    Curtis was a professional, hard working, and knowledgeable guide. His boat and equipment were clean, comfortable, and state of the art. Curtis takes a lot of pride in his boat and it shows! We never lost a fish due to old lines or poor rigging. We caught tons of fish and he was patient enough to work with my 11 year old daughter helping her land her first sturgeon. We will recommend First Pass to everyone we know!

    I’ve been fishing with Captain Curtis on many occasions, and every trip has been outstanding. If you’re looking for the best Astoria fishing charters or Buoy 10 fishing charters, I highly recommend him. His attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to safety set him apart from other guides. Whether you’re targeting Chinook salmon during the famous Buoy 10 fishery or enjoying a day of Columbia River salmon fishing near Astoria, Captain Curtis works hard to put clients on fish while creating a safe and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of Astoria salmon fishing and the Columbia River is second to none. I look forward to fishing with him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for an Oregon fishing charter.

    I had an outstanding experience salmon fishing out of Astoria with first pass. From start to finish, everything was professional, organized, and focused on putting us on fish. The captain was extremely knowledgeable about the local waters and worked hard all day to keep us on the fish. If you’re looking for a top-notch Buoy 10 salmon fishing experience, I highly recommend booking a trip. The captain provided great instruction, making the trip enjoyable for both experienced anglers and beginners. We hooked multiple salmon and learned a lot along the way.

    We had an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Curtis! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made our whole family feel welcome and excited to fish. Curtis was super knowledgeable, patient with the kids, and knew exactly where to find the fish. We caught a few big ones that gave us a real fight! He kept the vibe fun, safe, and relaxed the entire trip. If you're looking for a family-friendly fishing adventure, Captain Curtis is the one to book. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be back!
