My passion for fishing began around the age of six, thanks to my Dad and Grandpa. Ever since, I've been exploring the rivers and coastal waters of the Northwest, gaining years of experience. I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge, stories, and enthusiasm with every client. One of the most rewarding moments for me is witnessing the joy on someone’s face when they catch their first big fish. There's nothing quite like hearing a child excitedly shout, "I caught one!"
We had an incredible time with Wade despite the windy conditions. Fortunately, luck was on our side, and we ended up catching plenty of crabs. Wade is not only approachable but also very knowledgeable, making the experience even better.
This was our second trip guided by Wade, and once again, he delivered an outstanding experience. He guided us perfectly to find sturgeon, and our whole group thoroughly enjoyed the day. We're already looking forward to booking another adventure with Captain Wade.
Our trip was fantastic! Wade was extremely flexible, adjusting his schedule to accommodate our group's needs. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful. Throughout the outing, he prioritized our safety, comfort, and enjoyment. With his expertise and great personality on the water, Wade made the experience memorable. I would definitely recommend him to friends and would eagerly book another trip.
We had an unforgettable day catching a huge number of sturgeon! We're excited to return for another fishing adventure soon. It was truly a fun experience spending the day with such a great crew. Thanks again!
Our crabbing trip with Captain Wade was exceptional. We reached the crab limit with 60 large crabs in Tillamook Bay. Wade’s knowledge and friendliness were evident as he helped us find the best spots to harvest crabs. He even took us to a local spot where we cooked and then cleaned the crabs together. I highly recommend Captain Wade for anyone looking for a fantastic fishing or crabbing expedition—you won’t be disappointed!
