Shirley Catch Guide Service is located in Portland. Their mission is to provide a memorable day out on the water for you. And Captain Zachary’s main priority is to take you where the fish are biting.
Your main adversary in these waters will be Salmon. But don’t worry, you’ll have an entire day at your disposal to go after them. Shirley Catch Guide Service’s 24’ Alumaweld boat will safely take up to 6 anglers. Kids are also welcome, so bring your friends and family and experience what a Salmon pursuit can be about.
All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. Just don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!
Book your trip now and hit the water with Shirley Catch Guide Service.

Full Day Trip
Was a slow day but it was worth it on my birthday to celebrate turning 40 with my brother. Zach was great, he was communicative about what to do, kept talking with other guides by phone or passing boats asking after colors and would move us around first before others left the area when there was no bite. Caught one for me, my brother hooked and fought one but it broke off real close to the boat. We're already planning to go again in the fall with both our kids for a day. Highly recommend Zach, and his dog Rowdie was an awesome fishing companion, she got excited every time we touched a rod and was super happy when I landed mine.

Zach was an amazing caption on our trip unfortunately we had to leave a little early due because my girlfriend wasn't feeling well and we where only out the for 2 hours but within those two hours we caught 4 giant king salmon and Zach was extremely nice about everything and showed us how to setup and catch these beautiful fish. I've been salmon fishing before and never had any luck and was sceptical on even booking but I had to get myself 1 king and when I saw the gear Zach was using i had confidence and sure enough we caught a lot I couldn't recommend this charter enough

Zach is a great guy with a life in which he is a professional guide…what I dream job. We meet him early and we had a great time, my family enjoyed the boat, his attention to trying to get a fish on one of our hooks. It was a slow day for fish but we brought back a nice Springer and lost one, oops. Anyways Highly recommend Zach, he works hard to get you on the fish!

Had an awesome opportunity to fish with Zach! Everything was flawless, his equipment and boat are top notch! He knows exactly what to do and where to go to catch fish! We ended the day catching 4 fish, keeping a nice Coho and Sockeye!

Captain Shirley had us on our first salmon within 20 minutes and limited out in hours. His knowledge cannot be matched. I will definitely book another fishing trip in the near future.
