Brad Paltz5.0VerifiedNewBest trip you could ever do!
8 hour trip on September 17, 2026 • 1 adultThis trip was a trip I took for my mom who wanted to do this. She never got the chance to do so before she passed away last month. Captain Art and his deck hand Max were very incredible to me. We hit our limit in a very short time so I know my mother was helping us. It was a perfect morning with a perfect crew. I am going to rebook with the Bucket List year after year!
Neil Grimm5.0VerifiedFun trip!
6 Hour Trip on June 15, 2026 • 5 adultsI think we got somewhat lucky, but we also had great help from the captain and first mate - caught 19 total fish!!!! Quite a few salmon and some large lake trout. First mate Lily did an awesome job landing the fish and keeping the poles in the water for the maximum fishing experience! Outside the fishing, it was a beautiful morning and was awesome even just seeing the sun come up while out on the Lake. Well worth the money!
Ian Junker5.0VerifiedGreat fishing trip!
5 Hour Trip on July 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenWe did the 5 hour trip and caught King Salmon, Coho Salmon and rainbow trout. In total we lost about 3 fish and caught about 16-17 fish, keeping 13. It is worth it to get out an hour early in the morning to get the early bite. Art is a great captain who knows where the fish are.
Jason Feyereisen4.7VerifiedGreat Captian and crew!
5 Hour Trip - 3:00 PM on July 15, 2026 • 4 adultsSecond time with them and even though it was super warm and the wildfire smoke rolled in they did everything they could to find us some fish. We didn't expect much going into it but ended up being a successful evening getting several fish in the boat and unfortunately some to the edge of the boat but not in. Will book again.
David Myers5.0VerifiedFantastic!! Gotta go with Captain Art!!

We had a great time with Bucket List Charters! The water was a little rough, but the boat handled it extremely well and we always felt comfortable. The crew worked hard the entire trip to get us on fish despite the tough conditions. They were especially great with my 12 year old son, helping him reel in his first big King Salmon, which made the trip even more memorable. Great crew, amazing experience and a lot of fun—we’d definitely go again!

Thank you for the great review! Had a great time and hope to see you again.
Our family of 6 had a great time with Captain Art & First Mate Brian. They were both friendly, patient, kind, knowledgeable & so much more. Everyone in our family was able to land a fish & we all had a blast doing it. I would definitely recommend Bucket List Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a great day out on the lake.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! Hope to see you and the family again!
