    Our group had the BEST TIME EVER with Haystack Fishing!!! I've watched the Dory boats launch from Pacific City before but it's a totally incredible experience to be on one!! Captain Joe and BDE (best deckhand ever) Peyton were amazing!!! This was my first time fishing ever, and both were so helpful and patient with me. Captain Joe was so fun and knowledgeable and played great music while we were out on the water. After we caught a TON of fish and they pulled up the crab pots, we went back to their place where we were welcomed with open arms by Wendy. I felt like I'd known the entire crew for years. They were incredibly friendly and kind. We were sent home with a ton of fish/crab (recipes included) and merch to remember the BEST. DAY. EVER. I can't recommend Haystack Fishing enough. Thank you Haystack Fishing crew for providing the most fun I've had since my wedding day!!! We'll for sure be back!

    Great day of fishing

    What an amazing trip! Captain Joe and Nate were awesome. Very professional and fun guys! I can't wait to go again.

    I just thought I'd update last year's review. My wife went went dory boat fishing 5 times with Captain Joe & 1st mate Nate this summer. She's Hooked ( hook, line & sinker ). If you love to fish, you need to go dory boat fishing at least once. It's quite an experience. With Captain Joe, I call it The Haystack Experience! Everyone goes home with 12 Dungeness crabs ( steamed with sea water ), their limit of rock fish ( bass ) almost always. Can't guarantee because you're going fishing not catching but my wife went 5 times and each time she got loads of rock fish. Also, Lingcod! Delicious! And, she caught 3 salmon this season, one weighed 35 pounds! Also, the better half of the team, Wendy, bags & seals the fish separately and sends you home with delicious recipes. So, you're definitely getting your moneys worth. Just watching the sun come up while on the water is worth the price of admission. My wife is already anxious for the 2021 season.

    Off for a great day of fishing.

    See all

    I was worried that the vibe would change after the new owners took over. I love you Kelly, but have…read moreto admit, the new owners (not so new anymore) are doing a GREAT job! They really are! They updated a few things, moved the office towards the front, and it just seems to be running really well (do I dare say better?). Everything else is great! We rented a boat and went crabbing. Only got 3 crabs this time, but it was still fun. It's just the idea of being out there that makes it so fun! We went on a rainy day so could not enjoy the view from our site since we had to stay inside the trailer. It's okay, it was still a great visit. I look forward to going again! Ha! I have to laugh, you know when you are tying reviews, you can see others to the right. I see that one of my friends wrote a review and pretty much wrote the same as I did in the 1st paragraph. That's funny. July 2025

    We came here with friends for lunch, and we couldn't have asked for a better afternoon! Between the…read moregorgeous weather, the great seafood, and the amazing view, it was a total highlight of our trip. One of the best parts of the experience is that you get to pick out the exact crab you'd like; they are then cooked and cleaned for you right on the spot! They also offer clams to steam and oysters that you can shuck yourself if you're looking for a variety. After selecting your crab, you head inside the shop to pick out chips, canned sodas, or something from their variety of beers and sauces to pair with your meal; just don't forget to grab your butter, garlic, and lemons before paying! They also offer oyster shooters in a souvenir shot glass, though be warned that they are served frozen; you may find yourself finishing your meal with them instead of starting with them by the time they finally thaw. The crab was obviously super fresh; truly, nothing beats eating it fresh out of the pot! We also noticed they have a number of back-in RV sites overlooking the water; that is definitely something we'd consider for a future stay. If you're looking for an authentic, hands-on coastal experience, this is the place to be!
