Crabbing
8 Hour Trip – BUOY 10 Salmon on October 30, 20212 adults

We had the best time with Captain Bill! He was fun and funny! We caught some delicious crab. The whole experience was fun. The boat was a great size and we had all the proper gear, safety gear. We got drenched due to the windy turbulent waters but were prepared with rain gear. I highly recommend this experience with Capt Bill!

Bill is an extremely personable guy, him and his friend Bill made it a very enjoyable experience. I took my girlfriend and daughter along and both had a great time. I couldn't have picked a better guy and hope to do it again in the summer.
