Knowledgeable and Personable
8 Hour Trip (AM) on July 12, 20262 adults

The crew has remarkable experience. They are personable, responsible, and professional. They were able to hook every fish that bit. They have quite an arsenal of line types, lures, temperature sensors, GPS, and quite a few lines out at once. They really made sure they equipped themselves with a strong arsenal to give you what you paid for what they can control. The boat has an interior you can rest as well as a restroom on board. The interior has a sofa too. The only issue is that the cabin smelled a bit like cigarettes. It was a great experience and I would sign up again if I am going fishing again.

Highly recommend fishing with AA Phoenix Fishing Charters
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 29, 20263 adults

Captains Steven and Forest were great. They are a great team and made sure we had a great fishing trip. Captain Steven recommended we leave at 4 since the Salmon were biting best early in the morning. He was right. We caught our first Salmon by 4:30 and it didnt stop until we caught our limit. Captain Forest was amazing helping my 2 sons and I with rigging all of the lines and racing back and forth handing us the poles when there was a fish on. Thank you Captain Steven and Forrest for such a memorable fishing trip. We can't wait to do it again.

Excellent Family Outing !!!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 3, 20265 adults

From the time we arrived for our trip, Captain Steven John and First Mate Forrest were extremely welcoming and friendly. The knowledge and professionalism of the crew was reflected in the timely manner they got us to the area we were going to fish. It was shortly into the trip that the first fish was caught, and it continued for the remainder of our excursion. It is a trip that the family will always remember and we cannot thank Captain Steven John and First Mate Forrest for a wonderful successful day.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Great experience!
5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 20, 20266 adults

It was a super rough, windy day, so the captain had us leave a little early. First mate Forrest was excellent! We 3 ladies on the boat caught all the fish. They cleaned and bagged them up nicely for us. We were barely in the cabin, happy to stay out and watch Forrest work. We had a fantastic time!

Very fun fishing trip!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 25, 20265 adults

We took the 5am 6 hr. charter. The morning was super foggy but the navigation system kept Captain Stephen-John on course. With the help and hard work of Captain Forrest we caught steelhead, rainbows and a couple real nice king salmons. The boat was comfortable and well equipped.
