Memorial Day Fishing on the Oregon Coast
Many people enjoy getting out of town to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend with friends and family. This year was no different and the Oregon Coast had some beautiful weather that was perfect for fishing. It’s just the start of summer and we’re excited for all of the fishing that will take place in the […]
Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing Mayhem
I like to do a little more blogging than I have been able to do the last few weeks, but with the Buoy 10 Salmon fishing season, I’ve really been living hand to mouth trying to keep up with everything. Customer fishing trips, bookings, boat repairs, egg curing, radio and a little time with the […]
2014 Columbia River Fall Chinook Fishing
Big Fall Chinook returns are in store for the upcoming year on the Columbia River. On the heals of the recent Columbia River Coho predictions, yesterdays release of expected 2014 Fall Chinook returns will have fishermen throughout the region excited about what’s to come. We’ve seen some nice returns since the early 2000’s, but we’ve […]
2014 Columbia River Coho Salmon Season is Forecasted to be Exceptional

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 fishing looking even better
Most of the email alerts that I get aren’t much. A sucker fish had a baby. Manatee falls in love with whale, etc. Typical headlines that are quickly jettisoned into my cyber trash can. But occasionally such a release actually means something like the one I got last week on this year’s Columbia River Fall […]
Ocean and Mouth of the Columbia River Coho looking much improved
I have to admit right now, I didn’t miss the lack of Coho Salmon last year. I say this with full understanding that had the Chinook not shown up in the salt and river the way they did, it would have been curtains for sure. But fortunately for sports and charter boats alike, the Ocean […]
