My son said it was the best day of his life
8 Hour Trip – Smallmouth Bass on July 10, 20261 adult1 child

Captain Kyle planned and executed the perfect fishing day for my 10-yr-old son. We were on a gorgeous stretch of the Umpqua, on a very clean, comfortable boat. Kyle was unfailingly patient with us novice anglers. He shared his knowledge of knot tying, how to choose lures and bait, how to read the river, etc and didn't cuss once despite getting stuck by spines multiple times whilst throwing back the fifty or so fish we caught. We were on top of schools of small mouth bass for almost 8 hours straight and had a grand time fighting and reeling in fish. We also saw a variety of birds of prey and some furry denizens of the river as we cruised between fishing holes. "Ten out of ten, would recommend" as the kids say:)

Solid first charter
Rock fish ling cod on July 16, 20261 adult1 child

Josh was great, got us yo a hot spot and had us catching rockfish minutes into getting out to the schools. Hit limits wothin an hour or so of being out and he offered to let my son troll for salmon on the way back. Checked some crab pots and ended up with 20 crab and 9+lb of rockfish. Wiild certainly hit his charter again.

Reported catch:
Rockfish
