The Boats & Equipment
We use extremely high quality boats, rods, reels, bait, lures, equipment and gear!
We know this is important to you, and we know that it's one of the things you expect from a first class guide service.
This is important to us as well, so we use nothing but the best. On a world class fishing trip, there just isn't room on the boat for "good enough".
We have two boats. All of our guided fishing trips are run in our spacious wide body custom made boats that very comfortably seat up to six anglers!
The Boats
Our 28' Willie Nemesis. 30 MPH cruise speed. We take six anglers, however it has seating for eight.
- Technically known as ... "Lacey's Boat". This boat is moored at the West Mooring Basin in Astoria Oregon.
- This vessel is made by a company called Willie Boats out of Central Point Oregon. They are known for producing the absolute highest quality boats with unsurpassed customization options and the finest fit and finish in the business.
The great folks at Willie Boats were very gracious to do this video. Definitely worth watching.
Our 36' 7" Yellowfin, the Liberty Gun. 40 MPH cruise speed. We take six anglers however it has seating for 13.
- The "Liberty Gun" ... named after a race horse. This boat is moored at the Ilwaco Marina just accross the river from Astoria.
- This vessel is made by Yellowfin Yachts out of Sarasota Florida. This model is known for being the flagship of their center console lineup. Renowned throughout the world for having an exceptionally dry, fast and comfortable ride.
- Kevin almost had to go to the ends of the world to get the Liberty Gun and I would do it again in a split second. It's just an absolutely amazing boat to be able to fish out of.
- 900 HP
- Two large live bait tanks.
- A ridiculous amount of fish holds.
- 511 gallons of fuel fills her up!
Cody Herman & Samuel Pyke are so kind to us. They made this video that gives a pretty good idea of what life on the Liberty Gun is like.
We use Maxima Fishing Line because it's amazing, tough and crazy strong!
