Always a Great Day on the Water with Rod
8 Hour Trip – Chinook/Coho on August 13, 2024
I’ve gone salmon fishing and crabbing with Rod from Reel ‘em Up Fishing Adventures multiple times, and he’s consistently delivered. Rod knows the water, the fish, and the timing—it shows in the results. He’s put me on fish every time and I’ve always come home with limits of crab. Beyond that, he’s just a really chill, down-to-earth guy who makes the trip enjoyable whether the bite is hot or slow. Highly recommend booking with him if you want a successful and laid-back day on the water.

8 Hour Trip – Chinook/Coho on July 14, 2024
You can immediately tell Rod knows what he’s doing and respects his craft. Such a great experience for our first time fishing salmon. We consistently had fish on the line and caught our license worth in just a couple hours. We were back on the dock with filets in hand before 10am. Highly recommend!

While the bite was slow all day Captain Rod worked on changing baits and tactics trying to get us on some fish. He was patient with the inexperienced people on the boat too. Will definitely go out with Rod again!

Day trip with Captain Rod "Reel Em Up Fishing"
8 Hour Trip – Chinook/Coho on July 27, 2023
The day started a little early at 5:00am. Took about 1/2 hour to get to our fishing spot. Our groggy eyes were barely open when - BAM! fish on. Then BAM!! BAM!!! 2 more fish on! All keepers 2 Chinook and 1 Coho. We circled back to our original location. No sooner did our lines get wet again - BAM! BAM! BAM! 3 more Coho's. We hit our limit in less than 2 hours. We even had some get away. So much FUN!!! We even made it home for breakfast. Captain Rod was incredible! Knows the waters well, top notch equipment and excellent roomy boat. Highly recommend "Reel Em Up Fishing" and Captain Rod!!!

We had a great experience with Captain Rod of Reel Em Up Fishing Adventures. He worked very hard to get us on the fish and was patient, polite and professional. Rod had many different methods, tackle and types of bait that we used and did a great job with making sure the group was comfortable and having an awesome day. I would fish with Rod again and I plan to in the future.

Your captain
Warrenton, Oregon, United States
Captain Rod likes seeing other people catch fish as much as he likes reeling in one himself. The excitement and thrill of the chase is what drives him to provide professional service. After taking a fishing trip at the age of 15, he got hooked on angling, and ever since has been fishing in the area, taking others outdoors and having fun while doing it. He'll provide help and information, so you can focus on pure fishing.
