When you're in the mood to chase magnificent fish and enjoy intense fishing action, turn to Woodys Northwest Fishing & Fun! Hit the waters of Tillamook Bay with Captain Michael Woodward, and he'll make it his mission to take you to the best bite.

Capt. Michael knows the most productive spots in the bay that will put you on big Chinook and Coho Salmon that can weigh up to 50 pounds. During the high season (April–December), you'll come face to gills with these feisty and delicious fish that will fight you for every inch of the line.

Steelhead and bottom fish are also in the cards, if you'd like a mixed bag, as well as Dungeness Crab. The captain will provide top-of-the-line fishing gear, as well as live bait and lures to entice and hook your prey.

When it comes to your ride and fishing platform, you'll come aboard a 21' aluminum fisher that can easily accommodate up to 4 people. With twin 115 HP Yamaha engines, quality GPS, and fishfinder, the vessel is well-suited for different fishing conditions. Whether it's trolling, drift fishing, jigging, or bottom fishing, you can do it easily from this boat.

Catch cleaning and filleting is included in the price, so you'll get your catch ready to be cooked. In between bites, you can admire the stunning views and diverse wildlife – sights of bald eagles and redtail hawks are regular, and you can even see killer whales in September.

As you can see, this is a well-rounded fishing expedition for all levels of anglers, kids included. All you need is a fishing license with tags, appropriate clothing, drinks, and food, Capt. Michael will take care of everything else.

Let Woodys Northwest Fishing & Fun open new fishing horizons for you, right on the waters of Tillamook Bay!

    Cheeto and Frito catch a Unicorn Spring Chinook

    Shared King Salmon Trip on April 29, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Mike is the bomb. One of the best fishing guides in the industry. As for Cheeto and Frito fishing expeditions go, and we’ve been on quite a few fishing adventures lately, we rate Mike better than 5 star in all categories of the services he provides. He is a very personable and knowledgeable chap. Hell he even put Cheto on a Spring chinook in Tillamook bay on 29 April 2024. We knew the odds of catching such a fish at this time of year would be Unicorn worthy. But we did it. Cheeto reeled in a ~18lbs 35 inches spring chinook salmon. Thanks Captain Mike we can’t wait to schedule the next fishing trip with you.

    Our Chinook fishing dream came true!

    Shared King Salmon Trip on August 27, 2025 • 2 adults

    It was clear our guide was a fishing expert and went to for my wife and I to catch Chinook, which we did. Our guide went above and beyond. In fact, I wouldn't have caught my 30 pd plus dream King Chinook at the end of the day if it wasn't for the love of fishing and the extra time our guide put in so a catch might be made. Our guide was the greatest, and made it fun for my wife and I!

    Great day

    Half day trip Salmon or bottom fish on June 26, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    What a great experience! Even with some less than ideal conditions Capt Michael got us on the fish and made it a memorable day. The best part for me was Michael’s ability to make my son feel comfortable and safe for his first time on the ocean. Can’t wait to book again in the future.

    Full day with Captain Mike

    Full Day Trip on September 13, 2023 • 2 adults

    Mike was an amazing Captain. He was very responsive leading up to our trip and made sure we came prepared. The fishing was fishing and we were not completely successful but Mike worked his but off trying to get us on the fish. The trip overall was amazing and we had a great time. I would highly recommend Woody”s and will be back for a multi day trip in the future. The only thing I would change is that I would book more days with Mike on my next visit. Really enjoyed this man!

    Private trip

    Full Day Trip on August 31, 2022 • 2 adults

    My husband and I took a private trip with Capt Mike. We had a great time. Capt Mike was super knowledgeable and was not only great company but a great teacher. This was our first time salmon fishing and we learned a ton. The network he has with other charter captains is amazing. It took some patience but we brought home some beautiful fish!!Thanks Capt Jamison for all your help and Capt Mike, thanks for taking time to teach us things and spend time with us. Cheers to all of you. We look forward to more trips.

I have loved fishing since I was old enough to walk. It's always humbling and amazing to learn new ways of catching fish, and this is one of the reasons I fell in love with it in the first place. I deeply love the Tillamook area and especially the Trask River, which is probably my favorite place to fish. When I take my customers out, I don't look at my watch – I treat every outing as a fun day with friends!
