Great Trip
8 Hour Trip on June 18, 20262 adults

The captain is a great guy, who got my son, granddaughter, and myself into the action. We started out by catching salmon in the morning, and then in another location shad. He also has some left handed reels for left handed guys like me.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
Shad
