Washington Oregon Salmon Sturgeon Fishing Equipment
24' Custom North River Aluminum Fishing Boat
Sidewinder Charter clients fish from a state
of the art, covered, heated, custom built aluminum 24 foot
North River Deep V
Jet Boat with a 385 h.p. 496 cubic inch big block Chevy engine and a Yamaha 8
hp kicker motor with a TR1 Autopilot for trolling.
This combination of hull and outdrive allows Toby the greatest amount of
flexibility for getting to the fish, whether it is crossing the bar at Tillamook
or Ilwaco to catch the Chinook bite in the ocean or running flat out across the
mudflats to get to the hot bucket on the tide change for sturgeon. The boat is
equipped with all of the electronics needed for a safe and effective day on the
water, including a Raymarine E120 and E80 Series 48 nautical mile radar, color
video plotter and 3 color digital fish finders. GPS may help keep you in the channel, but it does not help pick
your way though
other boats in pea soup fog. Multiple high-end fish finder units are employed to
insure that Captain Toby can always tell what is happening below the water, even
while preparing bait while trolling on autopilot. A spacious cabin area provides
shelter from inclement weather should a front be blowing through off of the
ocean while you are fishing. This combination of equipment insures you the most
comfortable fishing adventure on the water today.

hooks to maximize hooking potential. The fishing tackle utilized makes the most
