Prospector's Fishing Adventures 

Capt Lyle and his wife Stephanie were fantastic!! Super nice people and went above and beyond to help us catch Halibut. Seas were a bit rough but it didn’t stop Capt Lyle!! We were one fish shy of limiting out and if the seas weren’t so rough I’m sure Capt Lyle would have stayed out to get that last fish. If your are looking for a guided trip out of Newport with just your family or friends, Capt Lyle and Stephanie are super great people to be with out on the water. They will also process your catch!! We are already planning on booking another trip and it won’t get here soon enough!!

This was our first time to do anything like this.  lila was a great communicator from the start including answering questions before we even officially booked. He was ready for us at the docks. We went out and had our limit by 8:30 AM. When we got back in,  he cleaned the kitchen and had it ready for us shortly after. Would absolutely recommend Lyle to anyone, especially if this is your first time. 

Captain Lyle was great! Called to make sure we were all ready and answer any questions we had the night before and was ready for us with everything we needed for the morning of fishing! We all limited out and even in rough seas had a wonderful trip! He is highly experienced with a calm demeanor that makes everyone feel comfortable and confident on the boat.

I took my 2 boys rock fishing and we had a great experience with Captain Lyle. The Prospect is a really nice boat and the Captain maintained it very well. We all caught so many fish that we limited out in an hour and a half. I highly recommend anyone wanting to fish to use his service

capt Kyle was grear. boat and gear top notch for ocean charter. lots of fish caught and no wasted time getting to fishing spot. lots better than the large party boats

Captain Lyle was a delight to fish with. He was very kind and patience with our four kids ages 12 to 4 years old! We had a blast reeling in rockfish and limited out!

The group of 5 of us all limited out nice and quick. He put us directly on the fish and got 3 different species of rockfish. Will be booking again very soon

We had a great time with Lyle! We will book another trip with him next time we are in Newport.

Captain Lyle and his wife Stephanie were wonderful hosts on their boat! They informed us of all the requirements on board (no bananas allowed!) upon arrival. The weather was perfect, so the ride to/from the fishing hole was a pleasant one, but not without a bit of excitement. The captain knew the area well and ensured we all reached our limit, plus caught a canary rockfish and some others. Cpt. Lyle and Stephanie hung around upon arriving at the dock, helped fill out catch tags, and ensured that our fish were cleaned, packaged, and ready to go before we left. 10/10, no notes. If anyone wants to know how to run a fishing trip, study Cpt. Lyle.

I took my son and my nephews to fish for black rockfish and crab. We limited out on black rock fish within 1.5 hours of fishing! Crabbing took longer and was a slower day but was still fun. Lyle’s wife/deckhand was very good with my 10 year old boy and the other kids! My little boy always has dozens of questions and she was very patient, knowledgeable, and nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this charter! It was well priced for the experience, a lot of fun, organized, clean, and a great time!
