You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Jessica Pratt5.0VerifiedMy son said it was the best day of his life
8 Hour Trip – Smallmouth Bass on July 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Kyle planned and executed the perfect fishing day for my 10-yr-old son. We were on a gorgeous stretch of the Umpqua, on a very clean, comfortable boat. Kyle was unfailingly patient with us novice anglers. He shared his knowledge of knot tying, how to choose lures and bait, how to read the river, etc and didn't cuss once despite getting stuck by spines multiple times whilst throwing back the fifty or so fish we caught. We were on top of schools of small mouth bass for almost 8 hours straight and had a grand time fighting and reeling in fish. We also saw a variety of birds of prey and some furry denizens of the river as we cruised between fishing holes. "Ten out of ten, would recommend" as the kids say:)
David Errington5.0VerifiedSolid first charter
Rock fish ling cod on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childJosh was great, got us yo a hot spot and had us catching rockfish minutes into getting out to the schools. Hit limits wothin an hour or so of being out and he offered to let my son troll for salmon on the way back. Checked some crab pots and ended up with 20 crab and 9+lb of rockfish. Wiild certainly hit his charter again.

Crabbing on September 5, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenTook the 4 kids crabbing and it was their first experience on the ocean. Everyone had a great time! Captain Josh was great to work with and we caught a lot of crab!
Dee Mccallum5.0VerifiedAmazing experience!
Special 4 hour trip for Dee Mccallum on August 1, 2025 • 2 adultsI am so happy that I chose Josh for the kids and I to go fishing! It was the first time my kids got to go out on the ocean and catch big fish! Josh was so patient and kind, and took the time to teach them things as we fished. Then when I started being seasick, I had the reassurance that the kids were in great hands, and he continued to give them an amazing experience. So grateful! We will definitely book with him again and highly recommend!
