Come fish with Big Johnson’s Guide Service and have a memorable fishing experience on the waters around Nehalem, Oregon! Whether it’s rivers, reefs, nearshore, or offshore waters, you’ll have a great time chasing some delicious species and observing the beautiful nature that surrounds this area. Captain Jamison Johnson knows all the best fishing spots and can make your trip fun and relaxing, so join him on the water and create many lovely memories fishing in Nehalem!
The boat you’ll use is a 20’ Willies aluminum fishing boat with enough space to accommodate up to 4 anglers. It runs on a 150 HP Yamaha engine and uses all the modern navigation technology comprised of GPS, a fishfinder, as well as a radio, allowing you a quick and safe movement on the water.
The species you’ll go after include Halibut, Coho Salmon, and Chinook Salmon. You’ll attract them by bottom fishing and trolling and you get to keep the fish you catch. Kids are welcome to join aboard, so bring them as well and have a wonderful time on the water together.
Captain Jamison will cover you for the rods, reels, tackle, as well as live bait and lures. He can also clean and fillet your catch, free of charge. Before you start your trip, just make sure you’ve packed your fishing licenses, snacks, and drinks.
Come visit Nehalem and have a great time fishing its rich and beautiful waters with Big Johnson’s Guide Service!

Johnson is absolutely the best when it comes to salmon fishing. We had three keepers on the boat before 8 am

We booked a day trip on the spur of the moment. Our guide really knewnthe waters, the fish and how to catch them. He was a patient thorough teacher and we each caught a salmon in the ocean, and Jim caught one of each: Coho & Chinook! Filled the crab pot too and helped us get them cooked at the marina facility. Cleaned and made fillets for us with the salmon and we would recommend him highly if you want a terrific experience fishing in Oregon.
