Joe showed us a good time on the water and got us on the fish. Joe had great communications prior to the trip and was simultaneously professional and laid back during the trip, making him a pleasure to fish with. No stress, just catching some nice lings and rock fish. He catered well to the experienced and inexperienced anglers in our crew. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the good review! fun times out. look forward to having yall back someday. 🤙
Oceans conditions were not as good as hoped for, but we still caught several ling cod and limited on rock fish. Captain Joe did an awesome job teaching and encouraging the kids and adults. The boat was clean and tidy. He had all the equipment and tackle to keep us fishing. Definitely going to do it again when we’re back in the Oregon.
appreciate the kind review Legrand. Wish the ocean was a little more gentle early on. But i thought we did very well in the less than ideal conditions early on and really got it going once our drift slowed a little late in morning. 10 lingcod was high boat in the fleet nearshore (including the big charters!). thanks again!!
Joe was great very good at what he does Great with kids and first time ocean fisherman Can’t wait till next time
thanks jake. good fishing with you and your kids. hope to see yall again soon.
Top noch equipment, very knowledgeable, always taking care of us from start till the fish were cleaned and bagged. Great personality.
thanks! good times today.
Captain Joe is great! He stayed in touch with us before our trip and made sure we were well prepared. Some of us were worried about being seasick and he was very accomodating. We are completely new to any kind of fishing and we had a great time, caught a bunch of fish, and the only thing better than the fishing was the company - if we are ever back in the Newport area we’ll for sure go fishing again with Captain Joe.
thanks!! good times today. happy new year!

He believes, 'the ocean humbles, teaches, challenges, and rewards...sometimes all at the same time!' He has spent his entire life on the water, not only fishing, but kayaking, snorkeling, racing sailboats, and more.
