You'll be out on the water with working fishermen who genuinely love what they do, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Oregon coast.
The real highlight is the tangible reward - pulling up traps loaded with fresh Dungeness crabs. There's something deeply satisfying about harvesting your own food from the ocean.

Local Species Insights: Dungeness Crabs
Dungeness crabs are the stars of Winchester Bay's crabbing scene. These crustaceans thrive in the bay's cool, nutrient-rich waters and are known for their sweet, tender meat. The crabs live on the bay floor, and the trapping method used in recreational crabbing is straightforward - you set baited traps, wait for them to do their thing, and haul them back up.
What makes Dungeness crabs such a prized catch is their abundance during peak season and their exceptional quality. They're hardy creatures that handle the journey from trap to table well, which is why they're a staple for both commercial and recreational fishermen along the Oregon coast. When you're crabbing in Winchester Bay, you're tapping into a tradition that's been part of Oregon's fishing culture for generations.
The crabs you catch will be in top condition - vigorous and fresh - because you're pulling them straight from their natural habitat. This hands-on experience gives you a real appreciation for the effort behind commercial fishing and the quality of locally sourced seafood. It's one thing to buy crab at the market, but it's entirely different to catch it yourself.
Winchester Bay provides consistent crabbing opportunities because of its geography and water conditions. The bay's protected waters and healthy crab population make it ideal for both guided and independent crabbers. When you fish with Cody Van Dell, you're benefiting from his understanding of the best times, locations, and techniques that have proven successful year after year.
