An absolutely amazing day fishing for sailfish with Haysen and his mate!!!! I landed 4 sailfish ,one on my 12 wt fly rod!!!! Hooked into 2 others on my fly rod , but lost them!!! They gave me incredible "coaching" to help me land a sailfish on a fly rod, my first on fly rod. 3 others landed on rod and reel, with other mutiple hookups!!!!! An amazing "mind blowing" day on the water with him and mate!!! First Class Operation !! Thanks!!!!!! One very happy fisherman from Alaska!!!
Haysen was awesome! I wanted to fish certain techniques for an uncommon species that most captains won't even allow you to do. Haysen was at our service perfectly! He is very pleasant and professional. Not the typical drunken arrogant jackass you find in this price range. I highly recommend him! His boat and equipment were well above average for this price range. You're not going to find a better value than this. The waters in this area are full of a variety of species and lots of action.
We really enjoyed our day of fishing with Captain Haysen. We caught our bait, and he took us to some good fishing spots. We met our limit of fish to bring back - snapper and mackeral, and had fun catching a jack crevalle. The boat was the perfect size for two of us and Haysen. He took great care of us, and is an excellent captain and fisherman. He was dedicated to us catching some fish, and it was very appreciated. Next time we want to stock our freezer, we'll call him.
Captain Haysen is the man! I wanted to catch roosterfish and tuna. Captain Haysen put us on roosters right away. We caught them all morning. Then decided to chase Big Yellowfin. Captain would not give up. He found a school of monsters. We hooked into a 100 lb Yellowfin which I fought for 40 minutes. What a battle! If you are coming to this area, Captain Haysen is the guy to put you on fish! He knows fishing and where to find them.
thanks for coming it was a great day
We had a fantastic trip Captain Haysen was great! He knew the spots to catch fish and he delivered. The tackle was in great shape and he worked the entire time to catch fish. His boat handeling skills were top notch. Great service and a great experience.

Your captain
36 years old been fishing since I was 17 on a couple charters boats as I grow up the passion has been even bigger, once you live by the sea there is no explanation about living it. This is my 1st season fishing as self-employed on my boat Not To Bad has been hard but not impossible trying to do my best to satisfy all the needs and desires of clients and i will be more than happy to have you on board to make good memories and have some great times on the water.
