Jose and their crew joined us for an early morning departure this fall, heading out under cloudy skies that promised some weather later in the day. The water conditions put us in the Regulated Navigation Area CFR 165.1325, which gave us solid structure to work with. We launched with Fassiottos Guide Service ready to target some quality salmon.

We focused our efforts on bottom fishing and casting with lures, mixing in some live bait fishing to cover all our bases. Jose and their crew connected with both Chinook Salmon and Coho Salmon throughout the morning. The regulated navigation area worked perfectly for our approach, giving us the depth changes and current breaks that salmon love to use as ambush points. The combination of techniques kept the action steady until that late afternoon rain rolled in just like the forecast called for.

The cloudy conditions actually worked in our favor for most of the day, keeping the fish active and willing to bite. Both the Chinook and Coho were responding well to our lure presentations, and the live bait fishing filled in the gaps when the casting slowed down. We wrapped up the trip with solid salmon in the box and everyone satisfied with the day's work.

If you're looking to get into some quality salmon fishing, our Salmon and Crab Combo trips with Fassiottos Guide Service offer the perfect opportunity to target these fish in productive waters. The regulated navigation areas provide consistent structure and fish-holding habitat that makes for reliable action. We run these combination trips throughout the season, using proven techniques like bottom fishing, lure casting, and live bait presentations to put you on both Chinook and Coho salmon. Whether you're after the hard-fighting Chinook or the acrobatic Coho, our local knowledge of these waters and seasonal patterns gives you the best shot at success. Book your salmon adventure with us and experience the quality fishing that keeps our customers coming back year after year.

Well that is a wrap to my 2024 Fall Salmon season. So long Tillamook. Until next year. I would like to thank all of my clients who joined me on the water and made this season one to remember. A lot of fish and a lot of smiles. And a huge shoutout to my amazing wife who handled me being gone pretty much every weekend for the last 3 months even though it wasn’t easy. Thank you for your support. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Fall Chinook and Coho Salmon Trips on Oregon’s Coast – Book Now Before It’s Full!

What a fantastic day on the water we had with Darren and their crew in Tillamook, Oregon! The weather was perfect—partly cloudy skies with a light breeze that made for a comfortable day out on the river. The water conditions were great, and we were excited to get the lines in and see what we could find.

We started the day off trolling, using a mix of heavy and light tackle, and it wasn't long before we had our first Chinook Salmon on the line. Darren fought that fish hard, working the rod and keeping steady pressure until we were able to bring it into the boat. The salmon put up a great fight, jumping and peeling off line, but Darren kept their cool and landed a beautiful specimen. We continued to troll and drift fish, cycling through different techniques, and managed to hook into a few more Chinook over the course of the day.

The fishing was consistent, and the company was great. We shared stories, talked tactics, and enjoyed being out on the water together. That's what makes these Tillamook salmon trips so special—the opportunity to not only chase big, hard-fighting fish but to do it alongside people who share the same passion. Whether we were landing a fish or just taking in the scenery, there was a great energy on the boat all day long.

If you're looking to experience world-class salmon fishing in Tillamook, Oregon, I highly recommend booking a full-day trip with Fassiottos Guide Service. From the moment you step onboard, you'll be in good hands, chasing Chinook on the best waters around. We'll make sure you have all the gear and know-how to hook into some trophy fish, and you'll get to enjoy it all alongside a great group of fellow anglers. So what are you waiting for? Book your Tillamook salmon adventure today and let's get you out on the water!

Embark on an exhilarating Tillamook salmon fishing odyssey, reeling in trophy Chinook amid stunning river scenery and camaraderie with fellow anglers - a true Pacific Northwest adventure awaits.
