3 Hour Trip – Evening on June 20, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 childCaptain Glen and his son were friendly, personal, and very hard working. Great communication before trip on weather status and details. It went smoothly from start to finish. All 3 of my grandsons caught fish, with 9 year-old Arizona boy hauling in a huge king. Lifetime memories. I'll be back Mike Grimm

Ross Hoefler5.0Verified6 hour trip with Captain Glen
5 Hour Trip (PM) on July 25, 2020 • 3 adults • 1 childThe worst waves I've ever fished in but the Lucky Bird captain and first mate handled them perfectly. We also managed to land 6 of 6 fish with 3 Coho and 2 Rainbows as keepers. One little Rainbow was released back to grow some more. It would have been interesting to see how many we could have caught with calmer water. We'll definitely be back to fish with them again!
