Family-Run Guides

About Good Ol’ Boys

Family-run Washington fishing guides. $250 a seat, everyone fishes.


The Story

Capt. Jesse Blevins is a lifelong Pacific Northwest outdoorsman who turned a lifetime on the water into a full-time calling. He started guiding in 2018 and went full-time in 2020 alongside his wife Megan.

From walleye at Kettle Falls to springers on Drano Lake, sockeye up at Brewster, and fall chinook, coho, steelhead and sturgeon down the Columbia Gorge — Jesse chases fish all over Washington and travels statewide to put ’em on ’em.

Every trip runs off the 24′ North River Scout: room for a group of 2 to 6, all the rods, reels, tackle and bait, plus a cooler with ice and life jackets. You bring your Washington fishing license, food and drink, and clothes for the weather — we handle the rest.


The Family

Good Ol’ Boys is family-run through and through. Jesse runs the boat, Megan keeps the whole operation moving, and their daughter Bailey — better known as “Hoggslayer” — is proof the fishing bug runs in the blood.

Booking with us means fishing with a family that treats you like part of theirs. It’s real, it’s relaxed, and it’s built for everyone from first-timers to die-hards. Buckets full and good times guaranteed.


In the Off-Season

Fishing’s a year-round way of life for the Blevins crew. When the rods are stowed for the season, Jesse’s still chasing the outdoors with family — and the boat dog is already counting down to next run. Come spring, we’re back on the water and ready to put you on fish.

Reach Out

Fastest way to lock in a trip is to call or text Capt. Jesse direct. Tell us what you want to chase — salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or walleye — how many folks are coming (2 min, 4–6 max), and roughly when. We’ll get you on the calendar and tell you exactly what to bring.

Every seat is $250. Rods, reels, tackle, bait, cooler and life jackets are on us. You bring your own Washington fishing license, food, drink and weather-ready clothes.


Where We Fish

Good Ol’ Boys is a family-run guide service based in Yakima, WA — there’s no fixed street address or storefront. We run the Columbia River system and travel statewide to wherever the fish are biting, from Kettle Falls walleye to Drano Lake springers to the Gorge for fall Chinook and coho. Once your trip is booked, we’ll send you the exact meet and launch spot for the day.
