Great day with Jeff and my boys
Full Day Trip on April 7, 20261 adult2 children

I brought two of my young boys out from Alberta hoping to take home a fish or two. We were so busy catching salmon that we had to keep releasing them in order to stay under our limit. We pulled out some crab on the way back to top off the cooler. The boat was top notch and very clean. Jeff was a great with kids and must know a thing or two about fishing based on our sucess! It is a day the boys will never forget and the rest of the family has fish to eat for a long time.

Amazing day on the water
Half Day Trip on April 18, 20261 adult1 child

captain Jeff was fantastic. He was on time, his boat was clean and his equipment was top notch. The fish werent biting at first but Captain Jeff pulled out all the stops to ensure my fishing obsessed son landed his first, second and third largest fish ever. Easily a top 5 day in my kids life. Thanks Jeff!

Well taken care of!
Half Day Trip - 6:30 AM on September 13, 20252 adults3 children

Unfortunately, Captain Jeff had boat trouble prior to our booked trip. However, he set us up with another boat/guide and our trip still happened! Toast was a great Captain, on a great boat! We had a great time. Unfortunately, our targeted species (Halibut) weren't cooperating this time, but we each had a chance to pull up and release some Dog Fish who were more interested in our bait! That's fishing!

Boomer Hooked 2 Salman in 5 Minutes
Half Day Trip - 6:30 AM on September 6, 20253 adults

Boomer was an excellent guide and we had a lot of fun on our charter with him. Within 5 minutes we each caught a salmon, and we learned a lot about fishing techniques and regulations based on his vast experience. We got lucky and saw a pod of orcas and dolphins on our excursion which was a nice bonus. It was a fun experience that we'd totally recommend to anyone wanting to experience a taste of Pacific fishing.
