Astoria Fishing Charters and Guide Service reviews from Google, Facebook and Tripadvisor
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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

What an amazing day! Jeff is a master at navigating the waters and finding the 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.

Margo Miller11/17/2021
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.

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.

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!

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.

My daughter and I booked a trip with Jeff and Julie in late May of 2020. We were met at the Marina on time and ready to go. The boat was very nice and we enjoyed the wild ride across the bar going out of Astoria. We reached the fishing grounds after a short scenic trip and began fishing. The fun began! We hooked up ling cod, sea bass and several other species of fish, then moved on to the next hot spot. The fishing was exceptional, however Jeff and Julie made the trip unforgettable. They were beyond friendly and went above and beyond in every way. If you are coming to the Astoria area, book with Astoria fishing charters, you won't regret it!

The Surgeon of Sturgeon My wife gave me a great birthday present. A day on the Columbia fishing for sturgeon with our neighbor & I.Jeff & Julie are a great team. Jeff is a knowledgeable captain & Julie is an excellent 1st mate. We were out less than a half-hour before we started to get our 1st strikes.These were not small fish. We hooked up with 17 over the course of the day.If you're looking for a great fishing adventure --- have a chat with Jeff.

So fun to be part of the grandchildren catching their first salmon and pulling up the crab pots. Jeff and Julie were outstanding in helping us clean, fillet, and vacuum pack the fish for our return trip home. My wife and I will book other trips in the future with other family members. Fun was experienced by all. A big shout out to Jeff and Julie - they are outstanding guides and now friends!!!

My first crabbing excursion was a blast. Jeff and Julie were amazing guides who hold safety as priority one.

Great Trip Jeff and his deckhand Julie kicked ass!! It was a tough day for a trip however, they really came through. Professional, safe, fun times and lots of crab. We booked the trip early and stayed in contact to deal with the changing conditions. We are all looking forward to a Springer trip and plan for more in the future.

Awesome day fishing with Jeff and Julie today. Limited out quickly with sea bass then hit the mother load of monster crabs. Couldn't have asked for a better day on the water.

Jeff and Julie are so cool and amazing and patient! Everyone caught a fish and they shared their crab with us from the crab pots! Our safety was first, rules followed to the letter. My wife and I enjoyed the other guests on the boat and have many wonderful memories, photos and delicious food for later! I can't wait to go again!!!!

Jeff and Julie make a great team. Jeff kept looking for fish as conditions changed, and Julie kept the lines in the water. My wife reeled in 8 by nice fish but only one keeper, and I managed three fish with two keepers. It was a slow day, but Jeff and Julie stayed out all day looking for those fish. We met Joe and Bob from Wisc, Tenn, and had a great day. Thanks Jeff and Julie for a great day.

Me and a buddy went out ocean salmon fishing on 7/12/19 with jeff and julie and really enjoyed our experience. It went pretty slow in the morning trying to find the fish because of strong winds the past couple days but jeff used his knowledge and got us on the hot bite and where no one else was.limited out the group of 5 and jeff and julie got 3 more while getting ready to head back.amazing to see so many rods going off at the same time.got back to the dock by 1130 and was suprised to hear we were the first to limit out with a group larger than 2.apparently other people had a hard time finding the salmon.i give jeff an A + for this experience

Highly recommend! We had the best fishing experience with Astoria Fishing Charters! Jeff and Julie were very kind and attentive to us and used their experience to provide the best fishing trip we could ask for. We caught up to our limit in Coho and we will be enjoying our fish for the next several weeks. We will definitely be coming back to them in the future!

Jeff worked incredibly hard on what was a slow fishing day. We maybe tried 15 fishings spots, tried a multitude of different baits and even fished for 2hrs extra! We where rewarded with two nice Sturgeon at the end of the charter. I couldnt be happier! Thankyou Jeff for all your knowledge and effort!!!

Friendly guy, nice boat, comfy seats, only downside is a lack of shelter - to be expected on a boat this size and design. The fish weren't really biting, but he knew all the places to look until we caught our limit of sea bass and crabs.

Jeff and Julie are AMAZING wonderful caring and genuine. They really make you feel welcomed and are amazing fishing guides/hosts. I will be returning, and i couldn't reccomend anyone better. I made last minute plans for my fathers birthday and they were more than accommodating. And when I say last minute, I mean we called Monday afternoon and we fishing Tuesday morning. They took us out on the ocean, put us right on some beautiful fish, and helped us limit out on all our Salmon, Bottom Fish, and Crab! After we finished our activities on the water, helped us clean and cook our crab, and took us to a nice location to have pur fish cleaned, cut, and sealed! truly an amazing business, run by top notch people. This was one of the best days of my life.
