Anthony EllRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing trip
5 Hour Trip – June Special on June 30, 2024 • 6 adultsI have hired at least a dozen salmon charters, but this was by far the best experience I have had. Captain Jeff and his second were fantastic. From the time we got to the dock in the morning to the moment we got back, everything was outstanding. The communication before and after the trip was great. We caught plenty of fish, but even if we had not caught anything, I would recommend this trip.
Alita Kelly5.0VerifiedIncredible Fish Charter
5 Hour Trip – June Special on June 15, 2024 • 6 adultsWe had a great time on this experience for fathers day. The boat was the perfect size for our family of 5. The lake was beautiful and our captain was attentive and we caught some beautiful lake trout. All of our questions were answered in a very kind, thorough way and we had a ton of fun. Would definitely go again!
Keely Sanders5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Captain Jeff
5 Hour Trip on July 15, 2023 • 6 adultsWe took the half day morning trip with Captain Jeff. Jeff is so personable and knowledgeable of the waters/fish/area. It was a great time - we caught a few different kinds of fish; it was a slow day for bites - but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jeff works hard to get his patrons on fish and make it a good trip. We will definitely be back and booking with Jeff! I couldn’t recommend the experience enough.

4 Hour Trip – Weekday Special on June 10, 2024 • 4 adultsWe started out to deeper water and the lake was a bit choppy, it was fun riding big waves, but not great fishing condition from what we were told. Water temps and weather didn’t make for a lot of fish around, but we. Caught 2 lake trout! One as we were reeling all the poles in for the night. Thank you Captain Jeff and helper Brody for a great time!! We would love to do it again sometime!

Ritchie Jimenez5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with Jeff
5 Hour Trip on July 3, 2021 • 6 adults • 1 childWe got off to a rough start but started to pick up shortly after. Unfortunately one of are friends got a little sea sick but managed to hang on through the day. All and all it was very fun and did catch some really good size fish and had an amazing time doing so and would definitely do it again.
