Meet Captain Zachary Shirley
Experience the Fun: Oregon Charter Fishing Now!
Shirley Catch Guide Service in Portland is led by Captain Zachary Shirley, a lifelong local angler with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest fishing community. Growing up in a fishing family, Zach spent countless days on Oregon’s rivers and coastal waters, learning how seasons, tides, and conditions affect the bite.
Today, Captain Zach brings that experience to every trip, specializing in salmon, sturgeon, crab, and rainbow trout. From the waters around Portland to the coastal fisheries near Warrenton, he knows how to read the conditions and adjust techniques to give anglers the best chance at success.
Guests can expect a guide who is friendly, patient, and focused on making the day enjoyable for everyone—whether you’re brand new to fishing or have years of experience. Captain Zach is always happy to share tips, explain techniques, and help create a relaxed, memorable day on the water.
About The Boat
Your day on the water takes place aboard a comfortable and reliable 26-foot Alumaweld, designed for both stability and space so everyone can enjoy the ride. With room for up to six anglers, it’s perfect for families, friends, or small groups looking to make great memories on the water together.
The boat is fully equipped with quality rods, reels, and all the tackle you’ll need, so you can simply show up ready to fish and have fun. Any legal catches are yours to keep, making the experience even more rewarding.
While Oregon fishing licenses are not included, we’re happy to help guide you through getting the proper permits before your trip so everything is ready for a smooth day on the water.
Come relax, enjoy the scenery, and get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure!
