Tillamook Bay fishing for Chinook Salmon on the Oregon coast.
Lower Columbia River Fall Salmon Fishing
August marks a return to concentrating on salmon fishing in the lower
Columbia with Chinook (King) and Coho (Silver) salmon being the targeted
species. Fishing predominantly out of the Port of Chinook, Sidewinder
Charters will fish where the fish are, whether that is running out to Marine
Area 1 in the Pacific Ocean or staying inside the Columbia River for the
storied Buoy 10 fishery. With a typical Columbia River Fall Chinook salmon
weighing 25 pounds with a shot at a mint bright 40+ pound fish you can begin
to understand why so many people plan their summer vacations around this
fishery. Feisty Coho salmon averaging 8-10 pounds add variety.

Lower Columbia River Sturgeon Fishing
In mid-May we move downstream to the Astoria-Megler Bridge area at the mouth
of the Columbia. There we concentrate on fishing for the abundant sturgeon.
Sturgeon are also an anadromous fish native to the Columbia system, but have
a much longer lifespan than salmon and can grow to enormous sizes. If you
have not experienced a hot sturgeon bite, then black-out some dates in
mid-May through June and join us for this fantastic fishery - we may hook 25
fish and the largest could well be longer than you are tall! With launches
at Chinook and Deep River we have maximum flexibility to get to the hot
spots with a minimum amount of running time.
Lower Columbia River Sturgeon Fishing
what: White Sturgeon
why: Keeper Sturgeon average 42-60" with Oversize fish up to 12 feet
possible
when: mid-May through July
where: Astoria-Megler Bridge area from the Deep River launch and the Port of
Chinook

24' Custom North River Aluminum Fishing Boat
Sidewinder Charter clients fish from a state of the art, covered, heated,
custom built aluminum 24 foot North River Deep V Jet Boat with a 385 h.p.
496 cubic inch big block chevy engine and a Yamaha 8 hp kicker motor with a
TR1 Autopilot for trolling. This combination of hull and outdrive allows
Toby the greatest amount of flexibility for getting to the fish, whether it
is crossing the bar at Tillamook or Ilwaco to catch the Chinook bite in the
ocean or running flat out across the mudflats to get to the hot bucket on
the tide change for sturgeon. The boat is equipped with all of the
electronics needed for a safe and effective day on the water, including a
Raymarine E120 and E80 Series 48 nautical mile radar, color video plotter
and 3 color digital fish finders. GPS may help keep you in the channel, but
it does not help pick your way though other boats in pea soup fog. Multiple
high-end fish finder units are employed to insure that Captain Toby can
always tell what is happening below the water, even while preparing bait
while trolling on autopilot. A spacious cabin area provides shelter from
inclement weather, should a front be blowing through off of the ocean while
you are fishing. This combination of equipment insures you the most
comfortable fishing adventure on the water today.
