Captain Mike is a true professional and showed us (all amateur fishers) an awesome experience on the lake. We ended up departing at a different time than scheduled at his suggestion and caught a ton of coho salmon as a result. We all really trust his insight and had a great time, he's a fun person to be around. Thank you!
Thanks Jon. Hope to see you guys again.
The lake was calm, the captain was wonderful and explained everything we were doing in details we could all understand. Also the fish cooperated! We will be back soon. Great trip for this Grandpa, son in laws, and grandsons
Thank you Shawn! Hope to see yoy again.

Boat was well equipped. Captain and Mate were highly functional and welcoming. Put us on the fish, cleaned fish well. I have no regrets and look forward to the chance to go out with them again.
Thank you karen. You guys were a lot of fun. Hope to see you again.

Mike put us on fish almost immediately. we had a ball and caught our limit. I even caught a 29.5" Coho to qualify for a master Angler certificate. I highly recommend Mike and His crew.
Thank you Patrick. Hopefully next time we can get you on kings.
Fishing was a bit slow but Captain Mike worked hard to put us on the fish. From lake trout to coho salmon, everyone caught fish. Cant wsit to book another trip!
Thank you Terry. You guys were great.
