alrhough we wete hoping to bring home more fish we had a great day. lots of fish caught. 1 big enough to bring home and also a feast of crab. highlight of the day was an eagle came down and grabbed a red snapper we had to throw back into the water. what a site!! captain Al was a great host!
thanks Allison for your review. I had good morning with you guys. I was glad we could catch your son a nice King salmon for his 13th birthday. That was cool. You guys have a good rest of the summer and thanks again tight lines and happy faces. Al
Capt Al came down ill, but set us up with his pal Capt Jesse on the Sea Leggs. This was one of my best fishing trips of all time, and I fish quite a bit at home. I had my 3 boys with me, ages 10, 9, and 6, for a winter salmon trip. started at 33 degrees, but we dressed warm and the 23 Grady kept the wind at bay. the weather was perfect and Capt Jesse had us on fish within 10 minutes. his positivity was great and we ended up catching our limit in no time. We saw a bald eagle, humpback whales, and school of porpoises. all in all, a perfect day on the water. thank you again Captain Al for setting us up and thanks to Capt Jesse for taking us out. a trip my boys and I will always remember. I've been waiting to do the trip for over 10 years, we had the best day for it. looking forward to next time with Capts. Al and Jesse. great trip for kids, good learning experience. oh, and the dungeonous crab was so good. glad we snagged a few of those too.
Hi Salvatore I was glad you guys had a good time with Jesse he's a great captain. It was nice to see you caught lots of fish and crab. Definitely would've been a nice seafood dinner all the best for the new year and thanks again.Al tight lines and happy faces
My family loved our excursion, and Captain Al did wonders to show them a good Canadian salmon fishing day. I requested to get some crabs, and Al did his best to get us some. Thank you so much, we will recommend this trip to our friends and family!
thanks for your review Lily i'm glad you had a good time. it was lots of fun taking you guys out fishing. I'm glad you got some nice seafood to eat. You have a great rest of the summer and thanks again hopefully see you down the road another time, tight lines and happy faces Al
Al put on quite a fishing show for us today. Boat was very comfortable, and we started catching Coho salmon by 07:30 am. There were a lot of throwbacks due to small fish & various BC rules - but we still wound up with 9 total fish and easily 20+ pounds of gorgeous reddish salmon fillets. Including a chunky 14 pounder. Al had a lot of enthusiasm which my 16 and 13 year olds enjoyed - they are avid fishermen and were very satisfied with the equipment used. He even talks American football an expert level. So an easy 5 stars!!!
Hi David, thanks for your review. I had a great time with you guys. I'm glad we caught lots of fish for the boys to play. I hope you enjoy the fresh fish and crab. Good luck with the Atlanta Falcons. That was a big win against Buffalo. That was nice. OK have a safe trip back home. Maybe we'll see you another day. Take care.
If you're looking for a fishing guide, look no further than Captain Al! We had two adults and three kids, and Al made the entire experience easy, fun, and stress-free. He's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and great with kids. Thanks to his expertise, our day on the water was a huge success. Highly recommend Captain Al for an unforgettable fishing trip!
Thanks Derek for your review. That was a fun day. I'm glad the boys had lots of fun catching some nice salmon. hopefully we get to take you guys out again and get into some king salmon cheers, tight lines, and happy faces Al
