Half Day Morning Fishing Charter
on May 24, 2025

Awesome! Best fishing experience ever. We highly recommend James at Maximum Coastal Adventures as he is a true professional guide and knows the waters and where to fish. This was quite evident with us catching our Chinook quota in the first hour. He then took us us to reefs and areas where we where we were able to catch a good size Ling COD, 6 Black Rock fish and the trifecta, a good size Halibut. Thank you James for a wonderful day of fishing.

James Costello created an amazing experience for our family fishing trip and put us on to great fish. We had the best of both worlds, focused professional fish guiding and knowledgeable, friendly tour guiding. He can adapt his coaching skills to beginner and advanced fisherman and helped us catch salmon, lung cod and bottom fish. We were able to see whales, porpoises, sea otters, sea lions, and eagles. We highly recommend fishing with James. 10 out of 10!

Full Day Trip on August 28, 2024

We got the trip, and then some, with our fishing adventure with James at Maximum Coastal Adventures. James is very knowledgeable of the area as well as the fish species. He is/was very attentive to our needs and wishes. We were always on the fish. We had rain and sun, but most importantly, we had fun. James did not make us feel as clients fulfilling a mad fishing trip, but as friends out enjoying a day on the ocean fishing. Along with sightseeing, he also gave us some history of the area and natives. We have already rebooked for our fishing trip next year.
