One More Guide Service offers premier fishing charters in Charleston, Oregon, led by Captain Will Merritt. With over 35 years of local fishing experience and a deep-rooted passion for the Oregon coast, Captain Will provides a personalized, high-intensity experience for anglers of all skill levels. Our business is built on a simple but dedicated philosophy: "One More." Whether it’s one more spot, one more cast, or one more hour on the water, we go the extra mile to ensure our guests leave satisfied and successful.

Operating out of the Charleston Marina and the scenic Umpqua River, we provide a diverse range of year-round and seasonal trips. Our ocean excursions utilize a 22-foot Navigator Sport equipped with a 115 HP Yamaha engine and advanced technology, including electric reels for deepwater halibut. We specialize in world-class halibut fishing charters and high-energy tuna fishing during the peak summer months. For those looking to fill their freezer, our year-round bottom fishing and crabbing trips are a staple of the Coos Bay area.

On the river, we transition to a 17-foot North River drift boat to navigate the Umpqua River’s famous runs. As a dedicated Umpqua River fishing guide, Captain Will leads specialized trips for Salmon and Steelhead from September through February. During the warmer months, we offer exceptional smallmouth bass and shad fishing, providing consistent action in one of Oregon's most beautiful river systems.

Beyond the rod and reel, One More Guide Service is proud to offer family-friendly eco-tours. Our Coos Bay whale watching and bird watching trips provide a relaxed way to encounter Oregon’s diverse marine life and coastal scenery. We pride ourselves on being a flexible, customer-focused operation. Unlike many charters that stick to a rigid clock, we offer full-day trips where the goal is to stay out until the fish are biting or the guests are tired.

Based at 63534 Kingfisher Rd, Charleston, OR, we are perfectly positioned to access the best saltwater and freshwater grounds in the region. Whether you are looking to book a private fishing charter for a solo challenge or a family-friendly outing on the coast, One More Guide Service delivers an authentic Oregon outdoor experience. Join Captain Will Merritt and see why we are the preferred choice for fishing charters in Charleston, Oregon. Your "One More" catch is waiting.
