On the Water
Fishing Long Beach, Washington
Long Beach offers access to the abundant fishing grounds of the Columbia River estuary and the nearby Pacific coast. This area is a fantastic spot for targeting migrating salmon, with Chinook and Coho often found in good numbers during their runs. We also pursue steelhead here, particularly during the cooler months. A charter departing from the Long Beach area means you can experience both the power of the ocean and the productive waters of the river mouth. The salmon bite is usually strongest from late summer into the fall, while steelhead fishing picks up in the fall and continues through spring.
