Blue Cats are plentiful!!!! Just gotta know where to go ;-)

Big dawg caught the only catch of the da

Sep 15, 2024 Washington

We’re not gonna say it was because someone brought bananas on the boat but they did so… We brought one cat onboard and lost one that bit too hard.

Guys Day Out!!

Aug 17, 2024 Washington

Once we found the sweet spot, they might as well've been jumping in the Grady!! Mornings are certainly the best but the fish are biting all day!!

These Guys Have the TOUCH!!!

Aug 10, 2024 Washington

These guys wanted a day of awesomeness and they wanted to start things off on the water... IT WAS EPIC!!!

Dads ROCK!!!

Aug 3, 2024 Washington

Dad decided to take his boys out fishin' and we kept cool under the shade on the Grady while finding the best spots from which to cast.... THEY CRUSHED IT!!

Weekday Daytime Trips

Absolutely perfect, better than I had hoped. We took my husband fishing for his first time with our 7 year old and 10 month old girls in tow and everyone had so much fun. Captain Tim was the most exceptional host, helped the newbies learn to fish, was patient, kind, and just generally a cool guy to hang out with. We will definitely book our future trips with this company! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to have a great day on the water fishing.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I had an absolute blast with your crew. Ruby was a total legend—officially promoted to First Mate and proudly inducted into the Kids Fishing Club (she might be running the boat next time). Your husband handled his first fishing trip like a champ, and the 10-month-old definitely gets credit for best-dressed on board. Can’t wait to fish with you all again—next time we’ll aim for bigger fish and even bigger laughs! – Captain Tim 🎣😎

We had a 12 year old’s birthday outing with Captain Tim and his mate, Logan. It was an event to remember forever. They made everything so easy, fun and relaxed. And, we caught a number of massive catfish. I’d gladly do it again and again, per my son’s request
