Fresh Fishing Reports from Clark County

Happy couple with chrome kings! This cou

November 10, 2025

I fished with mike and sarah for the entire weekend. Mike is a regular client of mine and sarah is his significant other. This was sarahs first time catching salmon. In 2 days we hooked over 25 fish. You could day sarahs arm was sore today.

Crabbing is Crazy Good!

November 9, 2025

What a crabby day! The weather was near perfect and three limits of beautiful dungeness crab came in on the first pull. The harbor porpoises played nearby and we all had a good time. Sometimes waiting an extra day pays off. Thanks to Gezellig Seafoods and European Groceries for packing everything up and getting it shipped back to Wisconsin for my clients! We even got Talon Rods in on the action with some crab snares for a little fun while we waited for the pots to soak. It got me wondering if there's a market out there for crab snare rods

Coho Still Going Strong

November 6, 2025

Coho are still in good numbers in the Columbia trolling, twitching, hover fishing and pulling plugs.

Coho and Rainbows

October 19, 2025

We snuck out in between the rainstorms yesterday and I may now have one my favorite Tongue Point sunrise pictures of the year. This guy jumped on the rod just after I had finished showing how to put out the gear. We had my client's limit and another fish released by 9:30, not bad for mid October Coho in the estuary! I have plenty of seats open for Coho and crab still. The top is going on the boat and the heater is going back in so we're now getting ready for winter mode!

We beat the weather and found the fish!

October 1, 2025

With an uncertain weather forecast, we headed out early. Fortunately we landed on the coho fairly quickly for an early limit by 8:30 a.m.. We took advantage of the extra time and a break in the weather to take a scenic tour around Astoria and the Estuary including a few areas that I don't normally get to go. What a great way to spend a break in between the rains and the wind! The new Talon Rods did an awesome job of keeping the fish on a well. Awesome morning!

Beautiful birthday!

September 27, 2025

This was an awesome last minute birthday trip. We left at sunrise and got into our first bites within 20 minutes. The coho were on fire and practically chasing the boat! It's too bad the seals and sea lions were too. The action was fast with 19 fish on and three kept before everyone got tired and ready to head back to the dock for some lunch. This was a great trip and I hope to see these guys again!

Go to the bathroom in the parking lot first before you get on the boat. On the boat, you'll be peeing in a bottle with little privacy.

We wanted to go for salmon on the Columbia, but it was closed while we were in town so we pivoted to Sturgeon in Portland. Still lots of fun!

August sounds like an abundant month to fish except our day. No blame just the nature of fishing.

When going out on a boat - arrive 10 minutes early. It is best to wear waterproof clothing even on dry days. Use the restroom before heading out. It is best to thoroughly wash your hands after applying sunscreen, and eating jerky or smoked salmon. The scent is bad.

The fog bank in the PNW can come and go pretty quick, and it can go from a cold foggy day to a warm sunny one . so prepare for sun or drizzle and bring sunscreen and layers.

Make sure you have layers and be prepared to be on the ocean. We had a calm day but could see getting sea sick easily if it is rough. Awesome time though.

Take medication an hour in advance if you get seasick. Bring rain gear and boots because it is cooler on the water and that boat will be rockin' in the waves! Have so much fun, it's a blast!

Great area to fish in the ocean. Bring Rain gear just in case weather changes. Better to be safe than sorry. Your fishing trip might not be as memorable if you are wet and cold.Had a great time for our first.

Salmon weren’t biting, but Sturgeon were biting still. Also depends on the day.
