I have nothing but good things to say! Joe was fantastic from start to finish! He was communicating with my wife and I months before the charter all the way until the morning of the charter. Answered every question we had making this part of our trip very stress free! We had a great day on the water catching our limit of 10 hatchery raised coho salmon for the boat and releasing many wild fish. With only a few salmon left to finish our limit Joe used his local knowledge and went out of his way to give us a discovery channel experience! Birds diving, porpoises jumping, whales breaching, sea lions swirling and the best of all fish being caught! Joe was very accommodating to all of our needs in the boat and on shore. Once caught, our fish were immediately taken care of and put on ice for the best fillet quality. Our fish were cleaned and bagged for us on shore for a very reasonable price. Joe even shared some of his favorite recipes with us and the best ways to take care of our meat! Book this trip now before it is too late! You will not regret it. We will be booking again!

Captain Joe is great!  He stayed in touch with us before our trip and made sure we were well prepared.  Some of us were worried about being seasick and he was very accomodating.  We are completely new to any kind of fishing and we had a great time, caught a bunch of fish, and the only thing better than the fishing was the company - if we are ever back in the Newport area we’ll for sure go fishing again with Captain Joe.

I highly recommend investing your time and money to enjoy a full day of fishing with Good Time Charlie. Joe’s intelligence and respect to the ocean is out of this world. Not one dull moment even when my nephews got sea sick and needed a nap, he still attended to them and made sure everything was ok then woke em up to reel in the fish. Gracias Senor for you hospitality and cant wait to fish with you again in the future.🙏🏽

Captain Joe was great - fun, laid back, supportive, educational, and just an all around great guy. We had a great time out on the water, caught some fish, and saw some whales! What more could you ask for?!

We had a group of 6 from 8 to 80. All different experience levels and we had a blast.  My kiddo caught his first seconds into our first drift. Then was sea sick most of the rest of the trip. Joe did an amazing job making sure lines were in the water and the catch was being expertly taken care of all while making sure the little guy was as comfortable as possible.
