Highly recommend Bonzai and Dave! It was our first time out fishing in the ocean and despite my dad getting sea sick at first & my mom’s limited mobility, Dave went out of his way to make sure we all had a great experience! He helped us reel in fish and gave us really good tips. He worked really hard & you can tell he really wanted us to get our catch on the boat. The boat itself was comfortable with lots of room for 4 of us plus Dave. Dave you were awesome! Thank you again for... More

10/10 would recommend! We’ve been on another charter in the past, though David’s skills, professionalism, attention to detail, and attitude were miles ahead! For a short 4-hour trip, we caught 2 salmon (one coho, one chinook) a huge ling cod, and several crabs. David was very accommodating to what we wanted to catch, and when the waters got a bit rough, he helped change up the game plan so that everyone was more comfortable. Our family of 4 had a blast and was excited about all the variety... More

We had a great day of fishing with Captain Dave. We caught five fish in a veryshort 4 hour trip. My son had a good long fight with a massive salmon which was surely entertaining. Captain Dave was great with the kids and and thought them great fishing techniques. The scenery was tremendous and watching the bald eagles fish was a definite treat. Captain Dave had a good connection to vacuum seal the fish for transportation, just right up the street. The trip was seemlessly convenient and efficient.... More

Trip was great, and the Captain was very knowledgeable and knew the waters and fishing spots extremely well. Can’t wait to go back and fish again with Captain Dave.

We booked an afternoon trip with Captain David and it was great! He brought us out to jig for Lingcod and Rockfish and we tried trolling too. Even though we only had 4 hours, he even brought us out to try and catch a couple salmon and check his crab traps! His stoke was infectious and he was ON trying to catch us fish. Super fun, would 100% recommend him to others wanting to experience Ukee on the ocean! We left with a bunch of fish and cooked one during sunset at long beach :)
