Captain Eugene Gruhlke grew up with salt in his veins and a rod in his hands. Raised near the rugged Pacific shoreline, his passion for fishing began at an early age, inspired by time spent with his father chasing salmon runs and learning the art of crabbing on the Oregon Coast. Over the years, what started as a weekend hobby turned into a lifelong pursuit of mastering the waters and giving others the chance to fall in love with the ocean, just like he did. Eugene’s approachable nature and love for teaching make him not just a captain, but a friend to every guest who steps aboard.

He participates in coastal clean-ups, youth angling events, and advocates for responsible harvesting to protect the Oregon fishery for future generations. He’s also been featured in regional fishing reports for his consistently productive trips and sharp understanding of seasonal fish behavior.
