Astoria Crab Fishing Charters & Dungeness Crab Fishing

It’s Crab Time!

It’s crab time! My Astoria crab fishing charters target Dungeness crab in the Columbia River and along the Oregon Coast. We limit out on every trip – 12 crabs per person, guaranteed (unless we get robbed by pirates, or some other incredibly unlikely event happens, in which case we’ll prorate the trip price).

We’ll eviscerate, cook, and serve the crab fresh out of the steamer, straight to your plate. I think you’ll absolutely love it.

Oregon Coast crabbing starts with dropping baited pots in productive water near the river mouth. We check and re-set pots throughout the trip, so there’s plenty of hands-on time pulling traps alongside the fishing.

Dungeness crab season on the Oregon Coast typically runs strongest in the fall and winter months, though timing can shift with regulations each year. Expect a hands-on, family-friendly trip that ends with fresh Oregon crab cooked right on the boat.
