As the fall approaches, so does the golden Chinook season in Tillamook Bay, and it would be a shame not to make the most of it. Captain Eric Baird of Play N Hooky Guide Service is in the know of the awesome fishery in these parts, and he makes it his business to take you out and show you a good time on the water.
Come aboard captain’s 26' Willie Raptor boat fully equipped to take you to the red-hot Salmon bite of the day. She’ll easily make her way through the waves thanks to the 225 HP Yamaha engine, and what’s more, she can accommodate up to 6 anglers excited to start off their next catching expedition.
Capt. Eric will provide all the fishing equipment you’ll use on your 8-hour trip, so you don’t need to worry about rods, reels, or terminal tackle. Another great perk is that whatever you catch, you will bring home cleaned and filleted so that you can enjoy the fruits of your hard work as soon as you can get close to a stove.
If you’d like to fish with Capt. Eric for more than one day and fill your freezer with fish fillets, Decide how long you’d like to fish and stay in Garibaldi, and Capt. Eric will take care of everything else.
In September and October, waters of Tillamook Bay are abundant in fall Chinook, as well as Coho Salmon, and your captain will organize a trip that will allow you to test your skills and luck. This is the best chance to hook something colossal on these waters, so cast your line and wait.
You’re welcome to come with a close group of angling buddies and see who will have the biggest catch of the day. If you’d prefer to come with your family, that’s perfectly fine too, Capt. Erics is fond of having kids on board, and he has appropriate life jackets for them.
Play N Hooky Guide Service is ready to put you on your new personal record, are you ready to take on the challenge?

Caught limit of kings plus some crabs! Eric made it a great experience and a day to remember. Would recommend to anyone.

thxs again gentleman, it was a great morning 👊🙏

The trip was great. Both my wife and I reeled in a Coho.

it was great having you guys !!

Captain provided clear and ample information to ensure this became the trip of our lifetime. We never fished for salmon before and after clear instructions given prior to the trip we reeled in our limit within a few hours. Besides catching a super size Chinook we also saw various whales, seals, sea otters and Dungenous crabs. A never to forget great trip.

Thanxs guys see u in a couple days 👊
Garibaldi, Oregon, United States
Captain Eric Baird has spent the last quarter of the century casting his line in the waters around Washington and Oregon and he's got ample experience to share with his customers. His parents' love of fishing and the great outdoors was what got him into fishing in the first place. Today, Capt. Eric enjoys the most taking out families with kids and helping them reel in their first catch.
