What types of crab fishing charters are common in Oregon?

Nearshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for crab in Oregon as well as inshore fishing and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Oregon are trolling, bottom fishing, and heavy tackle fishing but light tackle fishing and jigging are popular as well.

How much do Oregon crab fishing charters cost?

Prices for crab in Oregon can range anywhere from about $325 to $1,500, but the average price for a half day trip for crab in Oregon is $545. The average price for a full day trip for crab in Oregon is $995.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for crab fishing in Oregon?

The most popular season for crab fishing in Oregon is fall, and most anglers book their trips 34 days in advance.

Do I need a Oregon fishing license for crab and what are the bag limits for crab in Oregon?

    Captain Izzy is a great way to explore the Oregon fishing, crabbing and clamming experiences. He is a great guy to spend a day around enjoying the bounties of the area around Tillamook.

    Captain Craig was the best guide we experienced. He was friendly, experienced and efficient. He knew the crab grounds and we wasted no time- please call him for a great time- My birthday was spent catching Dungenese crabs! Ben & Pam

    Captain Craig did a great job! Our first goal was fun, and my 4-year-old grandson had that. On top of that we caught a mess of crab! So fun! Thanks for the memories. We'll be back for some salmon and bottom fish memories!

    Trip: Salmon, Bottom Fish & Dungeness Crab

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    Trip: Salmon, Bottom Fish & Dungeness Crab

  • ★★★★★
    We had the best boating experience and crabbing experience that I believe a person could have. The weather was horrible and the catch the day before was minimal. But Craig our crab guide took us right to the exact spot where the crab we're waiting and boy did they fill the pots. It was my wife's first time out and she was not really ecstatic the way the morning started but she had a giant smile on her face at the end. Thanks again Izzy. See you this spring.
