Awesome trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 20, 2026 • 4 adults
We had a great time with Captain Jody and Matt who got us on 14 fish including a few massive king salmon and steelhead. It was an incredibly worthwhile trip with a great crew! Highly recommend, we plan to do it again next year!

Fish on !
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 18, 2024 • 3 adults
Got out on the lake with captain Jody after a couple days of the lake being to rough to fish. He put us on fish and nice eaters at that. Had a nice mixed bag of kings and coho. Was first time salmon fishing for my sons on this trip. Captain Jody and first mate Luke did a awesome job instructing kids how to bring them in. Fishing trip was best charter I have ever been on. They know where to go to put you on fish. I will use this charter service in the future. Fish on !

Fishing with Jody
Half Day on May 24, 2024 • 2 adults
We had to cancel the trip on May 24 due to weather so we rescheduled and went today. The captain knows what he s doing. He’s a very nice man and so helpful. If I could have given him more stars I would . If you want a great fishing trip book on chunky monkey with captain Jody. We will use him and his boat again. This was our 49th wedding anniversary and with it being our anniversary he made it even more spectacular. Thank you Captain Jody.
