Captain Jason Erickson of Fish Food Guide Service offers some of the best fishing experiences in Astoria, Oregon, guiding anglers to the vibrant waters of the Columbia River. Specializing in a variety of species, Capt. Jason provides Columbia River fishing charters designed for both seasoned anglers and families looking for an unforgettable day on the water. Known for his expertise in catching Salmon, Sturgeon, Crab, and more, Jason is committed to making each fishing trip a unique adventure that combines fun with the thrill of reeling in big catches.


Fish Food Guide Service offers 8-hour fishing trips that target popular Columbia River species such as Sturgeon, Salmon, Lingcod, Seabass, Rockfish, and Crab, adjusting techniques based on the season and weather. With an arsenal of fishing techniques—light tackle, heavy tackle, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning—Capt. Jason adapts each trip to match the best opportunities for success. This flexibility ensures that every angler, whether a beginner or a pro, has an enjoyable and productive day out on the water.


The adventure begins aboard a 26’ Alumaweld boat, comfortably equipped to accommodate up to six passengers. The boat comes with amenities like an ice box for keeping your catches fresh and a wireless trolling motor for precision navigation, which ensures smooth maneuvering on the Columbia River’s dynamic waters. The price of each trip includes top-notch rods, reels, and terminal tackle, meaning anglers only need to bring their fishing licenses and any extra snacks or drinks they prefer. Complimentary drinks are available on board to keep you refreshed as you enjoy your time on the river.


Capt. Jason encourages families to join in the fun, as Fish Food Guide Service is a child-friendly charter, making it a perfect option for family fishing trips in Astoria. Young anglers are welcome, and Capt. Jason enjoys helping them experience the excitement of catching their first fish. Anglers can also keep all legal species caught during their trip, and the Fish Food team is happy to clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home ready to cook.


Fish Food Guide Service offers an exceptional way to experience the rich fishing grounds of the Columbia River. Book your trip now with Fish Food Guide Service and join Captain Jason Erickson for a day of adventure, family fun, and some of the best fishing Astoria has to offer.

This trip was fantastic! We targeted both steelhead and crab and succeeded in catching both. The boat was spotless, the crew was informative, and the captain’s expertise shone through every aspect of our two-day charter.

The salmon weren’t biting for anyone, but Jason took us right to some massive sturgeon, and we were catching and releasing them non-stop. An incredible trip!
