My family had the most epic chartered fishing trip ever. Captain Alfonso was very patient and informative to ensure we had a good time and would be successful catching fish. We caught our limit of huge Chinook salmon within 2 hours, including a 79cm beast that just made the size limit cutoff! Afterwards, I asked if my kids could reel in some fish and he took us to another spot to look for Coho salmon and rockfish. My 9 year old son reeled in two enormous rockfish and was absolutely pumped.
What impressed me the most about this trip was how professional and experienced Captain Alfonso was. I was a bit nervous about his young age but he was able to multi-task remarkably as a single person. He monitored the fish finder, adjusted the depth of the lures frequently, watched the rods for the bite, set the hooks on the salmon, coached me through when to let the salmon run and when to reel, and ensured the boat was always a safe distance away from other fishing boats. Other fishing guides on the water kept noticing that we were the only ones catching fish and that is because Alfonso was working his tail off to catch fish.
Thank you Alfonso for the epic trip and for our first salmon!
