'Captain Kyle is a local to the area. He has been fishing since he was a kid, and he loves it, as well as teaching people how to do it. Seeing how excited people get when they catch their first fish is one of his favorite things in the world. 'I have been fishing the Oregon Coast and the Portland area for over 20 years. It has been my passion for years and I love to see people catching their first Salmon and Steelhead.'

    Finally

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    it took the whole time to catch a salmon but the captain kept trying different areas. Eventhough we only caught one it was better than the other boats did. The captain was very helpful and positive. He even offered a bathroom break. Also he was willing to accommodate our schedule. FYI. The location listed is Not where you start. it is much closer to town and more convenient

    Response from Captain

    thanks Kim for the kind words! Hope you guys ate all that fish up!!
