Folks please don't try this at home!
Uh Skipper, this is not looking good.
Think I'll ride on the stern.
But my GPS said I was heading EAST?
Think I can miss that rock?
Piece a cake!
What's that guy doing on the bow?
The first three pic's were of two different charter boats entering Depoe Bay. The boats might appear small due to the size of the surf but in fact are 43' delta's. The other two boats were respectable size commercial boats. All are exempt from bar closures.
I did not take these pic's but have one I took of a different charter in some big seas that was predicted to be 17' the day of the picture and posted it on ifish back in February. I do have plenty mind blowing video I have shot with my camcorder over the years before I got my first digital camera however and have seen other video's shot of the charters in Newport. This is just a small sample of what’s available on stills and video.
Sometimes (often times) the money factor has a tendency to make for poor judgment of "when to go, and when not to go".
There are some charters that don't consider fishing these kinds of conditions and hopefully none of them will in the future. I have been out spoken on this for many years now.
