If you’re here to make the most of fishing out of Astoria, look no further than Out Fishin LLC. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Robert can tell you all about the local fishery.

You’re likely to go after Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Sturgeon, Black Rockfish, Lingcod, Crab, and more. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Seasons and dates vary based on state regulations, but there’s always an opportunity to fish! Some trips start at different times depending on tides, so feel free to reach out.

Your adventure begins aboard a 23’ Aluminum fishing with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
