Captain Gabe is the most experienced & patient Captain you could pick. He got us on the fish early & kept them coming, even when were there many boats to contend with on the Lake the day we went! This was our 4th trip with Captain Gabe & every trip has been exceptional. We highly recommend him if you’re looking to fill your freezer and have a great time while doing it!
Capt Gabe worked hard, never stopped trying to get us fish on the lines. No first mate on board to help him out. Got plenty of fish, salmon & Lake Trout over 60lbs of filets. Our 2nd morning of fishing got canceled due to the weather making the lake too hazardous to go out. Would have been great to get back on the water two days in a row with Capt Gabe.
We had some rough weather, but it didn’t stop us from having an amazing trip. Our son caught his very first King Salmon, which made the day unforgettable. Captain Gabe and Nick were outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to keep us on fish despite the conditions. We ended up having a great time and creating memories that will last a lifetime. 10/10 experience, and we’ll definitely be booking another trip this fall. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for the most memorable fishing trip, book one with Elsie K Charters. Cpt. Gabe is awesome with over 30 years of experience. We limited out on Lake Trout, caught 5 Kings and 1 Coho; which was the first of the season! I would HIGHLY recommend fishing with Cpt. Gabe and will do so again for any future trips. Thank you for making my son's 22nd Birthday perfect!!
Captain Gabe took me, my wife, and two kids out (9 and 6). What an awesome experience. When the salmon cooled down and were not cooperating he quickly switched to trout and we were at our limit in no time. He clearly knows what he is doing, was great with the kids, and has a nice and spacious boat. Would highly recommend. We will be booking again!
