Hi, I’m Bryan, your dedicated fishing guide based in Lincoln City, focusing mainly on trips along the Siletz River. Fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and now I’m excited to share that enthusiasm with others. I operate a 26-foot Alumaweld boat that comfortably holds up to six passengers. Most trips are for groups ranging from two to six, though I’m always happy to accommodate singles or pairs—just reach out, and I’ll find a spot for you!
I utilize advanced technology to help us locate the fish, which often leads to successful catches even when others struggle. When you book with me, you can relax knowing that everything will be handled for you so you can enjoy an unforgettable adventure. Just make sure you have your fishing license, wear footwear with good grip, bring a jacket, and show up ready to have fun!
We genuinely love what we do, and our enthusiasm seems to attract the fish. I’m also flexible regarding where we start our fishing trips, tailoring the experience to your convenience.
After moving from Chicago to Oregon three years ago, catching my first fish was a top priority. Thanks to Bryan’s expert guidance and encouragement during a Labor Day outing, I landed a 17-pound salmon—an incredible moment! That day ended with a fantastic haul, including a giant salmon and 17 crabs. I highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience the stunning beauty of the bay and enjoy a wonderful mix of fishing and crabbing. We’re already planning an ocean Coho trip on our next visit.
Captain Bryan strikes the perfect balance of being supportive, entertaining, and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to go out with him again—it was truly an amazing experience! The guides are courteous and skilled, making every trip memorable. Without a doubt, I’ll book with Bryan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure.
You can cancel without any fees if you do so at least 30 days prior to your trip and the amount will be credited back to your account. Canceling within 30 days of the trip will result in your deposit being retained by the guide. If you cancel on the day of the trip or fail to show up, the full payment will be charged to your card.
Please make sure to wear gloves, dress in layers, and choose shoes with good traction. Don’t forget to bring a waterproof jacket and/or pants to stay dry.
If you're planning to fish along the Oregon Coast, Captain Bryan is the ideal guide to lead your adventure, bringing years of professional expertise to ensure a great experience. Our trips depart from Lincoln City, launching on the Siletz River.
We offer combined Salmon Fishing and Crabbing excursions available as half-day or full-day outings. Please note that fishing and shellfish licenses are required for participation.
The local waters are home to various species of Salmon and Dungeness Crab, among others. With a bit of luck, you'll bring home some impressive catches! These trips typically involve drifting and bottom fishing with light tackle within a couple of miles from the ocean shore.
Choose between a 4-hour or 8-hour trip, although trips may end sooner upon reaching your catch limit. We launch from our private dock on the lower Siletz River, conveniently located just a few minutes south of Lincoln City. The area offers privacy and secure parking for our vehicles. Additionally, we are happy to share local tips on dining, shopping, and accommodations to help make your visit enjoyable.
Families are warmly welcomed aboard, and children are encouraged to join. If you don’t have a child-sized life vest, just ask, as we have them available. Don’t forget to bring snacks to keep everyone energized throughout the day!
Our vessel, a 26’ Alumaweld Columbia, comfortably accommodates up to six passengers. It comes fully equipped with rods, reels, tackle, and lures to set you up for a successful outing. Live bait can be provided, but please inquire in advance about availability and whether you’ll have the chance to catch it yourself. For groups of two or four, we often arrange group trips that add to the fun atmosphere onboard.
Make sure to purchase the necessary local fishing and shellfish licenses before your trip; these can be acquired online or by consulting your guide. Keep in mind that some species may be protected or require special tags, so it’s important to be informed about regulations ahead of time.
We recommend wearing shoes with good traction and dressing warmly in case of changing weather conditions. Bringing a camera, non-spray sunblock, a hat, sunglasses, and bottled water will enhance your comfort and enjoyment. If you wish to bring other beverages, please ask beforehand. Alcohol is permitted in moderation, but hard liquor and glass containers are prohibited for safety.
