Every person in our family caught their halibut and plenty of cod. Captain A. Ramirez made the trip a complete success in both the fishing and the fun time had by all. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He made us feel like family or close friends rather than a business transaction. It seemed we were always on the reel, laughing or a combination of the two. Would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.
Chris you are the man! Thanks for the great review, I appreciate you taking the time to leave it. You guys were a blast on the boat, come back anytime so we can keep the fun times going!
Nice Halibut and several other good eating spices. Captain Aaron provides good communication about the trip and how the whole fishing process works. Also, very helpful with our granddaughter. Would book the charter again.
Thanks for the great review Mike! glad you all enjoyed your charter and have a few fish to show for your efforts. Would love to have you all back anytime!
If there was a 10 star rating Aaron would receive one!
Brian I appreciate you taking the time to leave a great review! See you next season!
Aaron was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time on the boat with him and we were able to catch some fish.
