We had a great time on our outing. Captain Drew was awesome to work with and did a great job with my son (age 8) who had never done this kind of fishing before.
We’re from Maine and like most anglers, have always dreamed of salmon fishing in Alaska. We got an early start, on the water at 5:00 a.m., but it was well worth it. The salmon were more aggressive early but bit consistently all morning long. We ended up putting 9 nice fish in the boat. Captain Drew was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around. He is very focused in putting his anglers on the fish. I highly recommend Lost Boys Charters.
We had a great morning of fishing ! Our guide Chris was able to get us into a prime spot and got us fishing right away after a quick demonstration of the methods. He gave us tips throughout the morning and kept us going. We ended with a full limit of sockeye for three people. None of us had done this type of fishing before and we all enjoyed. My wife was the best in the group landing several larger fish. Overall it was a great experience!
Most operators are happy to call it quits early; but when we limited out before or time ran out, we got to go on a boat ride to the lake - where we saw Bears! Of course the salmon were running and the bears came out on their own accord, but Chris was a solid guide. He was patient with our teenaged sons, knowleadgable about the region, processes, and nature, operated with safety in mind, and had a lovely demeanor. I only wish he wasn't booked tomorrow!
We had the best time with Drew, he knew all of the best places and made sure we were fully prepared to have the best day. We maxed out our limits and had fun cruising and checking out local wild life. I would recommend Drew and Lost Boys to everyone!
Chris guided us to great action under tough conditions. caught trout, pink and Sockeye salmon. He was a patient and effective teacher to us newbie salmon anglers. Drew was a good communicator and provided timely responses. Would highly recommend Lost Boys!
