Tillamook is one of those places where the coastline, tides, and wildlife all seem to work together to deliver steady action, and Pro Fish Guide is here to help you make the most of it. Captain Ted has spent years learning how these local waters behave, and he brings that experience to every trip. Whether you’re chasing your first saltwater catch or looking for a full day of steady rod bends, he knows how to put you in the right spots at the right time.

This area offers a mix of species that keeps each outing interesting. Depending on the season, you can target Crab, Lingcod, Rockfish, Salmon, Black Seabass, and other coastal favorites. The captain adjusts the plan to match the conditions, so you might try spinning along the rocks, working jigs through deeper pockets, trolling for Salmon, or dropping bait near structure for bottom-dwellers. The goal is always the same: give you a fun, productive day with plenty of chances to hook something memorable.

Families are welcome, and kids often end up being the stars of the trip. If you need a child-sized life vest, just ask so the captain can arrange it. You’re welcome to pack snacks and drinks to keep everyone comfortable between bites. Captain Ted is patient with beginners and enjoys helping guests learn the basics, from holding the rod to recognizing a solid bite.

Your day starts aboard a 32’ Defiance sportfishing boat built to handle coastal conditions while keeping up to six passengers comfortable. It has the space you need for casting, moving around, and settling in during the ride. A toilet is available on board, which makes longer trips easier for families. All rods, reels, and lures are included. Live bait is available when needed, though you can always ask ahead of time if you’re curious about how it will be used.

Every angler will need a valid Oregon fishing license before departure. Some species require tags or follow seasonal rules, so confirming the latest guidelines is a good idea. Captain Ted is happy to point you in the right direction if you’re unsure.

Guests should bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, water, and any personal items they like to have on hand. Alcohol is fine in moderation, but skip glass bottles and hard liquor for safety.

If a day on the Tillamook coast sounds good to you, this is your chance. Book with Pro Fish Guide and enjoy a trip built around fishing, fresh air, and time well spent on the water.
