-
Fishing License see below for more details.
-
Rain Gear. Dressing in layers is our recommendation, it can be hot or rainy - see more below
-
If you get seasick and use seasickness medication, we recommend taking Dramamine the night before, drowsiness wears off and typically it lasts for 24 hours (not Doctor’s advice!).
Can I bring alcohol on the trip?
-
We want you to have an enjoyable experience! While we encourage a lively atmosphere, we cannot permit excessive intoxication. If participants become too intoxicated and their safety is a concern, we may need to conclude the trip early to ensure everyone's well-being.
How should I dress for the trip?
-
Our trips offer the comfort of an enclosed cabin with a heater for warmth, but the fishing action unfolds on the open deck, exposed to the elements. Even during summer, mornings can be chilly and damp, with afternoons warming up. To ensure your comfort, we advise dressing in layers and bringing rain gear, regardless of the season.
Which licenses and tags do I need?
-
If you already have a valid Oregon Fishing license, you're all set. However, for Salmon, halibut, or sturgeon fishing, remember to obtain a Harvest tag as well. If crabbing is part of your trip, be sure to secure a Shellfish license.
-
For those without an existing Oregon Fishing license, Oregon offers a hassle-free solution with a one-day license, which includes the required harvest tag and Shellfish license.

Oregon Licenses - You may purchase licenses online at https://odfw.huntfishoregon.com/login or visit a local retailer (Tillamook Sporting Goods, Fred Meyer, etc.). The ODFW online system makes things pretty simple, and e-tagging works great! If you choose to do online, be sure that after accessing the ODFW website you create an account for each angler, which requires a SSN, birthdate and email address (the same email can be used for multiple accounts).
-
One-Day License (e-tag): To purchase the license, choose, “access full ODFW account online.” Login then click, “purchase from the catalog” and select the “One Day Angling & Shellfish License.”
-
One-Day License (printed): Scroll down below the login section to “Guest Checkout,” select the “One Day Angling & Shellfish License” and then checkout. Remember to repeat this process for each angler.. Be sure to print both the license AND tag and bring them with you on the day of your trip.
-
If you created a myODFW account, please login and make sure you stay logged in and ready to tag your catch PRIOR to your trip. If you are purchasing day licenses for more than just yourself, the printed method can be easier
