Andy took our group out 9/5 for a day of albacore fishing…read more Boat and gear was top notch and you could tell Andy takes pride in his outfit. Weather before our trip had been very tough with high winds and rough seas. We lucked out on weather but fish were scattered and not biting at first. Andy used his years of experience and we ended up with a pretty good haul of quality sized albacore. Our group was half experienced anglers and half newbies. Andy and Jim took their time and made sure everyone was comfortable and got the most out of the adventure. There are many things to see and do in and around Garibaldi. We stayed in Rockaway Beach (Andy's on the money recommendation!) and explored from Tillamook up to Brighton and there are still many places and things we want to go back and see. I would highly recommend Andy and Pacific Offshore Charters. Great crew, great boat and spectacular area to fish. Give him a call and tell him Jerry sent you!

He was very communicative and flexible…read more He watched the weather reports to insure we would get out on the perfect day during our visit to the coast. He has a custom made boat with advanced technology. Andy also has decades of experience fishing in that area and we had almost constant action, achieving our limit with very little down time. Andy was also a pleasure to be around and made the experience a blast for my son. We kept our fish and crabs and they are truly delicious and we have lots of fish left over in our freezer. I am very happy with our experience and I would highly recommend Pacific Offshore Charters to anyone looking for a high quality fishing trip off the Oregon coast.

As a local resident, I fished with Curtis and Terry a dozen times this year. These guys are a…read morefriendly, competent, and responsive team. They help inexperienced clients and long-time anglers alike. The level of care is appropriate for each customer. The light tackle trips are nearly always limit fishing with a few to several crabs as well. Deep reef fishing is similarly successful. Salmon and albacore trips are less predictable - it is called fishing, not catching, and the tuna can be pretty demanding. These guys are the best. Terry on the gaff is a pleasure to see. Nearly every gaffed fish nis a clean head shot. I heartily recommend them for any of the trips they run. A crew that will go the distance for everyone on the Alaska Sunrise. Take it to the bank.

First line-drop in a rolling sea combined with unfamiliarity with poles and reel created the inevitable tangle of lines, followed by a verbal tirade of expletives from crew and captain, threatening to take everyone back to shore if we didn't get our s@#t together!!

Everyone on and off the train were smiling! Little kids loved it too. And as the train rolled by slowly, the people in the shops waved at you and you of course, waved back. Mother's with toddlers stood near the tracks just to wave as it went by. The weather was perfect with lots of sun yet just enough wind to keep you cooled off. Perfect! And rockway felt like it was in a time warp... like a normal Rockwell painting on life magazine! Seriously... felt like you were in 1952's!!! Oh and many people also brought their dogs with them! Wonderful! Only wish it was cleaner and they could fully refurbish the cars. Could be a great organised joint volunteer project... for seniors and teens. All and all we loved it and the town!

Interesting reviews for this little town. Three stars because most places are closed on…read moreSunday?!?!? Maybe the hard working folks in this town need a day off? Or they are at church giving thanks? The pile of lumber the karen complained about is apparently long gone. I've been coming here a few times a year for the past 35 years or so and I can't say that I've ever seen her opinion of an eyesore. And creosote is not especially harmful unless you consume it in large quantities. So let's talk about the good in Garibaldi and there is plenty of that here. Not a lot of places to eat but there are a few. With the scamdemic dining options are more limited but I'm sure the shop owners are suffering a lot more than their hungry wannabe patrons. The OCSR runs daily excursion trains daily during summer hours up to Rockaway. They also do very limited availability runs up to Salmonberry if you are lucky enough to get on one of those. The track bed gets increasingly rough as the years go by and that line did go all the way to Banks (and perhaps to Hillsboro if I recall correctly) not that long ago. The marina is great. I don't happen to have a boat but I love going there and talking to the skippers of old wooden vessels and taking photographs. These sailors come from all over and are mostly very friendly and happy to chat with dumb tourists like myself. The only negative, and it's really not a serious negative due to safety reasons but there is often a cop with radar at either end of town. I don't know what the limit is for actually getting a ticket but a small amount of inattention could potentially spoil your whole day. Of course if you run someone over because you are speeding that would spoil their whole day so..... Garibaldi is one of my favorite little towns along 101 and I've run the length of it from the Olympic peninsula to California.

He knows the Nehalem river Chinook run better than anyone else. He took us out in the ocean in 200 feet of water for some great Coho fishing. The best reason to go out with John is that he's a hell of a guy. He has an incredibly distinguished client roster--the who's who of Portland--who keep coming back again and again. In the summer, he takes anyone from 11-year olds fishing with their dads for the first time, business people, or experienced fishermen looking to learn a few things. He fished with us for over 8 hours until we got our fish.

Nehalem Bay is an easy entry level with enough wildlife to keep the "oohs" a coming.

We all agreed we should've booked more trips for the week. Guess we'll just have to visit again. Not that Josh isn't absolutely charming all on his own, but bringing his wiener dog along, made us all have hearts in our eyes. Great Job in helping us create some fantastic memories.
