Shirley Catch Guide Service Customer Reviews

Zach was an incredible captain on our trip. Unfortunately, we had to cut it short after about two hours because my girlfriend wasn’t feeling well, but in that short time we still landed four giant King Salmon. Zach was extremely kind and patient, showing us how to set up and fish...

I had an awesome opportunity to fish with Zach, and everything was flawless. His boat and gear are top-notch, and he knows exactly where to go and how to get fish on the line. By the end of the day, we landed four fish and brought home a beautiful Coho and Sockeye.

Our family of four, including our two teenage sons, had a wonderful morning on the water and landed a salmon. Rowdy made the perfect first mate and added to the fun!

It was a slower day on the water, but celebrating my 40th birthday with my brother made it all worth it. Zach was fantastic—he communicated clearly, kept in touch with other guides about colors and techniques, and always adjusted our spots before others even left the area. I land...

Captain Shirley had us hooked into our first salmon within 20 minutes, and we limited out just a few hours later. His knowledge and skill are unmatched, and I’ll definitely be booking another trip soon.

This was my son’s first time fishing for big fish, and it couldn’t have gone better. The guide was professional, easygoing, and extremely knowledgeable—everything we could have hoped for.

Zack and his golden lab, Rowdy, made a great team. The bite was a little slow, but Zack still put us on a fish and made the day enjoyable.

Our guide went above and beyond to put us on the fish. He was patient, polite, and an all-around great guy—even when we showed up late after getting lost.

There were plenty of guides to choose from, but we're thrilled we went with Zach! He maintained constant communication, addressing all our questions beforehand. My husband and I had an incredible time on his boat, and by 8AM, we had our maximum limit of chinook salmon from the Co...

Captain Zachary proved to be an excellent guide, getting us on the fish from the get-go. We managed to reach our daily limit in no time. I highly recommend this fishing trip.

I selected Shirley Catch Guide Service for my birthday fishing trip, and Zach certainly lived up to the expectations. We had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable morning of fishing. Zach was not only informative but also taught me a great deal about salmon fishing in Nehalem Bay,...

We had an amazing time on the water with Captain Zack. Even if we hadn't managed to reel in those three massive salmon, it still would have been an enjoyable trip. The vibes were chill throughout the day, except for the exciting moments of landing our catch. Captain Zack's deep k...

Zach took my son and me out for a King Salmon fishing trip, and he had one on the line before he even finished explaining things to my nine-year-old. Here's what my son had to say: "Catching fish was cool, but I liked the boat the best."

He's a super cool dude. I like to enjoy my fishing trip and there's so many guides who are, plain and simple, dicks. If you wanna have fun catching fish, look no further.
