The day was unpredictable with the swell reports. We met captain Colby at the office. He said it was going to be an in and out trip with the conditions presented. We took an an hour boat ride to the Halibut grounds. Had our limits within an Hour. My wife and I felt very safe with captain Colby. He is very knowledgeable and a wonderful person. Definitely recommend captain Colby!
Thanks Wally! We're thrilled you enjoyed your trip despite the weather!
Capt. Colby was exceptional!! He was knowledgeable, punctual and courteous. Explained everything in great detail. He kept the boat clean throughout the trip. He had us on fish all the time. No time to rest. We were always baited up and weights down. A great trip to remember! Book with confidence.
Thanks Thomas! were thrilled you enjoyed your trip with captain colby!

Thank you Chad!
What a wonderful trip. We caught lots of fish including Halibut weighing 100pounds. The captain-Colby Kaczor-was amazing. He was attentive but not overbearing and was able to help with getting the big ones (and small ones) in the boat with great expertise. He was also very personable and made me feel at ease.
Hi Jeffery thank you for joining us on a fishing trip! We are thrilled you had such a great experience with Colby!

Hi Joan, thanks for fishing with us!
