Izzi's Big Mouth Guide Service
Welcome to Izzi’s Big Mouth Guide Service, a fishing guide service based in Garibaldi, Oregon that also operates in Tillamook and Netarts Bay, Buoy 10 fishery, all the Columbia River, and everything in between. Whatever location you choose, you and Captain Craig Izzi will be fishing the spots with the biggest chance of catching. The captain’s got 40 years of fishing experience and he knows how to create an excellent trip. Join him and have a great time on the waters around Garibaldi!
You’ll be fishing from a 29’ D Tech aluminum fishing boat that can accommodate up to 6 anglers. It’s powered by one 250 HP engine and uses a comprehensive electronic navigation system. The boat is wheelchair-accessible and Captain Craig encourages all the guests with disabilities to join him aboard. The boat will provide you with an ice-box so you can store your fish and drinks and is also equipped with downriggers.
The range of fishing you can do is wide. Depending on the weather, on the offer are ocean fishing, Sturgeon catch and release as well as retention season, and bottom fishing for Lingcod and Black Seabass. You can also chase Dungeness Crab, Salmon, Steelhead, and Halibut. You’ll catch by bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, and jigging. If the season is right, you can keep all the fish you catch. Kids are more than welcome to join the trip, so do bring them as well.
Captain Craig covers you for all the fishing gear, live bait, and lures. He’ll also clean, fillet, and bag your catch. Before you leave, just make sure you’ve packed your licenses, snacks, and drinks.
Join Izzi’s Big Mouth Guide Service and have a true fishing adventure in Garibaldi or Astoria!

5 Hour Trip – Crabbing
Great family day on the water!
It was our first time chartering, but definitely not the last. Izze was communicative from the initial booking to the night before, letting us know where to meet and what to expect. On the water we all felt we were in good hands and the boat was comfortable. We caught a bunch of salmon and almost more crab than we will eat. Almost. Even our teenaged son can't wait to do it again. We will be back.

6 Hour–Salmon/Bottom Fishing Combo
Awesome Trip (Aug 10)
Father in law and myself booked a combo trip with Craig. Started out with bottom fishing and absolutely smashed them. Then we moved onto Salmon, started off slow but he got us dialed in and we eventually caught all our limits. Would definitely book again. Great guide, gear, boat, and fishing.

Full Day Trip – Bottom Fishing
Izzy is the best!
The ocean was angry today but Izzy called me in advance and we went crabbing in the bay instead. We all enjoyed the day and caught our limit of Dungeness. Izzy has a great boat and top of the line equipment, great attitude and fishing knowledge! We will definitely come back again.
