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

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!

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!!!

Feels almost redundant based on the other 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.

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

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.
