Michael Woodward

Member since July 2019 Depoe Bay, United States
Background
I have loved fishing since I was old enough to walk. It's always humbling and amazing to learn new ways of catching fish, and this is one of the reasons I fell in love with it in the first place. I deeply love the Tillamook area and especially the Trask River, which is probably my favorite place to fish. When I take my customers out, I don't look at my watch – I treat every outing as a fun day with friends!
Techniques
Trolling with G Loomis GCX rods, Shimano reels, usually trolling Pro Troll 360 flasher with bait or spinner. Bottom fishing usually Jigging. I also provide late fall bobber fishing trips for the advanced angler. Let's go have fun and catch some fish!!!
