ATTN: Half Day Trips Added - some trips are finishing with early limits now so please message us if you're looking for a date or seat that isn't showing available online!!

If you're ready to have fun fishing on the Lower Columbia around Chinook and Astoria, we've got you covered with Waters West Guide Service.

Dungeness Crab, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll.

Capt. Casey is happy to have kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 28' Willie Boats sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Casey will provide rods and reels for you.

You need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. 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.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Waters West Guide Service is just a click away.

    First fish on the line <5minutes!

    8 Hour Trip – Buoy 10 Salmon on September 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a fantastic day buoy 10 salmon fishing. Lots of action and we had the first catch in the boat within 5 minutes of lines down. Captain Casey was very knowledgeable, his boat was kept clean & organized, wonderful equipment AND he had a great personality too. We caught our limit in no time even with pesky seals stealing fish off the line as we were bringing them in. We will definitely fish with him again!

    8 Hour Trip – King Salmon (Shared) on September 7, 2025 • 3 adults

    Casey was very fun to fish with! I love fishing and have been fishing all the time back home but this was my first time using a 12-foot rod and heavy tackle he is a great teacher and patient and operated the boat safely. The boat was well kept too! I would definitely book with him again and recommend him to anyone. Thank you Casey and Jessica too!

    We are fishing now on the lower Columbia River out of Astoria, OR. Today we caught a massive 25lb+ King Salmon. We are fishing lower in the river now around the tides. Fishing for kings will continue to improve in the next few days and we should start seeing some coho as well in the next week. Limited seats available but singles always welcomed. Check in for last minute cancellations as well.
