    GREAT Boat & Crew

    6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 12, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Today we went with Tyler and Chase. Both very experienced. Easy going and very enjoyable company. We had a hard time getting the bite started, as everyone else did even though there was plenty of fish on the screen. Chase never gave up! Busted his ass , changed baits, tryed every trick in his arsonal of fishing gear. The boat was like a tackle store!! We finally got the bite. 2 kings and 1 lake trout and 2 got off. My bad. Overall very satisfied. Great outfit with 3 boats and alot of communication between boats to find the bite. I wont be using anyone else cause hell, why would I.!

    Always a winning hand with Black Jack Charters

    6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 20, 2024 • 6 adults

    I have booked Black Jack now four times, never disappointed. Bryan the Captain is always looking for the best place to fish and the best lure, always adapting to make sure we go home with a full cooler. My daughter is special needs, he is great with all the the teenagers, instructing them proper technique with a sense of humour. We would not go anywhere else. Today we ended up with 8 King Salmon and 2 Trout. We have nicknamed him the Salmon Whisperer. His co-captain was just as wonderful!! Thank you again Black Jack Charters.

They didn’t waste anytime.We fished hard and caught them.We went home with a cooler full of fish and truck load of smiles. Highly recommend and will be booking again.
