About
We will clean, fillet, and bag your catch for you. Vacuum packing and shipping are available locally. Just ask and we can point you in the right direction.
What to Bring:
-
Appropriate Clothing: It's the Northwest, be prepared. If you’re fishing with me along the coast, the marine environment can be very different from the rest of the region. During the summertime, it’s not uncommon to see 90° in Portland/Vancouver while 90 miles away in Astoria it’s 60°.
-
Rain Gear: No matter the forecast, make sure you have it. If the conditions are just right, you may need the rain gear to keep the spray off of you as we travel. If you don’t need it, no big deal. Should you need it and don’t have it, it could make for an uncomfortable experience. You could also purchase Frogg Toggs from Amazon so that you have rain gear and if you don’t use it, you can return it.
-
Eats and Drinks: Bring what you would like for the day. You can always take it home if you don't consume it.
-
Camera: Some of the fish that we catch, by law, must be released. A good camera is always nice to capture the memories of these beautiful fish.
