What a great experience and the birthday gift keeps giving with the amazing Coho Salmon we were able to bring back with us. We celebrated y 40th birthday with Captain Mike He was very knowledgeable and quick on his feet to get us to catch the fish. "Relentless Pursuit", you will know where the boat gets its name when you see Captain Matt stop at no costs to catch the most amount of fish. Thank you Captain Matt!

Terrible trip
6 Hour Weekend Trip 5 to 6 people on June 22, 20195 adults

This was the worst charter fishing trip I've ever been on. Fishing was terrible, the Captain didn't even know we had 2 fish on and dragged one fish until it was dead. In addition, the Captain ruined 6 of his own poles and down righer gear so at the end we were only fishing with 4 poles. I should have demanded money back. Avoid this disaster at all cost.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
Coho Salmon
Lake Trout

Response from Captain

Josh, we're sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience with us. Lake conditions where less than ideal the day of your trip with the fish bite being off with the weather front that passed through, and we know you had high expectations of catching fish even with the conditions. Tangling gear does happen when salmon fishing as the fish can swim into other rods. We still managed to catch 4 fish during your trip, and we did offer a significant discount for a future trip as conditions were less than ideal that day. We always strive to give our clients the best possible trip but we always do say it's fishing, not catching. Best, Captain Matt
