Hi, I’m Bryan, your dedicated fishing guide based in Lincoln City, with my main fishing expeditions on the Siletz River. Fishing has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and now I’m excited to share this passion with every guest. I operate a 26-foot Alumaweld boat that comfortably seats up to six anglers. Whether you’re in a small group of two or six, I can accommodate you, and some trips are shared to give you the best experience possible. So if you’re traveling solo or with a partner, just reach out and I’ll find a spot for you!
I utilize advanced technology to help locate the best fishing spots, which consistently puts us ahead in the catch game. When you book a trip with me, you can relax knowing all the details are handled, and your day will be an unforgettable adventure. Just remember to bring your fishing license, wear shoes with good grip, pack a jacket, and get ready for a fantastic time on the water!
We’re passionate about what we do, and the fish seem to sense it too. When I relocated to Oregon from Chicago three years ago, one of my first goals was to land a memorable catch. Thanks to Bryan’s expert guidance and encouragement, a special Labor Day outing resulted in a 17-pound salmon on the line—a truly thrilling moment. Our haul that day included one impressive salmon and 17 crabs, making for a perfect mix of fishing and crabbing amid the stunning bay views and ocean breezes.
We’re already looking forward to our next ocean Coho trip with Bryan. He strikes the ideal balance of motivation, entertainment, and instruction, making each outing both fun and educational. The anticipation is building for our return journey—this experience was simply incredible!
Absolutely fantastic experience! Bryan was courteous, professional, and made our trip truly special. We’re eager to book again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a memorable fishing adventure.
You can cancel without any charges up to 14 days prior to your trip and get a credit applied to your account. If you cancel less than 14 days before the trip, your deposit will be lost to the guide. Cancellations on the day of the trip or failure to show up will result in a full charge of the trip cost to your card.
Wear sturdy traction shoes and dress in layers for comfort. Always carry a waterproof jacket and pants to stay dry. It’s also wise to bring snacks, drinks, blankets, and hats. Don’t forget to ask about life vests for kids—bringing your own is an added advantage!
If you're planning to fish along the Oregon Coast, Captain Bryan is your expert guide, bringing years of professional experience to your adventure. Our trips depart from Lincoln City on the Siletz River, providing easy access to prime fishing spots.
We offer combined Salmon Fishing and Crabbing excursions, available as half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) options. Please note that fishing and shellfish licenses are required to participate.
The coastal waters here are renowned for a variety of salmon species and Dungeness crab, among others. Expect to drift and bottom fish using light tackle typically within a couple of miles offshore, increasing your chances of a successful catch.
Trips usually last 4 or 8 hours but may end sooner if limits are reached. Launching from our private dock on the lower Siletz River, just a few minutes south of Lincoln City, ensures a safe and convenient start. The area is mostly private, secure for vehicles, and we’re happy to share local favorites for dining, shopping, and accommodations—just ask!
We welcome families aboard, and kids are more than invited to join the fun. If you don’t have a child-sized life vest, feel free to request one from us. Remember to pack snacks to keep everyone comfortable and happy throughout the day.
Our fishing vessel is a 26-foot Alumaweld Columbia that comfortably seats up to six passengers. It comes fully equipped with rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Live bait is available upon request, but you may get the chance to catch it yourself! Group trips are often organized for parties of two or four, making for an exciting social outing.
Be sure to purchase your local fishing and/or shellfish license before boarding; this can usually be done online or through guidance from Captain Bryan. Keep in mind that certain species may be protected or require special tags to keep, so it’s important to be informed ahead of time.
For your comfort and safety, wear shoes with good grip and dress warmly to prepare for variable weather. Don’t forget essentials like a camera, non-spray sunscreen, a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you want to bring beverages, just ask—alcohol in moderation is allowed, but hard liquor and glass bottles are prohibited.
Your next unforgettable Oregon Coast fishing and crabbing adventure with Captain Bryan is just a booking away!
