Pirate Charters

Both Jim and Darren were great and spent the time to get us on some good fish! We are already looking at booking another trip with them next month. Highly recommended.

Half Day Afternoon Trip with Captain Jim
Half Day Trip (PM) Weekend on August 19, 2022
Our group had a great time with Captain Jim and his first mate Nate. We caught two fish within an hour of getting into the water. Everyone caught a huge salmon including a "Coho of a lifetime" per Captain Jim. His 30+ years of fishing chartering knowledge and experience was clearly evident, especially his homemade lures, which helped us catch many of our fish. On top of that, one of his friends gave us some of his homemade smoked trout that was absolutely delicious. Just the cherry on top of an already awesome day.

Fishing with Captain Jim and First Mate Ryan
Half Day Trip (AM) Weekend on September 5, 2022
I’m not an early morning person. But just the view of the sunrise on Captain Jim’s boat was worth getting up for!! The entire charter was enhanced by an exciting morning of fishing and bringing home 10 good sized fish to enjoy throughout the fall! Captain Jim and Ryan worked their tails off to ensure we had a great experience! They knew where the fish were to be found and made sure we got to catch an amount any angler could be proud of. Thank you for a great experience!!
