Guided Ocean Fishing

Deep sea fishing trips on the ocean can be a challenging task that only skilled fishermen familiar with local waters should try on their own. For those that don’t have the knowledge, experience, or their own boat adequate for the challenge of ocean waters, a charter fishing trip will provide the captain, crew, boat and equipment needed to handle the rigors of an unforgettable, day-long, deep sea fishing experience. Contacting a charter fishing company to book a trip is the way to go for many anglers. These Charter Boat Fishermen have often spent their life on the water and know the tricks of the trade to help you learn the ropes and hopefully catch a king salmon, tuna or other saltwater fish.

Charter Companies in Westport

Booking a trip through a charter fishing company gives you the option to set sail on a variety of different boats. Each company oversees multiple vessels varying in size and capacity, so you are sure to find the right boat for your Grays Harbor, deep sea fishing adventure, based on the size and style you need or prefer. This is especially important if you are accommodating a large group, as you don’t want to get there and not be able to fit everyone aboard.

With these small boats, ocean fishing operations are independently run by the owners and not overseen by a charter fishing company. They are a great choice for those looking for a smaller boat and perhaps a more relaxed atmosphere during their Grays Harbor fishing trip.

Guided River Fishing

Many people associate fishing in Grays Harbor with the ocean, but the county also boasts hundreds of miles of rivers and countless streams that can easily be fished upon for world-class salmon, steelhead and trout species. Charter ocean fishing is a wild, adventurous activity, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Luckily, the nonprofit organization, Grays Harbor Guides Association has a compiled list of local, licensed fishing guides that can lead you out onto the vast river systems of Grays Harbor and have you fishing in no time.

The knowledgeable Quinault Tribal and non-tribal fishing guides offer an unforgettable experience for guided fishing trips in Grays Harbor year-round.

Fishing on the lower Quinault River in the Olympic National Park and Forest requires visitors to be accompanied by a guide, making booking in advance a requirement. While on the Quinault River, expect to reel in steelhead, salmon and trout that are known to often break records in this exclusive, pristine area.  Fishing trips can be customized to meet your needs and group sizes. Inquire with your guide about what gear you should bring before your journey.

New guides are known to establish themselves frequently, so contact the Quinault Indian Nation Tribal Center at 360-276-8215, or the Lake Quinault Lodge at 360-896-3818 for more information.

Fishing on Lake Quinault is also an option while visiting the Olympic Peninsula. This requires a tribal permit and knowledge of the specific rules and regulations of the area. Fishermen can catch the allotted trout limit during the summer months only. Salmon fishing on the lake is strictly prohibited. Your boat must also be registered, in order to use it on this lake. More information on Lake Quinault fishing can be found here.
