David Antkowiak5.0VerifiedLearning and Bonding
Half day trip on March 11, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 childCaleb and Kyle were awesome (two drift boats!) We had such a great time! Grandson (8 yrs old) learning to fish (he caught one with help), adults learning techniques, possible in laws...with bonding time, caught Steelhead too! Caleb was very aware of the weather conditions as the weather was questionable up to the day and we caught a perfect window! Would recommend Caleb all day long! Thank you for your knowledge and a great experience.

Full Day Trip on September 13, 2025 • 8 adultsWe had an absolute blast on our full day salmon fishing trip. Caleb was a terrific captain, most of our group had never been fishing before and everyone caught a fish. Highly recommend Caleb, we cant wait to go out fishing with him again!

Full Day Trip on August 31, 2025 • 9 adultsFantastic day of fishing. Caleb was very professional and also personable. We knew it was going to be a good day when the first line hit just 20 seconds in the water
Mark Hereford5.0VerifiedCaleb is an amazing fishing guide!
Full Day Trip on August 30, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy family and I couldn't ask for a better fishing trip with Caleb. His knowledge and experience getting us on fish can not be matched. All the gear provided was top notch matched with his knowledge of the fishery provided us with a day we will never forget. We will definitely book again with Caleb. Thank you Caleb!

Half day Salmon fishing in Wheeler, Oregon
5 Hour Trip on July 21, 2022 • 3 adultsCapt Caleb was a fantastic guide. The day started with a big salmon on in the first 10 minutes but it broke off by the boat. Things went quiet from there until the laaaaast trolling pass and literally reel-up when this big one hit my line. Capt Caleb knew the waters well, had great gear, was fun to talk with, and I’d highly recommend him to others!
William Hall5.0VerifiedZach Shirly comes thru in a pinch.
Full Day Trip on August 26, 2022 • 3 adultsWhen sickness put our scheduled skipper out of commission at the last minute, Zach Shirly pulled together a last minute perfect charter. He is very personable and fishing wise. The three of us were limited out after three hours out. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!
Carolyn RexRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull Day Trip with Captain Caleb
Full Day Trip on August 10, 2022 • 4 adultsCaleb was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and a great teacher. He was easy to talk to and very helpful. I would highly recommend his guide service to anyone who wants to catch fish.
Kelly MiyashitaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaleb Kills
Full Day Trip on August 14, 2019 • 3 adultsOur first Salmon trip. Didn't know what to expect and was honestly very concerned about getting skunked. But Caleb was a total Pro and patiently guided us to various spots out on the water between St. Mary's Church and Megler Bridge. Hooked up on some nice ones. After Caleb filleted the fish for us, we had the cuts vac-sealed and then packed on ice for the drive back to Portland. To get them home, we bought some dry ice and these great little green coolers by Coleman at Fred Meyer. We were able to check it as luggage for the 4-hour flight. NOTE: Save those Salmon Collars folks. Delicious eating. Go to any Japanese restaurant and they will charge you $20 or more bucks for them...grilled to perfection and perfect with Beer! I noticed many people tossing the heads away with collars intact! https://www.bonappetit.com/story/fish-collar-recipe-grill
