Salmon on the Nehalem river is producing! Crabbing has been awesome and when we can make it out to go bottom fishing it's been phenomenal. And don't forget steelhead is coming up in January so get out there and fish on!

It was a really nice experience we had with Wade. It was a windy day, but we were lucky that day so we caught a lot of crabs. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable person.

Trip: Oregon Crabbing Trip

Our crabbing trip exceeded my expectations. Craig's boat had comfortable seats. He offered us high quality lightweight life jackets (the blow-up kind). He told us the ocean was relatively calm and asked if we wanted to leave the bay and go out there. We did. He instructed us how to drop the crab pots, then entertained us (and our 4-year-old granddaughter) while we waited before checking the pots. We saw sea lions on a buoy; saw hundreds of jellyfish; learned about air bladders on fish like canary rockfish. our granddaughter got to view the radar screen showing where fish were. A first for any of our family: We caught our limit of crab, which Craig worked with my two sons to clean and cook for us. I felt completely safe with Craig. He is very knowledgeable and responsible; answered all my questions ahead of time. A wonderful, memorable day, well worth setting out before dawn.

Couldn’t ask for anything more. Captain Rod worked out trip around the weather and accommodated an extra person. Super knowledgeable and willing to educate us about everything we encountered during our charter with him. He knew exactly how and where to target salmon and we limited out! We will return and we will definitely request Rod for our guide. Highly recommend using Captain Rod for a successful, enjoyable and entertaining adventure!

We had an awesome crabbing trip with Captain Wade. We limited out on crab catching 60 LARGE crab in Tillamook Bay. Captain Wade was knowledgeable, friendly, and found us the best crab in the Tillamook bay. He also took us to a place where they cook the crab and then he helped us clean them. Highly recommend Captain Wade. You'll have a great trip!
