Astoria Fishing Charters and Guide Service reviews

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Astoria Fishing provides an exceptional experience. This was my first trip with Jeff and Julie, and it far exceeded my expectations. Jeff is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, and his boat is top-notch. Julie, as the deckhand, is fantastic—treating every client with the utmost respect and care. We quickly brought in full limits of crab, making for an incredibly successful day. Beyond their professionalism, Jeff demonstrated remarkable character by selflessly rescuing a stranded boat with three individuals who had lost all power, towing them safely back to the marina. This act of kindness speaks volumes about who he is. The experience didn’t stop on the water. Jeff and Julie welcomed us warmly to their home, where they cooked our crab to perfection. While waiting, we relaxed by a cozy fire pit and then enjoyed a delicious feast of crab before heading home with our limit of crab. Their hospitality is unmatched, making this more than just a guided trip—it’s an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for an outstanding guide service with unparalleled expertise, hospitality, and heart, Astoria Fishing should be your first choice. Hands down the best guide service I’ve ever experienced!

I had a wonderful time with Captain Jeff and first mate Julianna. Weather wasn't great this time of year for offshore so we stuck to the river and quickly caught our limits of jumbo crab. He showed us how to clean them and then Julianna cooked them all up for us at their place for a feast. We all went home with our limits of crab; cooked and professionally packaged for our voyage. I'll be back for Chinook Salmon and Ling Cod for sure.

If there was 10 stars above I would have clicked that one. This was my groups third crabbing trip in 2 years. We have limited out each of the 3 trips. Jeff is a conscientious skipper and Julie is a great deck hand. We have felt safe and well cared for each time. I'm booking another one for December.

We had an amazing trip with Captain Jeff and Julie last week and I highly recommend you go with them if you want experience, professionalism and fun. My 11year old grandson was absolutely thrilled with the whole experience. We caught our salmon limit and my son and grandson flew back to North Carolina with a huge bag of fillets. It was so much fun and I would absolutely use Astoria fishing for any other trips we might take!

Coho fishing on Columbia River. I had a great experience with Jeff and Julie and caught my limit of coho. When things got slow Jeff was able to figure out where to have success. I highly recommend them and will go again next year.

I went fishing yesterday with Jeff and caught my limit of Coho. At times the fishing was very slow and Jeff worked hard to find where the fish were and once he did all hell broke loose. At one point we had seven fish laying in the bottom of the boat because he and Julie were two busy netting fish to deal with them. It was pretty cool having three on at the same time. I would highly recommend Jeff as a guide and definitely will go with him again next year.

We had so much fun on our fishing trip! We lost count on how many Salmon we caught!! Jeff and Julie are wonderful!! Thank you both for one of the best fishing trips I've ever had!! We highly recommend booking a trip with them! Thank you!! Amber. and Johnny

Great guides and group of people dedicated to ensure you max out on the adventure

Well-run operation, and I got to learn a bit about a fishery I had very little knowledge in. Would book again!

Jeff and Julie went above and beyond for us! I brought my daughter with us and I was a bit hesitant to do so for obvious reasons. They both treated her exactly how I was hoping they would and we ended up staying in the water to the last minute possible so that she could get her limit! They got us in the fish over and over which ended up getting all six of us our limit! They’re the best! 10/10!! Here’s a few pics!

Julianna and Jeff gave my wife and I the most amazing crab experience. Both have excellent knowledge on where to get the good ones and are very friendly people. Definitely makes you feel like part of the family and to top it off you go to there house after for a 🦀 boil. Will be back for sure.

Went for salmon fishing with a party of 4 at Buoy 10 in August. Amazing experience! Jeff and Julie were both very knowledgeable and helpful. Caught lots of fish. They had free rain gear rentals which was super nice since you can get pretty wet out on the river. Definitely reccomend!

Great people, great trip, pulled tons of salmon!

BEST GUIDE AND DECK-HAND IN TOWN! Always done great with them. Will definitely keep going with them. Highly recommend!

Jeff and Julie are the best! If you are looking for a guide service with knowledge on catching fish and who to take care of their clients beyond what is expected you need to book with them. This is our 3rd time booking with them and it was great! We caught more fish than other charters today. We are coming back in December for crabbing with them. No one does more for their clients. They even process your fish for free to take home!!! Matt and Michelle Grant. Nampa, Idaho Matt and Michelle Grant. Nampa, Idaho

Great time ! Made the whole experience educational and accessible, and got some big Chinook out there too 😎

Jeff and Julie do more for their clients than most guides. Rain gear, fish cleaning and vacuum packing. Plus, most importantly, they know how to get on the fish. I've been out several times. We always put fish others.

A fantastic outfit! I can’t think of what more you would want w a guide service. Jeff and Julie weee fantastic. Plus the trip includes cleaning and vacuum packing your catch and they help with packing and shipping if needed. And we caught fish though the conditions were less that ideal

This is a professional operation From the gear, to the knowledge and system they have. The boat caught the coho limit in about an hour. I recommend using this company

Great day fishing!! Family fishing day for fall salmon August 6, 2024. We had caught our limit of coho salmon by about 9:00 a.m. Jeff is very knowledgeable about boating the river and ocean and Julie was great helping us with the lines. We had a great trip!

My son and I had an absolute blast salmon fishing with Astoria Fishing. Jeff and Julie were incredibly knowledgeable and put us on the fish! We caught our limit of salmon. Jeff and Julie went above and beyond to pack and ship our fish. I would highly recommend. I don’t think you can find a better charter.

Great time Sturgeon fishing! Went out for a bachelor party with Captain Jeff and his deckhand Julie. It was a trip of a lifetime! We targeted sturgeon and landed over 30 fish, several over 8 feet long. They both had fantastic knowledge of fishing, not to mention made it a great time all around. Would highly recommend Astoria Fishing Charters!

Excellent services. Will definitely have another fishing trip with them very soon.

Jeff and Julie are amazing and we will be booking with them again. They put us right on several schools of seabass and we hit our limit almost right away. they gave us a little tour of the lighthouse with the sea lions and even processed all our fish for us. I caught a crab and Julie cooked it up for us while jeff cut up our fish. We will be using them again no doubt.

Was a amazing day on the water with Jeff and Julie. My friend and his daughter flew out from Pennsylvania, and two other friends from Washington State joined me on a spectacular day of fishing. We caught 25 sturgeon and a few accidental flounder in just a few hours. The sturgeon ranged from 50+ inches to approx 11 ft. Most were in the 6-8 ft range. We will definitely be back.

Cannot begin to tell you how amazing Jeff and Julie were. Easy meet up, they even had rain gear for us to use!! Who does that?!? Jeff had us on the sturgeon almost immediately! Then it was just a whole day of snagging these dinosaurs! Never seen anything like them. We kept laughing and joking and snagging sturgeon! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone, for sturgeon or any other fishing trip!

Honestly, I wish I could leave a 10 star!!!! (You'll never understand how amazing they are, unless you book your fishing trip with them) They go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied!!!! (P.s. no 4 stars here 😜)

Jeff and Julie provided us with an excellent day of fishing. They did a professional job of organizing the trip, so we were well prepared. Their fishing advice allowed us to reach our limit of SeaBass. Jeff is an experienced fisherman and shared his knowledge with us. Julie did a wonderful job on deck. After the trip, they cleaned, vacuum sealed and iced the fish. I highly recommend them for an exciting and memorable day of fishing.

Amazing crew who WILL put you on the fish!

My wife, stepdaughter, and her boyfriend, what fishing with Jeff and Julie of Astoria fishing charters in May 2024. They booked an all day fishing trip and all caught their limits of Ling cod and bottom fish in less than two hours. Their guides, Jeff and Julie, were extremely patient and accommodating to three neophytes and helped them have a fantastic time. Jeff expertly cleaned and filleted all the fish and helped pack them in their coolers with ice. My family couldn’t have been happier with their fishing experience and Heidi recommend Astoria fishing charters to anyone and everyone.

Awesome time on the Columbia with the best captain and deckhand. Thanks for a memorable day of sturgeon fishing!

Jeff is a great captain, positive dude. A fisherman among men. An informative advocate of the Columbia River fishery that all Oregonians/Tourists should appreciate and take part of. He took us and our boys out for Springer Salmon fishing – a daunting task considering this elusive fishery is facing so many challenges. I'm a catch and release guy by nature but was really excited to catch/eat/cook a Springer on a Traeger 4 hours from landing at the Clatskanie River Inn. By all means, catch a salmon and eat it the very same day to appreciate how great it tastes and how it makes you feel connected to the river and the ebb and flow of life. This is a precious resource and opportunity that we all have to experience and protect. Jeff is open with his knowledge and willingness to share his insights that I will not divulge on Google. By all means book a trip with him, listen, learn and observe/conserve what we all have. We are excited to go out with him again for Sturgeon in shallow water and we will be bringing all sorts of go-pros, 360 camera's, etc. for a totally different type of experience.

Jeff at Astoria Fishing Charters is truly exceptional. From the moment we set out with him to fish for the elusive spring salmon, his expertise and candor shone through. Jeff made it clear from the outset that success wasn't guaranteed when pursuing these elusive fish, especially this year—a refreshing dose of honesty that instantly won our trust. With our expectations appropriately tempered, we embarked on what turned out to be an unforgettable adventure. Against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery along the Columbia River, Jeff's guidance elevated our experience to new heights. And, despite the odds, we were rewarded with the ultimate prize: my 13-year-old son reeling in his very first Chinook—a springer, no less! It was a moment of pure exhilaration, made possible by Jeff's unwavering professionalism and profound knowledge of his craft. To underscore the magnitude of our achievement, consider the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's report for the week of our excursion: a mere 11 Chinook kept and two released for 57 boats and 132 anglers. Amidst this challenging landscape, we defied the odds and landed one of the coveted catches of the week—a testament to Jeff's unparalleled skill and guidance. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse Jeff at Astoria Fishing Charters and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to enlist his services again in the future. If you're seeking an unforgettable fishing experience marked by integrity, expertise, and the thrill of the catch, Jeff is unequivocally the guide you need.

Amazing day with Jeff! Wonderful and knowledgeable guide. Makes any kind of day work :).

Jeff and Julie go above and beyond to ensure safety and help with the harvesting, cooking, and icing my catch for transportation.

We were catching fish nonstop, with double fish-on three times during on our salmon fishing trip, making it an insanely amazing experience! Jeff and Julie treated us like family, which is something we had not experienced with any other charter service, and we have been on several. We were invited to their home where they filleted, cleaned, and vacuumed packed our fish. It made transporting our fish home mess-free. Jeff and Julie live in Astoria year round, so they know all the best fishing spots. Jeff’s fishing prowess must be mentioned, because his experience allowed us to catch fish when others just watched and waited. Julie, the deckhand, was invaluable to maximizing our time catching fish. I wish I was aware of their heart, soul, and skill prior to booking other charters. It’s difficult to tell who is good when researching online. Astoria Fishing Charters and Guide Service is hands down the best I’ve encountered! Can’t wait to fish on Buoy 10 with them again next summer! https://youtu.be/FrK_S9-nViU?feature=shared

Got so much fish. They were amazing.

Another great crabbing experience with Astoria Fishing Charters! Jeff and Julie are experts, and navigated us through some choppy waves and wind in the Columbia in their awesome boat. They made sure we were all comfy and prepared. The crab pots came up with plenty of crab for everybody. Julie showed us how to prepare the catch (definitely part of the fun!), and cooked it for us with their professional outdoor setup, while we hung out by the campfire and watched the ball game. They also helped us pack our freshly cooked crab for travel home. They have an ice machine and vacuum sealer and a ton of advice on the best way to get your catch back home. Thanks for the hospitality, Jeff and Julie. I'm looking forward to a fishing trip with Astoria Fishing Charters in the new year!

Fantastic salmon fishing Jeff and Julie took me on a great fishing experience. They are experienced guides. Jeff is knowledgeable about fishing the Columbia river and the ocean. We caught our limit in salmon in September on the river and in the ocean. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to catch fish. Jeff"s wife Julie is a great deckhand and helps make your fishing trip a great experience. I will definitely fish with them again.

Jeff and Julie, are awesome people. They take their job seriously and make it a lot of fun. The crab boil, after fishing all day was great. They cut and packaged all our fish. Thanks for the most awesome anniversary ever. We are definitely going to go out with them again. Thanks!!!

Jeff and Julie were great! We caught a lot of fish, Jeff is a great fisherman. We had a great time on the boat. I could not have asked for a better fishing trip! Thank you Jeff and Julie!

They were a super fun couple and they knew where to find the fish I enjoyed every minute of our day on the ocean.

Feels almost redundant based on the 9ther reviews but its no lie Jeff and Julie are the real deal in every way and if you are in astoria they are the way to go. True locals unlike some other companies that only pretend they are actually local but just move around by season. My arms are so tired from all the sturgeon its hard to type this!

Had an awesome time salmon fishing the ocean. My dad, brother and I all caught our limit of coho plus a surprise widow rockfish! Thanks Jeff and Julie for a great trip!

Just finished 3 days with Jeff &julie. The fishing was great But that wasn’t by accident. Jeff used his expertise to put us at the right place at the right time. Even tho it cost him extra .It’s easy to say he treated us like family but it was more then that. You need to see for yourself

Fished with them twice. Jeff and Julie are amazing. Jeff Captain's with authority, letting you know every move he makes and why he's doing it. Keeps you very well informed. Great guy. Julie takes care of all the little things. She works her tail off. Caters the customers every need. I would bet...Every boat captain wishes he had a Julie.

I have been fishing all over for 60 years, my wife, her sister and significant other, and I went catch and release sturgeon fishing today. It was the best trip ever, we caught ~45 fish between 4'-8' in 4hrs. Jeff and Julie are amazing.

Jeff and Julie are awesome. We went out for a catch and release sturgeon trip and it was amazing. We caught at least 25 sturgeon on the Columbia, with some of them being 7 and 8 feet long. They were super organized and kept the rods baited and at the same time, they were unhooking hooks for us. They supplied us with gloves and jackets if we wanted to use them on the boat. Highly rated!

I can't recommend them enough. I had so much fun! I have never been fishing. Well, not since I was 5. They were very patient with me, taught me what I needed, showed me and helped me out. They even had rain gear for me to borrow(I thought I was layered enough...not. I froze despite layers, so when you think you have enough, add 3 more, you can always remove them later). We all got our limit. They packaged it up for us and put it on ice for me. They made everything fun yet were still professional. You won't go wrong with Jeff and Julie.

Best experience with these guys! They treat you like family.

what an awesome fishing experience. this team gave us the A plus of a fishing trip. we went for bottom fishing and crabbing. we have never been treated better. caught ournbottom fish in 45 minutes and the crabbing was just as quick. after that you wouldn't believe how we were treated. you are missing if you don't experience this adventure,

Was an amazing charter 2nd charter I have ever been on and will be the only charter I will use for my trips around Astoria vacationing in the future we really appreciate the attention to detail with Jeff and Julie that you won't get with the bigger fishing charter company's thanks once again guys

I have been on more than one fishing charter. Seriously folks look no more! Jeff and Julie was awesome and the most affordable price for everything that they include in their package. I will be coming back.

Best experience! Jeff and Julie were knowledgeable, friendly, and just hands down awesome. My husband and I went out two different days while in town. Both days we had a blast. We'll definitely be booking with Jeff again. Won't get that service or knowledge with anyone else. Thank you so much guys. Can't wait for next year.

Me and my wife just had our first charter experience with Astoria Fishing Charters. Since it was our first time, my wife was a little worried, but Jeff and Julie were amazing. They took care of us from providing rain gear to packaging our fish for our flight home. They are very prepared and organized. Really great service, and even better people. Will be back again in the future.

Very knowledgeable guide, came back home with some great catch

Best guided trip ever. Limits of cohos by 9:30 and 2 very large sturgeon each before 1pm. Lastly, they perfectly cleaned and packaged our fish to take home via airplane. Jeff and Julie are a top notch crew. Thanks for a great day!

We had a great time and reached our limit by early morning

we had a great time with Jeff and Julie.we got all our chinooks by 10 am.

Best Charter Boat and Captain this side of the Mississippi! The experience is now one our family has made a tradition! Top Notch is an understatement! Captain Jeff put us on the fish!

Jeff took us out for Sturgeon on the Columbia River Basin. His communication and information before the trip was excellent. It was the experience of a lifetime! Jeff and Julie worked hard for us rigging, baiting, setting hooks and landing fish. They also provided lots of instruction and techniques to help us get through the day more efficiently. The experience has only gotten better as my kids keep talking about it to anyone who will listen. 40+ giant fish in six hours. Simply amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Astoria Fishing in the future. Jeff operates a very professional service.

Jeff and Julie are total pros! From the fishing experience to cleaning, filleting, vacuuming packing and even filling your cooler with ice! This is the ultimate guide charter trip, I can’t recommend this highly enough. If you want to catch fish with people who care about your experience this is the place.

This is the main reason we picked Astoria for our honeymoon and it definitely did not disappoint. Jeff and Julie were amazing and we shared the boat with one other client. I lost count how many sturgeon we pulled in and my arms are super sore today, but I would do it all over again today and the rest of our time here.

Best day of fishing I've ever had. Catch and release Sturgeon was amazing. I can't recommend it enough.

Super fun experience. We originally planned to fish in the Ocean with AFC. Jeff reached out a day prior letting me know Chinook season just opened back on the Upper Columbia and versus dealing with high winds and choppy water in ocean, Jeff said we might have a more enjoyable time with calmer waters and fishing one of his favorite spots. Jeff knows his tributaries really well, rigging techniques that work and set us up for a higher probability of tagging out with quality Hogs! Thank you Jeff at Astoria Fishing Charters for a great time! We highly recommend Jeff! Can’t wait to book my next fishing trip! My brother Issac and I tagged out!

June 6th day of fishing on the Columbia River. Jeff. The guide always provides great service and skill. Our success exceeded my expectations, as usual. 4th time out with this gide.

Jeff is always great and his deck hand is very helpful

Fishing guide I have been out with several times over the last few years. Jeff knows the Springer Chinook fishery on the Columbia River. He puts in the work to make the chances of success very high. Went out on June 6th, 4 anglers, 7 adult Chinook and several jacks. He works for you.

Full boat limit by 10am. And he said it was a slow day. If limits by brunch is slow I don’t know if I could handle a “good” day! Other than his ability to get you on fish quick and consistently, he’s a genuinely amazing person and a blast to fish with! This man knows his stuff, PERIOD!

6 people on out boat. 6 keeper Chinook Salmon. The fish and wildlife person said she had checked 7 other boats, with a total of 2 fish between them. The proof is in the freezer.

Best guide service I've ever used. Great communication with coordinating the trip, excellent service and great people. Amazing trip, would go back anytime!

Great people, got all 6 of our limits on crab in an hr!

This was my second year in a row going out salmon fishing with Jeff and Julie, had a blast as usual! Caught 2 Coho Salmon, and walked away with my limit on crab too! They cook the crab for you in a huuuge pot at there home. Then they clean and package up the fish for you. Awesome people! Couldn't be happier with their hospitality and service! Thanks guys! Once again you made my birthday special and memorable.

Simply the best

What an amazing day! Jeff is a master at navigating the waters and finding the fish. Julie, hostess with the mostest, ran around making sure everyone was comfortable and that our lines were well baited and ready for the next fish. At the end of our successful day we were invited to their home where they cleaned, filleted and vacuum packed our catch. Definitely a 5 star day.

I don’t believe we could have had a better fishing experience thanks to Jeff and Julie. Despite having what looked to be 200+ fishing boats out on the water, Jeff was able to put us on top of fish with 5 of the 6 people on the boat landing chinook salmon. We had one coho that was just 1/2” too short to keep and 3 other strikes that were able to break away. As a long time resident of Astoria, Jeff really knew the local waters and was able to find locations that didn’t have 100’s of other people looking for a catch. Jeff and Julie took our catch back to their home and filleted, processed and vac sealed our fish. They also gave us great advice on how to best transport our fish. Definitely one of those rare occurrences where you meet new people as strangers and leave as friends.

My 11 year old son and I had an amazing time. Jeff and Julie were great. Very kid friendly. Professional, safe, very knowable. And throughout our communications prior to the trip - very responsive. Had an amazing time sturgeon fishing. Would definitely recommend using them.

Fishing was perfect, we were really impressed about hospitality and how good they cook crabs. Extremely positive experience. Definitely recommend these guys if you are planning ocean fishing.

Jeff and Julie are great. No nonsense fishing and we had a great time. Limited out in a few hours pulled up dinner crab pots and head a wonderful lunch. All the fish was cut and vacuum sealed for us and even had ice available for three trip home. You won't find a better guide in the area. Make sure you book ahead of time and give Jeff a call to get the info in your trip. We will be back.

Fishing with Jeff and Julie was the absolute highlight of our trip on the Oregon coast. We put in on the Columbia and went through the “bar” into the Pacific to catch our limit of Coho Salmon and got a nice hall of crab as well. We saw seals and even caught a glimpse of some whales. The Astoria Fishing team clearly knew the waters better than anyone and was quick to change locations if it didn’t appear they would be fruitful. Coming from a family of fisherman and guides on the gulf coast, I can tell you that you won’t go wrong with this team. On top of being great guides, Jeff and Julie are genuine and kind people which made my 12 year old son’s first trip one he won’t forget. Thank you!! We can’t wait to return and go out again.

An experience we will never forget! Thank you so much to Jeff and Julianna. These guys were up front and honest about what we could expect and went above and beyond to help try and please our whole group. Highly recommend them. Very easy going and great to fish with, plus they took us out for a long day at a great price.

Jeff took me and another fisherman out to anchor for some salmon on the Columbia. We caught 4 nice salmon when none of the other 7 boats we could see even got a strike. He filleted our fish and shrink wrapped it for us. He's an honest guy that really knows the local waters. I highly recommend him. You might also get to meet Julie, his significant other and registered deck hand. She's a cool person and easy to talk to. Go fishing with Jeff!

What an amazing trip limited out by 930 and what great hospitality after the trip. Recommend it to everyone

Great Day Bottom Fishing with Astoria Fishing We had an excellent day with Jeff and Julie. We had family members that had never been fishing before and Astoria Fishing made sure everyone on the boat had a great experience. Jeff and Julie are knowledgeable, they went out of their way to help everyone, the boat is really comfortable, and we highly recommend.

My son and husband had a wonderful experience today fishing with Astoria Fishing Charters. They were super communicative in answering all my questions and made the experience extra special, from processing the fish, providing rain gear, and various suggestions. Highly recommend!

An Unrivaled Day What a fantastic day we had. We, a group of 4 friends, were joined by 2 other people for our full day fishing trip. Jeff and Julie provided an amazing experience. Despite several hundred boats on the water, Jeff was able to move us away from the throngs of other hopefuls and put us on top of some incredible chinook salmon. The six of us brought home 5 salmon. Too bad that the one coho we landed was 1/2” too short of the required length. As Jeff and Julie actually live in Astoria and run their business from there, they are more than familiar with the local waters unlike many of the 100’s of other boats that ply the same waters. We especially appreciated the personal service of inviting us back to their home to have our fish processed including filleting and vacuum sealing.

Amazing Time Fishing For Sturgeon! My 11 year old son and I had a blast. We've been salmon fishing before in the past on the Columbia, but THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. Jeff and Julie were great. Lots of fun. Where else can each of us in the boat catch multiple giant fish in 7 hours. Definitely child friendly guide. This is a must do if your planning on going to the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip with Jeff and Julie. They were efficient and knowledgeable and really went the extra mile to make sure we had a fun and successful trip. They cooked the crab for us (delicious recipe) and filleted our salmon. Really provided exceptional service. We had the best time. Thank you Jeff and Julie, you guys are awesome!
