing on this boat again. The skipper has good knowledge and boat skills. If there are bottom fish to be had, he will put you on them.
The Gold Rush experience was awesome! The entire crew was punctual, very knowledgeable, and particularly patient. Having never fished in the ocean before, the deckhands “Aardvark” and “Peaches” (clearly not their real names) went above and beyond frequently untangling my line until I finally got the hang of it. When my husband got wicked seasick, they were compassionate and understanding. Peaches was like a spider monkey constantly moving around the boat and never slowing down. Aardvark was all smiles and was very willing to share his knowledge, and with him around, I never once had to bait my hook. The deckhands even cleaned and filleted the fish while it was underway so when we got back to the dock there was no waiting around. We didn’t have a stellar catch - but that wasn’t on them at all, it was simply because the fish didn’t feel like biting that day, but the captain kept moving us around to try and find good hidey holes. I’d go back aboard Gold Rush any day!
Went out with Colby on Real Electric had a great time limited and back at the dock by 11:30. Colby was on the fish right away, he had no deck hand and kept everything going great guy. I will be back.
Our tuna trip was AMAZING!!! Colby, our captain, and deckhand Tory were very knowledgeable and entertaining. We can't wait to book our next trip with Mutineer Charters on the Reel Electric!!!
Everything was first rate…from booking, communications, the boat (Slammer), skipper, deck hands. Caught our limit and back in by noon. Wow!I have fished with the Slammer before. This time I took two of my grandsons (16 and 11) out for their first trip. They caught a lot of fish, the deck hands were great with them. They had such a good time they want to go with me again.I gave my grands two rules - don’t fall overboard and don’t puke on grandma. Good thing they followed the rules! No puking at all! Lol
Had a great time on Stardust with Captain John and deck hand Dalton. They both worked together to make our time on the boat wonderful. John certainly knows where the fish are as we limited out before 10 am. Thanks for a great trip.
My son, three fiends and I went Salmon fishing out on the HOT Pursuit today. The Captain and the deck hand, who is the Captain's daughter did an awesome job today. The boat limited in about 2 hours and the crew handled it prefectly. They took time to make sure everyone had what they needed to be successfully and enjoy a day of fish. I will be recommended them to my friends in the future.
Great experience with Skipper John and deckhand, Dalton, on Stardust. Great crew and very helpful. Took my family on their first charter boat fishing for combo. They loved the nonstop action of the rockfish and the fight of the salmon. They even got to see and (inadvertently) catch shark which was pretty awesome for my 10 year old nephew. Would recommend this boat and crew. We limited by 1230.Make sure you layer up as it is cold and can be windy in the AM and hot in the afternoon. The seas were rough in the morning so take medicine if you are prone to motion sickness!
My son and I went out on the Slammer, what a great time. Our deck hand Brodie was amazing and if we go again we hope he is still there. Easy to reserve but do it early in the season, they will fill up. Best to stay in a hotel in walking distance. Go the night before and be ready to get up early, be on boat by 0530. June was nice because weather was nice. We caught the limit on Bass and Lin-cod was fun to fish. Tip Brodie well he works hard.Thanks guys for something to remember.
Mutineer charters was exceptional. I have had half -a- dozen charters in may past. This was the best. Check in was very easy, the crew was very helpful, the Skipper was on target for fishing. We limited the boat of 20+ in less than 3.5 hours. He was excellent at steerage keeping the boat as stable as possible and the run home was very smooth. The crew was very good at fileting with minimal waste. Will use again!!
Always a great time when fishing on the Stardust. With John and Dalton they always they work there buts off to give you the best fishing experience. As do all the Mutineer skippers having fished with them all over years.
Wow-what a Fantastic day we had on the Slammer!!Capt. Rhett seriously knows his stuff (I’m pretty sure he’s a fish whisperer, cause we were always on fish), He & his Excellent Crew took care of our large group (some who knew what they were doing and many who did not) with ease.We happened to hit some pretty rough water, as the winds unexpectedly came up, but still we almost all came home with our limit of fish.Thank you, Mutineer Charters, for a wonderful day of exciting Fishing and a freezer full of Good Eats!! We’ll be back!
I have been fishing in the Charter Slammer with Rhett for almost 9 years. I cannot say enough great things about Rhett and his operation. I’ve never been disappointed with fishing off of his boat.
I've been fishing with Rhett and the Charter Boat Slammer for many years. Year after year, he runs the best boat out of Westport. Always a good crew, very helpful, informative and lots of fish. NOT just fishing, it's an experience. Highly recommend.
Mutineer charters is owned by an experienced charterboat skipper. I have fished with him for years. The chater service has multiple boats to choose from all with great skippers and deckhands that will provide the highest customer service and quality fishing experience.
Great company. All skippers have years of experience. And do their very best to give you a fantastic fishing experience. You will not be disappointed. My Uncle Willie had a fantastic time while fishing on Charterboat slammer and so have I
