Out Fishin
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.

BUOY 10 half day
Couple's Unforgettable Day with Captain Robert at Buoy 10
They say the Columbia River holds surprises, and we found plenty on our trip to Buoy 10 with Captain Robert. My wife and I went out expecting a good day on the water, but it turned into something even better. The sun was shining, the river was calm, and we had our lines in the water with high hopes. Before long, the action began. My rod bent sharply, and I knew I had hooked a big one. The fight was on, and soon enough, I pulled in a hefty coho salmon, followed by my wife reeling in her own impressive catch. These were no small fish—each one was big, strong, and put up a fun fight. Captain Robert guided us like a pro, and Molly, his energetic dog, kept us entertained with her antics between catches. The day turned into one of those rare outings that exceed all expectations. The fish were big, the company was perfect, and every moment felt like an adventure. By the time we headed back, the cooler was full, our spirits were high, and we were already planning our next trip. It wasn’t just about the fish; it was about the fun, the thrill, and a day that couldn’t have gone any better.

First time salmon fishing
We had a great time with captain Robert and first mate Juan on the buoy 10 salmon fishery. They were both very knowledgeable and skilled, which made for a fun experience. Everyone caught their salmon limit, plus lots of wilds thrown back. Definitely would recommend.

Captain Bob perserveres
It was a tough day with fog and fish that just didn't seem to be hungry. Captain Bob didn't let that dissuade him. He kept at it and found a spot where I caught my very first 2 Cohos ever. We had several take nipped but got away. He was knowledgeable and very helpful. Later in the day my companion caught her first 24" Coho and the other fisherman caught a couple that had to be tossed back , Jack's. Inevitably got the largest catch of the day. Between the 4 of us and Captain Bob's expertise and willingness to go above and beyond we caught 8 in total and got to keep 4.

Coho pandemonium
Some friends and I booked this trip hoping to just keep 3 fish. Bob got us on way more than that! We landed 6 keepers and probably let go 12 wild Cohos. We had multiple doubles and complete chaos. It was an absolute blast. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who knows the fishery.
