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!

Shared King Salmon Trip
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!

Half day trip Salmon or bottom fish
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 Trip
We had a fantastic day with Mike. The boat was perfect. He knew all the right spots to try and when. He gave clear and helpful instructions on what to expect and how best to catch and reel in the fish. Mike knew when patience was the right approach as the tides were shifting with continued reminders that it was not if they started to bite again, but when which was completely correct. He had good advice on where to take the fish to be sealed for bringing them home, a good restaurant suggestion for lunch, and even a recipe for cooking our catch from his wife which we eagerly look forward to trying this evening. We could not have asked for a better guide, day, or experience.
