Sharing the Joy of Fishing.
Creating Memories That Last.
We offer guided salmon fishing trips at Buoy 10 — completely free — to serve families in our church community
Our Mission
Fishing has always been a special time for our family — time to slow down, connect, laugh, and create memories.
For several years, we’ve talked about finding a way to give back. We believe the Lord placed this opportunity on our hearts: to use what we already have — a boat, experience, and a love for fishing — to bless others.
Our goal is simple:
To create an opportunity for dads and their sons or daughters to spend intentional time together — building memories, strengthening relationships, and enjoying the blessing of bringing salmon home.
A Little Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Andrey.
Fishing has been a meaningful part of my life for years — especially at Buoy 10 in Astoria. What started as annual trips with family and friends has grown into something deeper on my heart.
I believe time spent outdoors — especially between a dad and his kids — is powerful. My hope is to use what God has given me to create opportunities for families to connect, unplug, and build lasting memories on the water.
This is simply a way to give back.
What to Expect
Trips take place during the month of August for the Buoy 10 salmon season in Astoria, Oregon.
We provide the boat, fishing gear, bait, tackle, and guidance for the trip. Guests are responsible for obtaining proper licensing, weather-appropriate clothing, and any personal food or beverages.
Trips typically begin early in the morning and last approximately 6–8 hours, depending on fishing conditions and the day’s schedule.
This experience is intended to be relaxed, family-oriented, and hands-on — giving guests the opportunity to enjoy time on the water, learn about the fishing process, and create meaningful memories together.
