Special 5 hours trip for Michael Zhang
Very generous and considerate captain
We had a great fishing trip and a great barbeque at Montrose Harbor right afterwards! The fish were big and delicious. We caught one 25-30 lb king salmon, one steelhead trout, and two lake trout. That's more than enough to feed the six of us for several meals, but the captain said we were unlucky to have caught so few: the typical number at this time of year is closer to 7-14. As our time was running out, I (as the trip organizer) was feeling bad that not all of us got to fight a fish. Without any of us asking for it or even hinting that we wanted it, the captain stayed on the lake for an extra 70 minutes, for free, so that we could all have a go at reeling in a fish. We all deeply appreciated his generosity. The captain also offered a very useful free service that isn't listed on Fishing Booker, but I won't tell you what it is so that you can be as pleasantly surprised as we were. All in all, if you want a great time on the lake with a great captain and first mate, I highly recommend this charter!

4 Hour Trip – Salmon and Trout
Grandson’s first charter
Captain Ernesto and Leo worked hard to put on the fish, it was a tough bite but they kept moving, changing baits, depths and distances. We ended up with 7 in the box and had a great time.

Captain Ernesto was fantastic. He put us on fish the entire trip. His boat and equipment are outstanding. He was great with my grandson. We have taken numerous fishing charters in Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. This trip was the best we ever had. I highly recommend this captain and charter to anyone. Absolutely the best!

Excellent captain (Ernesto) and first mate (Leo). Friendly, helpful and worked hard to make sure we caught fish. Our nine year old grandson caught some large salmon, which were then cleaned, iced and bagged for us. A great day on the lake.
