Best fishing charter ever!
Portland Spring/Summer Salmon on July 24, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child
Such an awesome day… The weather was perfect. The boat was super clean and organized. The gear provided was top notch. Captain Jordan is extremely knowledgeable, and welcoming. We started off the day with a monster strike as soon as the lures hit the water. It was all day super fun action. Jordan put us on the fish even when none of the other boats were catching. Our smallest boy caught the biggest fish of the day! And it was a monster! Thank you Capt Jordan for an awesome day of fishing and memories to last a lifetime.

Hey Greg, thank you so much for the review. I had a fantastic time with your crew. I was so pumped watching the kids reel in salmon. What great memories for a father and sons fishing trip. Thanks so spending the day with me.

Fishing with Jordan
Portland Spring/Summer Salmon on June 16, 2025 • 2 adults
Jordan was the perfect guide. We had 3 people on board, one who had fished with Jordan several times before, my son who had not experienced a guided trip before and myself who has been on many guided trips. Jordan put us on the fish. We caught 3 beautiful springers and landed 2. We all had a ball. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a great trip.

Hey Phil, thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. I had a blast with you and your son. Thanks for spending the day fishing with me and traveling so far to get here. I'm happy both you and your son got to take home a couple of beautiful chinook salmon. Looking forward to fishing with you guys in the future.
Thanks

Full day, started a bit slow but picked up, and later Jordan worked hard to find and keep us on fish until we caught some.
