Pro-tip – The most popular choice for our charters is the Daily Angling License for $23 (includes crabbing license and harvest tag). You do not need the Columbia River Endorsement unless you are on the Buoy 10 Salmon trip. Another popular choice is the Youth License (Annual license for age 12-17, resident or nonresident, includes fishing, shellfish, and hunting) for $10 – You will need to know the childs SSN and must purchase the Youth License.
