Meet Captain Curtis Bunney
Curtis Bunney was born and raised in Astoria, Oregon.
His passion for fishing started back before he was old enough to get his driver’s license.
As a young child, growing up less than a quarter-mile from the Columbia River, it was common practice for Curtis to walk to his boat at the dock so he could go fishing.
His childhood passion has manifested into a full-blown obsession. He gets just as excited now as he did the first day he hauled a fish into his boat.
Curtis very well may be the single most qualified person on earth to show you an exciting and safe fishing trip on the Columbia River in Astoria.
