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.

Half Day Trip March to May on April 21, 20262 adults
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. 🎣

Awesome Day!!
Afternoon half day trip on July 13, 20253 adults2 children
We couldn’t have asked for a better day and a better Captain. Dave was extremely thoughtful and worked with us to create the family fishing experience we were looking for. It’s called fishing, not catching as I had to remind the kids, but Dave did his best to find us fish and get the those hook ups!! 4 hours goes fast, so would recommend the full day trip in the future- but wow- Dave made sure we filled every minute with good vibes and thoughts of big fish. We feasted like kings on Coho, and Rockfish Tacos. Highly recommend a trip with Dave for serious fisherman, families and anyone in between. Thanks Dave!! The Blackmer Family

Highly recommend Bonzai and Dave! It was our first time out fishing in the ocean and despite my dad getting sea sick at first & my mom's limited mobility, Dave went out of his way to make sure we all had a great experience! He helped us reel in fish and gave us really good tips. He worked really hard & you can tell he really wanted us to get our catch on the boat. The boat itself was comfortable with lots of room for 4 of us plus Dave. Dave you were awesome! Thank you again for a great experience!
