Typically, your journey will commence from the Astoria docks. Capt. Mike relies on weather conditions, fishing regulations, and local reports to determine the hottest fishing grounds. As for the targeted species, depending on the time of year, you'll be pursuing Coho and Chinook Salmon. Even when it's not Salmon season, you're in luck as Steelhead and Sturgeon inhabit these waters year-round.

Your trip includes top-quality rods, reels, natural bait, and enticing lures to attract your catch. Capt. Mike will gladly clean and fillet your haul after the trip. If you wish to practice catch and release, that's also allowed. All you need to bring are warm clothes and a valid Oregon fishing license.
