Nathaniel WeberRepeat angler5.0VerifiedApril Crabbing Success!
Crabbing on April 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childWe were here for spring break and luckily we still had a few weeks left of the season. We were warned that the season was pretty much over and we may get slim pickings but we were hopeful. Lo and behold not only did we catch crabs, We probably caught over 100 crabs and had to throw even the medium ones back because we kept getting so many monsters. My son was so beyond happy and ecstatic. Wade is a good dude and put my son to work which he loved. Even if you don’t catch anything, the boat is awesome and you’ll learn a lot. Wade was very honest about our chances very knowledgeable about the tides the location and what to expect during the time of year. I cannot recommend him enough.

Full Day Kings And Coho! on May 23, 2026 • 2 adultsreally wanted an ocean fishing trip over the weekend and booked one. Captain called me and said sorry cant go ocean fishing with the swell but I can take you to the river and weve had good luck. He put us on the boat fish the minute we started the day. Great attitude and great deck hand. Id highly recommend take a trip and catch a couple fish.
Tom Ruise5.0VerifiedNewGreat fishing trip
Buoy10 Kings & Coho Salmon on October 7, 2026 • 2 adultsit was a great trip. The captain was very knowledgeable and very confident and an excellent all-around person would recommend this trip for anybody. 
Shay CrawfordRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWade is awesome
Buoy10 Kings & Coho Salmon on August 19, 2026 • 3 adultsChaos of a trip that was awesome, insane amount of Salmon. The family I brought with me wants to go again and to make sure I have Wade if possible be our guide. Even though we plan to buy a boat ourselves to fish without a guide Wade showed the benefits of having a pro guide on-board.
Dwayne Timmons5.0VerifiedDid not dissapoint
Private Boat / Salmon, Astoria on August 23, 2026 • 5 adultsGreat first time experience on the Columbia. Guide made it look relatively easy, but we know it wasn't with all the chaos of boats and challenges that go with finding retaining fish. I'd go with Wade again in a heartbeat.
Jeffrey WiggsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome Trip with Captain Wade

Half Day Trip (Private Boat) on August 12, 2026 • 3 adultsWade was great, got us on the fish quick. Very knowledgeable and friendly
Matt Galli5.0VerifiedExcellent gear, knowledge, and effort
Full Day Kings And Coho! on August 16, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Wade is the guide to go with whether fishing bouy 10, springers up river or sturgeon. All of his equipment is top notch and well maintained - from the rods and reels to the boat. Wade has a wealth of experience and is very willing to share it with anyone. He also works hard to get you on the fish and successfully land them. All around one of the best on the water.
Dollie Criss5.0VerifiedAwesome day of fishing with Captain Wade

Full Day Kings And Coho! on September 16, 2025 • 1 adultCan’t say enough about Wade. Great guy. Helps everyone out with his knowledge. We fished for salmon and threw out some crab cages. We had our limits by early afternoon. Great guide to go with. Real nice boat and it’s kept up nicely. I would for sure recommend him.

The trip was great—we caught Chinook! The captain had a nice boat, quality gear, and came well prepared to work efficiently and keep lines in the water. When a fish was on, he would start barking orders, so he may not be for the thin-skinned who aren’t ready to work, but he does a great job of keeping things from descending into chaos, which I appreciated. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we learned a lot from him. When lines got tangled or a fish was on, he worked quickly and gave clear instructions. He helped us save a couple of fish that we probably would have lost otherwise. He knows the area, knows his stuff, and his sonar is legit! He clearly wasn’t just following the other boats—he knew where to find the fish. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a productive and well-run fishing trip.
thanks again Andy, that was definitely a whirlwind season and it was great to have you guys on board
