We had a great time with Ken in Fishing for Sturgeon (Catch and Release). Ken was really knowledgeable. We caught 3 fishes (42”, 38” and 52”) and had another 5 nibbles on the lines. We fished in a couple of spots based on the Fishfinder monitor Ken had. In the last hour, Ken gave us a boat tour of Portland and the shipyard. Ken was highly flexible and had all the gear we needed for the weather (rain pants, jackets). We really enjoyed talking with Ken!

We had an outstanding trip and couldn’t have asked for a better captain. We started the day targeting salmon, but when the bite was slow, he didn’t hesitate to adjust the plan. He switched us over to sturgeon, and before long we were putting fish in the boat.

My teenage daughter and I went hoping to catch Sturgeon…. Once we found the honey hole everything we were hoping for came to life.  Ken is extremely knowledgeable and equally willing to share the ins and outs without making you feel overwhelmed.  We caught four that I remember and lost a half dozen more while refining our technique. they were all sizes. From arm length to 4+ feet.  I guarantee you’ll leave with a smile

Captain Burns was sensational! Communicated throughout the days leading up to the trip and answered every question we had before booking. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He put us right on the fish and even though the bite was fair, the conversation between casts and reeling was incredible. I would absolutely recommend any trip with Captain Burns!

Ken made this trip special from start to finish! We took a private tour with kids and grandparents and had an amazing time! Our 9y/o son has never been on a fishing charter, and by the end of the trip, he was running multiple lines! At the end, Ken even gave us a boat tour of downtown Portland! Highly Recommend Captain Ken!
