Your next trip in Oregon would not be complete without booking a trip with Jayson Watson Fishing Guide Service. Captain Jayson himself will be looking after you and ensuring you have a great day out on the water with him. With 40 years of fishing experience and many tournaments under his belt, he knows the top places to take you for some great sized fish.

His 23' boat is the perfect size for groups of 4. Brand new in 2019, this boat is comfortable and spacious. There are deluxe armchairs for anglers, so once the lines are set you can sit down and relax until the fish bites. This is great for the elderly and children alike.

The day will be spent trolling for Chinook and Coho Salmon in the bay and mouth of Rogue River between July to September. Chinook is usually between 15–40 pounds. Coho fish are usually 6–15 pounds and give a great fight. Limits apply for both fish – the captain will keep you informed of current regulations.

Capt. Jayson is great with kids and novices. He is patient and will happily explain the ropes of fishing to you. Trolling is perfect for everyone – there's nothing better than sitting back with a cold drink waiting for a monster to bite!

You'll need to bring along a few bits. You must have a fishing license. If your trip is in the morning, buy the license before the day. If you're fishing the afternoon trip, the license can be bought at the marina on the day.

You'll need to bring a small cooler of food and drinks, too. Wear light clothing in layers.

Included in the price are top of the line Lamiglas 8'8" rods and Tekota 500 reels with counters. Your captain will fillet your catch after the trip.

    Day trip with Captain Jayson. September 27,2022

    Up to 6-Hour Trip - 1 or 2 Guests on September 27, 2022 • 4 adults

    Jayson is a great guide! we drove from Colorado to go salmon fishing, we were not disappointed! We enjoyed the day out on the river listening to Jaysons stories! Jayson was very attentive, always making sure we had fresh bait for our best opportunity to catch fish. We caught fish!! Hope we added to his future story telling. 😀 we would recommend his services! We will be back! Thank you Jayson for a memorable day! Theresa, Matt, John(Papa) and Justin👍👍👍🎣 September 27,2022

    Full day Fishing trip!!

    Up to 6-Hour Trip - 4 Guests on August 17, 2021 • 3 adults

    My parents and I wanted to go fishing to get out of the house before summer ended, and this was the Perfect Trip! ! Jayson was super fun to be around and awesome to talk to! We were out for 8.5 hours, and I ended up catching 2 huge salmon!! 😎 He was super patient and nice instructing me with filleting the fish too! If I could give 10 stars I would, this was an absolute blast, thank you so much for the amazing time Jayson, we’d love to make this a yearly outing!

    We had a wonderful day fishing with Jayson. All around super nice guy. He was very attentive and kept us baited and in the water the whole time. My dad got to pull in this beautiful fish which made the adventure even better. He knows where the fish are and will put you into them.

    Excellent experience fishing

    Up to 6-Hour Trip - 4 Guests on September 7, 2021 • 3 adults

    Jason was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. He let us do as much or as little as we wanted to do while fishing, We caught so many fish that we lost count. I will highly recommend these guys.

    Full day with Captain Jayson

    Up to 6-Hour Trip - 1 or 2 Guests on July 10, 2019 • 2 adults

    Salmon hasn’t come into the Rogue River Bay yet, so we went bottom fishing about 2 1/2 miles out in the Pacific. We caught about 26 Black Sea Bass & Ling Cod. Had a blast. I chose to release them back to the sea. Jayson Watson is an excellent fishing guide & I had an excellent trip.
