Hi Everyone !!

Ocean Salmon fishing is AWESOME !!

They should be getting into the River in respectable numbers soon.

This next picture I took on August 10th when Len and I got a rare chance to go fishing ourselves.

Ocean was flat as a pancake and it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day and a limit of nice fish!

The only thing that is missing in this picture is a rod folded down in the rod holder !!

We still have some very good days open for these Buoy 10 fish.

Hi Everyone !!

Here is a beautiful Sturgeon caught in the lower Columbia.

Keeper Sturgeon stays open through June 26th. After the catch rate is evaluated, they might reopen it for a few days the beginning of July but we won't know for sure until we get there. I will let you know as soon as I know.

Even when it closes for Keepers we can still fish for them, but it is catch and release only.

The Ocean opens for the King Chinook and Coho run on June 26th. The run this year is expected to be awesome!!

We have some very good weekend and weekdays still open.

Check your calendars and either email or call and let's get some of these awesome fish for you for your summer BBQ's!!

Spring Chinook, Astoria Sturgeon ************ which should you do? I say both!

All kidding aside, do check your calendars and let's get you out there.

Hi Everyone!

Here is another beautiful Spring Chinook!!

This lady is my sister and she is actually very small but with all those clothes she looks very big!! I had to add that or she would have a fit having her picture on our website!

Look how bright and fresh that fish is.

This was a Family trip so next - I will share a couple of photos of our kids.

This is my Mommy's baby. She says he is my Brother. HA!! His name is Tiger.

This is our Little Boy D.O.G. Looks like he was enjoying a bag of chips!

And this is him after a long, hard day of fishing.

He loves pillows and just happened to fall asleep like this.

That's all!

The run of Spring Chinook this year is predicted to be one of the best in years. The fish are so bright and just melt in your mouth.

Check your calendars and let's get you out there and see if we can get one of these for your freezer!

It is actually a 4 person limit of 48, however, if you count you will see that one is missing.

Still warm, right out of the cooker the crab is so sweet and good - so some of them never make it to the picture!!

 

We still have some great dates still open for both Tillamook Chinook and Astoria Crabbing.

These Ladies crabbed yesterday and are fishing today. Just getting it ALL in!!

Take them out of the cooker, cool for just a little while in cold water then eat some WHILE IT IS STILL WARM!!

Just doesn't get any better than that!!

This is taken at our fish cleaning and crab cooking station at our place in Warrenton.

We cook and clean them for you. It is all included in the cost!

Looks like these guys are going to be eating CRAB for awhile!

Len cooks and cleans the crab for you. This was a combo trip in Astoria. While the pots soaked - they fished for Salmon.

We are now fishing in Tillamook for those FALL HOGS!

If you want to CRAB - that will be in Astoria. The Crabbing in Astoria is by far the best crabbing and as the fall approaches it will just get better and better.

Sturgeon fishing went out with a BANG!

We can still fish for them - catch and release. There are some really big ones out there!

We caught some very nice fish. Here is a picture with some big pigs!

Although Springer Fishing is long past - here is a great picture of a day's catch!

Here is what we are fishing for NOW!!

Beautiful COHO and CHINOOK SALMON.

AND - last but not least - this is how our son D.O.G. fishes when he goes with us.

No wonder he never catches anything! HA!

We have some very good dates in both August and September that are still open.

Check your calendars, grab some friends and let's get you out there and get some of these beauties for you!

I can see and smell them on the BBQ already!

AND - don't forget that FALL CHINOOK in Tillamook is just around the corner. That starts the end of September when the Buoy 10 Season that we are fishing now is over.

Hi Everyone

Just a quick flyer to let you know what we are fishing for now and what is coming up next. Please feel free to call or email with any questions that you may have.

2010 FISHING INFORMATION !!!

The SUMMER is here and with that comes:


** The Awesome ASTORIA STURGEON FISHERY


** The Ocean JUNE HOG FISHERY
(This is the term used for these nice big Chinook)


** The Best in the West ASTORIA KING CHINOOK AND COHO RUN
( Buoy 10)

STURGEON !!

CALL NOW TO GET A GOOD DATE !

STURGEON season in Astoria is here again! This fishery opened May 22nd and closes June 26th. We still have some good dates left, but they will go quickly so it is best to book soon.

OCEAN SALMON !!

BOOK IT NOW !

The JUNE HOGS fishery opens June 12th. This is the first time in a long time that we been given an ocean season for these fish.


The OCEAN COHO and KING CHINOOK SALMON opens July 1st this year. These are actually the Buoy 10 fish that are still in the Ocean and have not moved into the Columbia River yet. So we will be fishing the Ocean until the Columbia River has good numbers of fish in it.


In the ocean we not only get to fish on the Columbia River fish but all of the other fish that are headed North to other rivers so there are a lot of fish!


WOW - is this a HOT Fishery! It is absolutely a blast to fish here!


Our 27 foot boat makes the Ocean Fishery very fun and safe. For those who have not fished from it yet - it is very roomy with a nice big cover and high sides. Everyone has their own Captain's chair for their own home base and comfort.

BUOY 10 !!

THE DAY'S HERE WON'T LAST LONG !!

The BUOY 10 FISHERY in the Lower Columbia River is a great fishery every year! This is probably the best and most productive Salmon fishery, other than the Ocean in the Pacific Northwest.

The River opens on August 1st, and with the Ocean still open - its gives us the option to fish either the River or the Ocean!


This fishery goes through Mid September and with a mixed bag of KING CHINOOK AND COHO SALMON, limits are a common thing.

Then FALL ARRIVES and brings with it:

TILLAMOOK FALL CHINOOK !!

DON'T FORGET THE TILLAMOOK HOGS !

We will be starting in Tillamook around September 20th and fishing into Mid to late November. These are the BIG CHINOOK referred to as HOGS!


(After Fall Chinook we go after those line singing Winter Steelhead and Winter Sturgeon - but I will tell you more about that in a later email.)

Call or Email now to get the dates that work best for you !!

Looking forward to seeing all of you again.

Hi Everyone!!

You have probably heard that the Columbia is closed -- HOWEVER the Willamette and the Clackamas are still open!!

In fact - after enough fish have gone upstream and over the Dam - perhaps they will re-open the Columbia. It is not a given - just a chance.

Here are 2 beautiful Spring Chinook !!

And - here is a nice Winter Sturgeon !!

We still have some excellent dates open for SPRING CHINOOK. Grab your calendar and then grab a friend or two and let's get you out there.

Also, the Sturgeon Season in Astoria opens May 22nd and runs through June 26. This is a very short season! Lots of dates are already gone - so CALL or EMAIL NOW to get a date that works that for you!!

The SPRING CHINOOK run this year is predicted at 559,900 fish returning as compared to 169,000 last year!

This number is the highest since 1938 so there should be lots and lots of those AWESOME SPRING CHINOOK to catch!!

The SPRING CHINOOK run this year is predicted at 470,000 fish returning as compared to 169,000 last year!

This number is the highest since 1938 so there should be lots and lots of those AWESOME SPRING CHINOOK to catch!!

Hi Everyone!

Here are the last 2 days of HOG fishing!

The one on the right is a little HOG-ETTE.

But - just right whole on the BBQ!

These are the KEEPERS.

(Someone - and his name starts with an L and ends with an N and there is an E in the middle - had their thumb over the corner of this picture! HMMM? Who could that be? HA!) New camera so we will give him a break this time!

There were also several Native Coho that we could not keep as well as several Chinook that got away. Don't you just hate that when they get away !?!? Especially when they take your favorite spinnner, etc. with them!

The week of the 18th and the 25th we still have some great dates left. Also some good dates into November yet.

Hi Everyone!

OKAY!!!

Here is the first fish on the first trip in Tillamook for this year!!

A Beautiful 32 POUND FALL CHINOOK HOG !!!

This one was caught on a spinner.

Len likes to use a combination of techniques to try and get these FALL CHINOOK, making it a fun and interesting day.

The run this year is predicted to be one of the best in years with lots and lots of COHO.

The powers to be even raised the Coho limit from 1 fish per day to 2 fish per day!

We still have some very good days still left open so don't forget to book your TILLAMOOK FALL CHINOOK DAYS -- these fill up fast.

Hi Everyone!!

The OCEAN IS STILL RED HOT!!!

 

This was actually a limit for them and also for Len. The little girl could barely hold the one she has so did not even try to hold 2!

The Lady in the orange jacket - the fish in her right hand is a 20 lb Coho!

That is huge for this time of year and they will only get bigger and bigger.

 

The week of the 16th we have several days available. And others here and there.

Also - FALL CHINOOK season in Tillamook is just around the corner and booking up fast!

Check your calendars and either email or call to go get some of these awesome Salmon for your freezer!

Hi Everyone!!

The Ocean is RED HOT and SMOKING!!

It is so much fun. Lots of action. Sometimes there are 2 and 3 fish on at once!

Len doesn't even have time to take the fish out of the net so he is netting fish with fish still in the net!!

So far the limits have been early. Len leaves the dock around 6 and is getting back with limits for our customers and also for himself around 9 o'clock - give or take. One morning he was back at 7 o'clock!

This was the last day of Sturgeon! What a way to end the season!!

There is talk that they might extend it again and give us a few more days, but that is not for sure. We should hear in a few days. I will post it here if they do.

We have some very good Ocean dates still open as well as some great River dates. The River fishing will last way into September.

AND - we are rapidly closing in on the FALL CHINOOK season in Tillamook.

NOW is the time to check your calendars to get the date or dates that works best for you.

Hi Everyone!!

STURGEON REOPENS for July 10th thru July 12th and again July 17th thru July 19th!

We do have several of those dates still open so check your calendars and give us a call or email!

Here are the last couple of days of OCEAN COHO FISHING!

Both days we left the dock around 6 AM - got our fish by 8:00 and were back to the dock around 9AM.

As you can see - for this early in the run - these guys are good sized, very nice quality fish. And they are only going to get bigger and bigger and bigger!!

BUOY 10 in the OCEAN is open right now and then the RIVER opens AUGUST 1st.

I know this is a repeat from my other posting, however, I want to say it again. The run this year is predicted to be one of the best in ages!!

Mid August we are told that the limit most likely will go to 3 fish and then the end of August to 4 fish. Time to fill up your freezers!!

We still have some VERY GOOD fishing dates left for BOTH STURGEON and SALMON so check your schedule and give us a call or email and lets get you out fishing!

Hi Everyone!!

Here are pictures of the STURGEON we are catching!

These are big, fat, beautiful Ocean fish!

With the new measurement system we are actually getting some keepers that would have been oversized last year.

Every now and then even LEN gets to keep a fish.

I bet you can guess what we had for dinner! If you have never eaten Sturgeon - it is a real treat. It is a very mild white fish with no bones. Once you have had it you will want more and more!

ASTORIA STURGEON goes through June 28th. Then it opens again July 2nd through July 5th.

BUOY 10 in the OCEAN opens June 28th and then the RIVER opens AUGUST 1st. The run this year is predicted to be one of the best in ages!!

Mid August we are told that the limit most likely will go to 3 fish and then the end of August to 4 fish. Time to fill up your freezers!!

BUOY 10 in the OCEAN opens June 28th and then the RIVER opens AUGUST 1st.

We still have some VERY GOOD fishing dates left.

BOTH of these fisheries are ones that YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!! The fishing is AWESOME with lots of ACTION!

The STURGEON are HARD FIGHTING and the meat is a dense white meat with NO BONES. They taste great and I can share some of my own personal recipes with you.

And - of course - we all know how WONDERFUL SALMON tastes as well as being good for you. These come straight from the Ocean and they just don't get any better!!

Hi Everyone!!

Well - Sturgeon is done except there is always CATCH AND RELEASE.

AND - don't forget that the River opens on August 1st for Salmon.

The OCEAN is open right now for SALMON!

Ocean Salmon fishing is a real blast. Lots of action and usually a fast limit. Our 27 foot big boat has 36 inch high sides and cuts through the water very nicely.

We have Sterns inflatable suspender vests for everyone to wear. With the high sides, the length, all the safety gear and, of course, Len behind the wheel it is a very, very safe fishery. Len will not go if it is not a safe ocean and he NEVER pushes the envelope. Also, you are not very far offshore. Land is always in sight. So don't let the Ocean scare you. Just get out and get your fish!!

This is yesterdays catch. Left at 6 AM and back around noon.

The big one on the end is a CHINOOK the rest are COHO.

The Salmon are in the Ocean and the Sturgeon are in the River!

Where are you ??

Here is a July 6th Salmon catch:

And this is July 10th in the River.

We launched at 6 AM and were back to the dock at 8:15!

We still have a few days of KEEPER STURGEON left.

And if those dates do not work for you and you still want to go Sturgeon fishing then we can do a CATCH AND RELEASE trip.

Hi Everyone!!

WELL! I guess it is about time that I did an update!

We are in Astoria fishing for those awesome Sturgeon. As the water warms up it will only get better and better - so check your calendars and come join us. It will close on June 24th so there is not much time left!

I would like to clear up an issue concerning the Salmon run in Astoria. You hear that the Ocean is closed. That is for COMMERCIAL fishing only. We are considered Recreation or Sport's so it DOES NOT AFFECT US!

Talking about SALMON - now is the time to get the dates that will work for you. The Ocean should open around July 1st for the Buoy 10 fish.

Also on the topic of Salmon - the Ocean will open June 1st for the Summer Chinook that we call the big JUNE HOGS!

And, for those of you that have heard the rumor that Len was ill - well that was right. However, he has made a complete full recovery and is back to his old SELF! HA!

He has been out fishing every chance he gets and here are some of the more recent pictures.

I love this picture with the Cherry Blossom tree and the Marina in the background! This is Wayne's first Keeper Sturgeon ever!

Can't beat a limit of Sturgeon!

Nice Springer! And another nice one below.

We have lots to fish for (Sturgeon, Buoy 10 Ocean Salmon, Buoy 10 River Salmon and Ocean June HOGS!) and so little time!

Actually the 2 that he is holding - I caught! But I let him hold them so he could pretend he caught them. HA! The Chinook was quite a dandy - large enough that we cut some steaks out of it.

Hi Everyone!!

Here is a great bunch of Ocean Coho. Had these in the box and back to the dock before Noon!


Catching lots of Natives so it is a weeding process.

These 6 Coho and 1 Chinook took about 1 1/2 hours to catch!

It is shaping up to be a season like the good old days! Lots of fish and a fairly fast limit. They should be hitting the river in some numbers soon.



The Catch and Release Sturgeon Fishery has been a hoot! This is a great adventure for the kids. They don't have to worry about losing the fish and can just enjoy the fight!

Mid-August the river should be full of fish on into Mid-September. But the Ocean is HOT NOW!


So - here is my broken record again - call NOW to get a good Buoy 10 Salmon date and also do not forget those big FALL HOGS in Tillamook!

Hi Everyone!!

The Ocean has FINALLY calmed down so we can start getting out and Salmon fish!!

The Ocean is open NOW and the River opens on August 1st.

Here are a few Sturgeon pictures. Sturgeon is closed to retention - HOWEVER - you can Catch and Release.

In July we have all those big, fat Ocean Sturgeon in the River and fishing is awesome!

This is a 60 incher on the nose!!!

This group had an awesome day! Everyone got their fish including Len.

Vince caught another nice one. Not a 60 incher but some people fish their whole life and never catch a 60 incher! The other two in this picture are my Mother and my Sister, Brenda that came up from San Jose for the Holiday.

Needless to say, Brenda took some really nice Sturgeon fillets and razor clams back to California with her!

Check your calendars and email or call and let's get you out there for a fun day of fishing! Either Catch and Release Sturgeon or Salmon.

4 people - 5 fish = Len got one too!!

Last night I deep fried (I know NOT good for you) some pieces with Tempura batter - that with home made tarter sauce and we were set for the night! YUMMY!

Here is the first FLOUNDER of the year. I wouldn't mind catching a bunch of those. They are such great little fish to eat. Some years we catch a lot and some we only catch a few. ????

Now - here is little Chaplin the Dog. Len enjoyed his company very much. He liked to set there and watch the poles!

Please read the next message - it gives information at the end about what we are and will be fishing for.

Also - NOW is the best time to start thinking about getting a date for the Buoy 10 Season.

The Ocean opens the beginning of July and then the River in August.

NOW - is the time to book to get the dates that you want!

Hi Everyone!!

We now have gutters! Hee-Haw! Never thought I would be so excited about gutters. HA!

We also have the kitchen and living room drywalled and Len has been laying tile in his spare time - definately another HA! What spare time?

No dish washer - no kitchen sink. Have you ever tried to wash dishes in a bathroom sink? I find that the bathtub works the best! It is quite the sight
!

Here are a few recent pictures.

Len is Sturgeon fishing today and so far they have 2 Keepers.

Nice 25 pound fish! Chrome bright!

 

MAY 12th ASTORIA STURGEON OPENS!!

This is definately a fishery that you want to get in on. It goes through the end of June and normally into a couple of days in July.

We still have some good days open. A few weekends but more weekdays.

Also - the Ocean opens for Salmon the beginning of July.

NOW - is the time to book to get the dates that you want!

Email or give us a call and let's see if we can get you out fishing!

LET'S GO FISHING !!

Hi Everyone!

I haven't posted much lately. That doesn't mean we are not fishing! Len is out there almost everyday.

However, when he isn't he is diligently working on trying to restore some normalicy to our house.

We finally got the roof repaired and the drywallers come next week - so maybe I will have a kitchen again soon! I sure hope so.

Here are 4 Sturgeon caught this week.

The picture is kinda blurry. Len was practicing taking pictures with his cell phone. I think we will stick with the digital! HA!

The Springer's are starting to show in the Portland area. Not in any great numbers but it should just get better and better!

We still have some great fishing days left open. Email or call and let's see if any of them will work for you.

 

LET'S GO FISHING !!

Hi Everyone!

We have moved to Tillamook and are now chasing those FALL HOGS!

I forget how beautiful these fish really are. Nice and bright with long tailed sea lice right out of the Ocean!

It doesn’t get any better than that. Once you have had fresh Salmon – never frozen – you will cringe at buying it in the store again!

Here are a few pictures so far this year.


Our weather has been awesome. Chilly in the mornings and then clearing off to a bright, sunny day.

We still have some great days still open - however - it is starting to fill up fast. So CALL OR EMAIL TODAY!!

Hi Everyone!

Well - it is that time of year AGAIN!!

We are getting ready to make the move to TILLAMOOK for the Fall Fishery. Here is where we fish for those Huge King Chinook Salmon that we locally refer to as HOGS! (some people spell it HAWGS).

Here is an awesome King Chinook caught in the Columbia River here in Astoria.

35 POUNDS!! What a beauty!

Check this Steelhead out! This was caught on the same day.

Here is the whole catch. A COHO, a STEELHEAD and a 35 Pound KING CHINOOK.

Now THAT is a nice catch of fish!

Don't forget to get a date for the Fall Fishery in Tillamook.

Hi Everyone!

Here are a few Ocean Salmon pictures.

Nice Chinook - around 25 pounds.

Great batch of fish. Some of these Coho are huge!

Look! The Guy on the right end caught a DOG! HA!

The River opens on August 1st. That gives us the opportunity to fish either one - depending on where the fish are.

Hi Everyone!

Opening Day! Len got a limit for his folks and also one for us. Back in by Noon.

They sent us a really nice note:

"It was nice to meet you guys last week. The great reputation you have developed is certainly well deserved. I really enjoyed your low key approach, while still teaching. Thanks again."

This is the next trip out.

Looks like it is going to be a good season!!!

Hi Everyone!!

A recent email:

"LEN & TERRY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR JUST ABOUT THE VERY BEST DAY OF FISHING I'VE HAD IN MY 59 YEARS. YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND PERSONALITY ARE REALLY TOPS. THANKS." Ron

I have been so busy that my posting of pictures is WAY behind. Here some really good ones. I have lots of them where a group of 5 or 6 are holding their fish - but these are some that are really nice and a little different. If you don't see your picture here - email me with the date that you fished and I will post it soon.

This is a 59 incher!! I love this picture


This is a 60 incher!!

SO!!! The Sturgeon will stay open until July 4th. There is talk about it opening back up for a little while but we do not know yet for sure.

We do have some dates left open so call and get a date to get you a Sturgeon!

Ocean Salmon opens on July 3rd. It looks like it will be an awesome run. Not only do we get to fish on all our fish but also the ones that the Commercial guys down south are not getting to fish for. Bad for them but good for us.

LET'S GO FISHING !!

Hi Everyone!

Well - the pictures speak for themselves!!!

They are here and YOU ARE NOT!!!

We can solve that. We still have a few days open for you to get some of these PreHistoric, great eating fish for your freezer!

I can share my recipes with you and also this spring I created a couple of new ones that are AWESOME! Do you like Coconut?

P.S. PINK always catches the biggest fish!!

We are having a ball! All of our customers keep nice and cozy in our COVERED BOAT and watch all the other people try to huddle out of the wind and rain in those open boats! Hoods pulled down peering out of a little slit. That is why we designed it and bought it . FOR YOUR COMFORT!!

THE STURGEON ARE HERE !!

We are in Astoria fishing for those awesome, pre-historic, hard fighting, great eating STURGEON !

It is 11:30 AM - I just talked to Len and he has five keepers in the boat - the limit for today. Tune in tomorrow and see that picture.

These are a couple of pictures of recent fish.

This Fishery will go through June and into the first couple of days of July. We still have a few days open so check your calendar and let's get you out there and get one for your freezer!

Also, the Ocean opens on July 3rd for the Chinoook/Coho run. Those of you who have fished this fishery before know what a kick it is! Lots of action with rods going down left and right. We usually wind up having to net fish with fish still in the net! No time to take them out!

Hi Everyone!!

Well - with all this weather we have been getting out and fishing the most that we can.

Here are a couple of recent WINTER STURGEON pictures.

Lots of SHAKERS were caught that day and they managed to pull 2 KEEPERS out of the lot.

This is in our 27 foot, covered boat. This shows the back and how roomy it is. It is a very comfortable boat to fish out of.

We are currently booking for SPRING CHINOOK, WINTER STURGEON and WINTER STEELHEAD.

Just around the corner is ASTORIA STURGEON AND BUOY 10 CHINOOK. Both of these seasons book up fast. If you are thinking about doing either of these - it is a good idea to BOOK SOON!
