Astoria Crab Fishing Charters

Crabbing in the Columbia river

This trip is for a group of up to 4 people! Once the salmon fishing has slowed down, Dungeness Crab will be plentiful! We typically limit out on just a couple of pots and have a lot of fun doing it. The limit is 12 Dungeness Crab per person. There is a cooking station at the ramp that will cook them and clean them for a small fee so you take them home ready to eat!

You will have 7 hours of fun on the mighty Columbia River as you chase Coho and Chinook Salmon during the best time of the season! Enjoy getting to fish the different tide swings and give yourself the best opportunity to catch fish with a full day adventure!

On half day trips, you'll be picked up at 6 a.m. at a selected destination – the captain will give you one day's notice on where that will be, as it will depend on where you're going to fish that day. After fishing, you'll pull in the lines at noon and head back to the dock.

Catching Dungeness Crab is an incredibly fun and exciting activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The thrill of pulling up a trap full of these delicious crab is hard to beat.

As the weather starts to turn cooler, crabbing near the mouth of the Columbia begins to heat up. Dungeness are some of the tastiest crab out there (apologies to my Baltimore friends) and with generous limits, this is a great way to fill your cooler. We'll leave the dock a couple of hours prior to the high tide in order to drop the pots and then have fun trying to catch them on rod and reel. - Max 5 people
