Hookin It Up Guide Service
Want to hook some world-famous fish and make some brand new angling buddies at the same time? Hookin It Up Guide Service is ready and waiting for you. Captain Desmond Endquist has one goal in mind: to introduce you to the best that the waters of the Pacific NW have to offer. Whether you want to chase Salmon species, battle prehistoric Sturgeon, or have an awesome family day out, your captain and his team will give it their all to get you on fish!
Capt. Desmond is a lifelong fisherman who was raised in a family of anglers. When it comes to the waters of the Pacific NW, he has over 35 years of experience exploring them, and hooking the many species that live here. He loves using his wealth of knowledge to introduce guests to the ample angling opportunities on offer here, as well as teaching newbies his favorite local tips and tricks. For Capt. Desmond, the reward at the end of each trip isn’t just the fish you’ll reel in, but the smile on your face.
You’ll be exploring these waters from Capt. Desmond’s 23’ Alumaweld aluminum fishing vessel. She can accommodate up to 6 guests, making her the perfect option for a family day out, or single anglers who want to meet up to 5 new friends. She’s decked out with GPS, fishfinder, and life jackets in a variety of sizes – Capt. Desmond recommends bringing your own vests for little ones, however, to provide maximum comfort.
Ridgefield is known for being home to a variety of world-famous fish, including Salmon species such as huge Chinook, hard-fighting Coho, and tasty Sockeye, as well as prehistoric Sturgeon, Steelhead, and plenty more. Capt. Desmond offers his guests the chance to target all of these brag-worthy species, and if you’re a brand new angler, he’ll happily show you how to hook (and reel in!) your dream catch.
Your trip includes top-notch rods and reels, bait, and tackle. Grab a fishing license and your favorite snacks, and come aboard Hookin It Up Guide Service to see the best that Pacific NW has to offer!
