Astoria Fishing Report

Astoria offers a variety of fantastic fishing options throughout the year. In 2022 we added some new ocean experiences with the addition of Legion’s Mercy, our 34′ Venture, center-console boat, and we couldn’t be happier. Between the “big” boat and our classic sled trips, there are fishing opportunities for everyone. We’ll be keeping you up to speed with current fishing reports and previews of what’s coming up. Right now we’re heading into the busiest and most exciting time of the year with multiple species to target.

*Current Astoria Fishing Report*

• Ocean salmon fishing has been hot on the days conditions have allowed us to get out.
• Trophy sturgeon fishing is in its prime in July

We’re taking advantage of some nice days on the ocean to get out for rockfish and ling cod off shore near Seaside and Cannon Beach.  Legion’s Mercy allows us to go where most of the fleet doesn’t go, giving us fishing opportunities beyond salmon fishing out of Astoria. We also know of a sweet bottom fishing spot that’s in the river. The season in Astoria is just getting started, so let us know if you’d like to get on the calendar.

Ocean Salmon Fishing

Last year we had some of the best ocean salmon fishing we’ve had in years, and this year might match it. That’s coming from a guy who has spent a lot of time on the water. With multiple boats that can handle ocean and river fishing, we had more opportunities than many of the guides out there. Adding Legion’s Mercy to the fleet in 2022 just increased our options. I’m super stoked for what the rest of the season brings!

Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing

Action in both the ocean and Columbia River. Over 1 million fall salmon will be heading into the river, giving us a long, action-packed season that will run into October. It’s the perfect time to scheduled this year’s trip to check the Buoy 10 salmon fishing box off of your bucket list.

Astoria Bottom Fish

July is the beginning of prime months to hit the ocean for bottom fishing. Rockfish and ling cod will keep the rods (and me) busy. Add in some salmon fishing and you’re in for an incredible experience on Legion’s Mercy, plus a whole lot of fish for the grill and freezer.

Astoria Tuna Fishing

Legion’s Mercy will be ready to head out for albacore tuna fishing beginning in late July. We’re already looking forward to the 2024 season. The action can be fast and furious when we find a school of tuna, making for an experience like no other.

Astoria Sturgeon Fishing

We’re wrapping up the 2025 Astoria trophy sturgeon season, but it’s never too early to book a trip for 2026. Fish will begin arriving in the estuary in late May, and we’ll start chasing monster fish in June. Nowhere else in the world has more sturgeon than Astoria in late June and July and it’s the perfect time to test your mettle against some oversized fish.
