My kids loved doing this.  It was absolutely worth it.  They caught a lot of crab and enjoyed eating it for a few days after.

We took our three kids (ages 7, 4, and 3) on a crabbing trip with Dave. Our kids, and us, had the most incredible time! We felt safe, taken care of, and in the middle of the action the whole entire time. Dave took such great care of us the whole trip. Our littlest two kids got cold after the first hour of the the trip and Dave was so accommodating to drop us off to warm them up in the car and head back out.
We have been on fishing excursions in the past and the guide/captains we have been with are not very friendly. This was not the case with Dave. He was SO friendly. Our kids loved him and we all felt so comfortable and were able to learn so much and enjoy ourselves completely. We walked away with 36 giant crabs that we cant wait to enjoy on Thanksgiving. We give him and this trip the highest reccomendation possible!

Excellent trip. David was fantastic and personable with us. Even with rough seas and plenty of rain, he made the trip awesome. Can’t wait to book with him again. We’ve been looking for a reliable and friendly guide and found him. We’ll be booking again for fall chinook. Thanks David!!!!!

If you are looking for a top notch guide, David is your man. He is amazing!!! Great to our entire family. We had a trip of a lifetime making unforgettable memories.

We booked a full day of Salmon fishing with our guide, Captain David Peterson. He took us to the Yaquina River, a few miles up from Newport. Although we didn’t catch a thing, David has the heart of a teacher and was awesome teaching us the whole day! Next time!
