Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing Finally
Although it’s a bit late to jump on my schedule for this year, I wanted to provide a quick update on the action we’ve been experiencing this past week on the Lower Columbia River. Tides slowed down starting Wednesday and with it, the fishing came unhinged. Really insane bites have developed with an absolute pile […]
Buoy 10 Article
I know many of you that fish with me also fish on your own. Here’s an article that I put together over at Fishwire.net that explains the ins and outs of moving with the tide at Buoy 10 on the Lower Columbia River. It creates a scenario for those that might not be familiar with […]
Buoy 10 Mayhem
Yes, it’s a wonderful fishery and this year, it’s particularly wonderful. I’ve been down in Astoria running charters now for just 4 days, but thought I’d give everyone a report. I started Tuesday with a “first trip” for the new boat. I was very glad to spend it with two of my 3 favorite girls […]
Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing- Better than predicted
Many of you may know that my boat of the last three years has been sold and a new one will be here and ready Monday just in time for 17 days of Buoy 10 madness. I scheduled the whole boat build in between summer steelhead and the buoy 10 season so as to not […]
Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing- Make your move
Many of my customers don’t just fish with me, but also do a bunch of fishing on their own. The Buoy 10 fishery in Astoria on the Lower Columbia River is one of those fisheries that at times looks really easy, but as many of you may know there’s more to it than just showing […]
Columbia River Fall Salmon- Buoy 10 and Klickitat River looking good!
Fall Salmon fishing is looking good for our Columbia River Buoy 10 and Klickitat River fishery. To summarize today’s meeting- managers are looking for similar Fall Chinook numbers to return and significantly better Coho or Silver numbers. I currently have a few random seats and a couple days open for each fishery. Don’t wait if […]

Summer break means More Fishing!
The 2013 Spring Chinook season won’t go down as a barn burner by any means, but I’m grateful for those that came out and am happy with how the boat fished. So with the Willamette and now Tillamook behind us, it’s time to look forward to some fishing that I’ve really grown to love. Columbia […]
A New Life for Willamette River Springers
Not exactly a banner year for Willamette River Springers, but the perfect antidote for bad fishing is often supplied by mother nature. The cool temperatures that we’ve experienced in the PNW for the last couple weeks have cooled water tempertures to the point where the fishery is back and could I say- better than ever? […]
Tillamook Bay Spring Chinook
It’s that time again and am excited to get on some of these coastal bruisers. I did a post today with pictures over at FISHWIRE.net on the most recent fishing that you might want to check out. Tillamook Bay Spring Chinook fishing is just getting going and after a lackluster Spring Chinook season on the […]
