6 Hour–Salmon/Bottom Fishing Combo on August 26, 20262 adults

We had a wonderdul outing with Capt Izzy yesterday! Brought home a haul of rockfish filets and crab. Quote from 14 yr old son - “Izzy was a really nice guy. He helped me with my first time fishing on the OR coast. And he taught me how to tell which crabs we could keep and eat. I had a great time!” Thank you Izzy!

Great day on the Ocean
6 Hour–Salmon/Bottom Fishing Combo on August 10, 20262 adults1 child

Aug 11th went on the sea with Captain Izzy. This was a great day. We got our limit on Salmon first. Oh and my daughter who is 12 caught her first salmon. He really took care of her, so if you have kids. Then went and caught Rockfish. The end of the day was pulling 60 Crabs out of pots. One of my favorite trips, and can’t wait for him to get his boat so we can do Tuna. Highly recommend.

Best trip ever with my middle son
6 Hour–Salmon/Bottom Fishing Combo on August 10, 20262 adults

Had a great time sharing this experience with my son. We caught salmon, rock bass, and came back with a mess of crab. We actually had our trip booked for a Monday, but the winds were to high so Captain rescheduled for Tuesday. He put our safety first.

WHAT A BLAST
6 Hour–Salmon/Bottom Fishing Combo on June 23, 20263 adults1 child

Had a fantastic time with Izzi’s Big Mouth Guide Service and Captain Izzi! We did a combo fish and limited out on sea bass and caught more than enough crab. Super good with kids, I brought my 7 year old and he loved every minute of it. The fact that he will process the fish and the crab for you is very helpful. You will not be disappointed whatsoever. A professional fisherman and experience through and through!
