I'm headed to the PDX area for 2 weeks real soon. On of my bros-in-law wants to hit the coast for rockfish & lingcod. Any advice on places to go? Or to avoid?

I am no expert, but I have visited the area, Tillamook area should have some good charters for deep sea fishing, I am sure Astoria has some also. Myself, I would see if salmon were around too. There are charters all down the coast, so decide were you want to head and check for charters.
