Amazing expetience overall!
Half Day Trip on June 22, 20264 adults

If you're looking for an unforgettable salmon fishing charter, I can't recommend Bonzai Charters enough. We booked a 4-hour trip with Captain David, and it turned into one of the best fishing experiences I've had in over 20 years of fishing. We landed three large Chinook (spring) salmon, and at times it seemed like we had fish on back-to-back. Captain David was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and worked tirelessly to make sure we had an amazing day on the water. Partway through the trip, my daughter started feeling a bit seasick. Rather than cutting the experience short, Captain David adjusted our plan and worked hard to find fish in the calmer inside waters—an area where the fishing wasn't expected to be nearly as productive. Somehow, he still managed to put us right on the fish and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. His professionalism, experience, and dedication to his guests really stood out. He genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a first-rate experience from start to finish. This may honestly be one the best fishing charter expeincrs I've been on in the last 20 years. We'll definitely be booking with Bonzai Charters again the next time we're in the area. Five stars all the way!

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words. I had an amazing morning with you three as well! I'm so pumped to fish with you in July!! We are going to slay them and fill your freezers!

Best fishing trip ever
Full day Trip on June 4, 20264 adults

У нас був неймовірний досвід риболовлі з капітаном Девідом. Раніше їздив рибічити чавуну у Ріо Пуєло в Чилі і було з чим порівняти.З самого початку він був дуже уважний, професійний і щиро піклувався про те, щоб ми були задоволені та отримали гарні враження від поїздки. Було видно, що він активно шукав найкращі місця і робив усе можливе, щоб ми зловили рибу. Завдяки йому я вперше в житті зловив чавичу і свого першого палтуса. Для мене це був незабутній день. Умови в океані були непрості, але капітан Девід завжди діяв впевнено і безпечно. Він справжній професіонал і дуже добра людина. Дуже сподіваюся повернутися наступного року. ******************** Tuvimos una experiencia increíble de pesca con el Capitán David. Previamente pescaba Chinook en Rio Puelo en Chile y puedo comparar mi experiencia .Desde el principio fue muy atento, profesional y siempre preocupado de que estuviéramos contentos y disfrutando el viaje. Se notaba que buscaba activamente los mejores lugares y que hacía todo lo posible para que pudiéramos pescar. Gracias a él pude cumplir un sueño: pescar mi primer salmón Chinook y también mi primer halibut. Fue un día inolvidable para mí. Las condiciones del mar no eran fáciles, pero el Capitán David siempre nos hizo sentir seguros y bien guiados. Es un gran profesional y una muy buena persona. Espero sinceramente poder volver el próximo año.

Thank you so much Pablo and Patricia! We had some tough weather and some big waves to start but I think we timed it perfect. As soon as we got offshore the wind stopped and the swell came down. Amazing people make the best days fishing! Thanks again and truely hope to see you all again.

Fantastic Trip would 100% do this again!

Just got back from an absolutely incredible fishing trip with David - one for the books. The action was nonstop, and the variety made it even better. Landed some beautiful salmon, pulled up hard-fighting rockfish, and even hooked into a few lingcod that really put up a battle. The conditions were perfect, the scenery was unreal, and every cast felt like it had potential. There's nothing quite like the thrill of reeling in a big catch with the open water all around you. David had great humour with me when I caught the ocean bottom and was so helpful! Already counting down the days until the next trip. 🎣

Best fishing trip ever.
Afternoon half day trip on June 30, 20262 adults

Our experience was A+++ from start to finish. Captain Dave is an amazing Captain who knows his craft, and where the fish are. He was extremely passionate about us catching fish and made sure that we caught as many as we could. Captain Dave not only finds the fish but teaches you how to catch them. My son and I had anincredible time, and he said that it was the best birthday gift ever.

Reported catch:

Great trip, great Captain!!!
Half Day Trip on June 15, 20262 adults

We caught our limit of both chinook and coho. The last 3 in the final 45 minutes. Dave has just the right positive attitude and people skills. He will teach as much as you want to learn and worked hard to put us on the fish and get us back to the dock it time to get back home. I would recommend Dave without reservation. We had a great time. Thanks Dave, hope to go out again soon. Cheers.

Thanks Bill, had a blast with you two as well. And hope to see you again for a Hali day! Enjoy your Salmon!
