Fantastic Trip!
5 Hour Trip-AM on July 3, 20264 adults

Our fishing trip with Jesse was fantastic! He knows what he is doing and is a wonderful host. Makes you feel comfortable on his boat right away. We caught a lot of salmon and our friends from Taiwan had an amazing time! I highly recommend him if you are looking for a great experience.

Great family trip with Rugged Coast Charters
4 Hour Special- AM on May 26, 20262 adults2 children

We had a fantastic morning with Captain Jesse, the 4 of us all caught Salmon and my 9 year old son caught a monster Ling Cod! Jesse put us straight onto the fish and I was onto 12lb Chinook within 25 minutes of leaving the pontoon! Jesse was very knowledgeable and it was great fun for all the family being on the boat with lots of wildlife to see. The booking was super smooth with Jesse and his team really helpful and responsive with our queries.
