Fishing Seasons

We fish the lower Columbia River and Ocean out of Astoria Oregon and Ilwaco Washington. These locations are about 20 minutes from each other. We fish from May to mid October.

Halibut & Lingcod

This season begins in early May through June & we often get extensions throughout the summer.

Chinook & Coho Salmon

Also known as Kings & Silvers ... we start fishing the ocean during late June and follow them from the ocean into the river all the way into October.

Trophy Sturgeon

Early June through July is prime time in the river for these huge fish! This is a catch & release fishery, where the average fish run four to seven feet in length. A high catch rate is the norm on these trips.

Albacore Tuna

Live bait Albacore fishing at it's finest! Starting in mid July all the way into October.

Rockfish & Lingcod

Seven days a week from May to mid October.  Highly productive and extremely fun; you never know what you're going to reel in!

Combo Trips!

Late June into mid September. Salmon & Lingcod/Rockfish? Sturgeon & Salmon? These are a couple of the typical amazing  combo trips!
