Dane and Stephanie Winchester

We have been fishing out of Garibaldi for many years, eventually buying a house in Rockaway Beach since we were here so often. In 2020 we moved to Rockaway full-time, and love being a few minutes from the marina. We fished from a 20′ Duckworth for years before upgrading to a Hewescraft 240 Pacific Cruiser we purchased from Greg’s Marine Service in 2018.  That was the original “Game Changer” and truly changed the fishing game for us, opening up many more opportunities including deep reef and our favorite, Albacore Tuna fishing. The new Game Changer has stepped up our game, winning the Big Fish Friday of the Oregon Tuna Classic.
