The best outing I have ever had

VERIFIED

Capt Scott took myself and my oldest two out Salmon fishing for king/pink salmon on 3 hr trip. He was prompt in responding to questions during booking and helped us find some amazing lodging for our stay. Once at the boat he quickly got us to the spot and maximized our time out. He was knowledgable of the area, answering my kids many questions and helping them once a fish was one to ensure they landed the fish. We caught around 13 fish in a little over 2 hours on station and kept seven including two kings with one over 30 lbs. One thing I though came through was how much Capt Scott loves to catch salmon. I don't know who was more excited when we got our big king, he or I. I plan on coming back and the only captain I am calling is Capt Scott.

We have a wonderful trip out with Colby and Isa. It was my husband and I with our 3 kids under 13. We have some experience fishing but Colby and Isa were so patient and helpful with our 7 & 9 year old and made sure the experience was top notch for them. Colby set us up in the honey hole and we didn’t have to move to catch a mess of salmon to send home! The biggest fish out there broke my line so no proof, maybe we will catch him next time! 😉😂. This fishing 🎣 day has been a highlight of the trip for sure! Thanks for a great day!
