Captain Anthony was a real down to earth guy who really went the extra mile to help me and my group catch fish. He gave us fair warning that the salmon bite had been tough but we very accommodating to us when we said we’d like to push through and stick with salmon. Anthony really couldn’t have tried harder to get us all in on the action. 5 out of 6 of us had an opportunity to fight a fish on the line but Anthony really did everything he could to try to get that sixth person some action - you could really tell that he wanted everyone to have a great experience. Gear was nice, clean, and well-maintained. One of the absolute best things other than Anthony and Ethan was the size of the boat. We all had plenty of space for a six-pack boat. Everything was clean and organized as well.

In the end, we caught 3 and lost 4 20-25 pounders. To be completely honest, with Anthony giving me a heads up ahead of time that the salmon bite was slow, I was pretty satisfied after catching the first fish but Anthony worked pretty relentlessly to get us hooked up with more.

At the end of the trip, Anthony was kind enough to meticulously fillet and clean our fish - I’m not talking about a lazy cut and rip, but he actually took very good care to make sure our catch was in the best possible condition when he bagged it for us. I can’t stress this enough but if you take advantage of this service, please make sure to tip him well - this dude really goes the extra mile.

We’ll be back for sure and looking forward to hanging out with Anthony and Ethan sometime soon.

Capt Anthony, deck hand Ethan, and our entire day fishing was great. Extremely thoughtful and very focused on ensuring we were enjoying ourselves. High end equipment (Avet reels, hand built rods) attracted me to Help-U-Fish, and I wasn’t disappointed. We caught some nice fish,  but Anthony continued to work hard chasing a limit and making sure we had as much assistance as needed but were free to handle the fight ourselves. Overall,  extremely pleased with a fantastic day and will definitely go out again!

We spent Saturday on a sharking expedition, dedicating our morning to targeting elusive big sharks and the afternoon to targeting leopard sharks. While we came up empty handed on big sharks we did see a whale in the bay as well as several dolphins.

We lit up Leopard sharks in the afternoon, catching seven. They are a blast to catch and are beautiful creatures.

Captain Anthony and Ethan, the deckhand worked hard to find us Sharks, extending our trip when the bite was strong. I think he had as much fun as we did!

Whole day rockcod lingcod. Not an easy day of fishing took most of the day but we finally limited out on rockcod. Few captains would switch out gear and then go for salmon on the way back. GREAT DAY!!!
Thanks Captain Anthony!!!

When out for a full day of halibut fishing with my 2 boys. Fished hard all day and then some. Anthony put us in several spots around the bay. Caught dozens of undersized Halibut and a couple of keepers, enough to bring home about 10 lbs. of filets. Anthony and Steve did a solid job of teaching myself and my boys the correct approach to landing Halibut (not the same as your basic trout).

Good day on the water, would go again.
