Hook your next big catch with Jesse’s Guide Service, where Captain Jesse turns a regular day on the Columbia into a reel-y good time. Whether you’re reeling in your first salmon or adding another trophy to the wall, you’ll feel right at home on one of the most sought-after Astoria fishing charters.


From the moment the lines hit the water, you’ll be targeting Columbia River royalty—Chinook and Coho—for an unforgettable spin on Columbia River salmon fishing trips. When conditions allow, Sturgeon, Steelhead, Sockeye, Lingcod, Black Rockfish, and Shad also join the lineup, so every drop of the rod carries fresh anticipation.


Captain Jesse’s 24-foot North River vessel comfortably fits up to six guests and is rigged with quality rods, reels, tackle, and a full spread of lures. The setup is dialed in to handle everything from light tackle finesse to heavier gear for bottom action, giving you the versatility needed to chase whichever species is biting hardest that day.


Because Fishing guides in Astoria Oregon understand local regulations inside out, Jesse will walk you through licenses, tags, and daily limits before you board. If a fish is legal to harvest, it’s headed to your cooler—cleaned and ready for the grill. All you need is an empty cooler waiting in your vehicle for the ride home.


Family crews are more than welcome, and the captain keeps appropriately sized life vests on hand so younger anglers can learn the ropes in total safety. Just remember to pack snacks, non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and your favorite beverages (beer and wine are fine, but kindly skip the hard stuff and glass containers).


Looking for the best salmon fishing charters in Astoria Oregon that balance professionalism with laid-back fun? Jesse’s trips strike that sweet spot, pairing deep local knowledge with a lighthearted atmosphere that keeps even seasoned anglers coming back for another run at the river’s finest.


So grab your calendar, pick a date, and let Jesse’s Guide Service put you on fish worth bragging about. The Columbia is calling—answer it with confidence and a rod in hand!
