I’m Jeff Keightley.  I hope to be your next salmon fishing guide. I offer a variety of fishing charters, including salmon, sturgeon, steelhead, bottom fishing (for rockfish like Ling Cod and Sea Bass), and Dungeness crab fishing on the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean out of Astoria, Oregon.

4/19/2025  Salmon fishing is right around the corner! Ocean salmon season begins on June 25th and is scheduled to run through September 30.  Buoy 10 salmon fishing (river fishing for Chinook salmon) season dates are not yet established for 2025, but it always begins on August 1st and rumor has it we will get until September 6 this year.

Bottom fishing is always open and typically excellent. We just need favorable ocean conditions, which can be hit or miss until about July. The good news is that winter and spring months are usually fantastic for fishing if conditions are right.

Sturgeon fishing heats up by the end of May. June and July are excellent months with nearly unbelievable action.
