Gearhart Fishing Charters & Guided Fishing Trips

Gearhart Salmon Fishing Charters

For many anglers visiting Oregon, salmon fishing is the trip they've been waiting for. The Columbia River supports major seasonal migrations of Chinook and Coho salmon, creating exciting opportunities for anglers throughout different portions of the fishing season.

R&S Sportfishing provides guided salmon fishing trips for Gearhart-area anglers who want to experience this famous Pacific Northwest fishery.

Depending on the season, trips may target Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Seasonal Salmon Runs.

Buoy 10 Fishing Charters Near Gearhart

Few names in Northwest salmon fishing carry as much recognition as Buoy 10. Located near the mouth of the Columbia River where it meets the Pacific Ocean, the Buoy 10 area becomes a major destination for anglers pursuing migrating Chinook and Coho salmon.

During the season, large numbers of salmon move through the lower river on their journey toward spawning waters throughout the Columbia River system. That makes Buoy 10 salmon fishing one of the signature fishing experiences available to anglers visiting Oregon's North Coast.

R&S Sportfishing uses knowledge of tides, currents, salmon movement and changing river conditions to determine where and how to fish.

Instead of relying on one location or technique, the strategy can change throughout the day as conditions change. For visitors staying in Gearhart, a guided Buoy 10 fishing trip can be one of the highlights of an Oregon Coast vacation.

An Experienced Fishing Guide Makes a Difference

R&S Sportfishing offers private guided trips for anglers who want to experience the Columbia River with their own family, friends, coworkers, or fishing partners. Private charters provide a more personalized experience and allow Captain Richard to work directly with your group.

They're particularly well suited for families with children, beginners who may want additional instruction, mixed-experience groups, corporate outings, and experienced anglers who want a focused day of fishing.

Instead of simply adding another activity to your vacation itinerary, a private Columbia River fishing charter gives your group an opportunity to share an authentic Pacific Northwest fishing experience together.
