    King salmon • 4 adults

    From the moment the first line hit the water, the fish were biting. We reached our limits with ease, and the entire experience was incredible. Rodney and Kallen(sp?) were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept us engaged throughout the trip. They made the day both fun and memorable, and thanks to their expertise, we limited out with ease. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fantastic day on the water!

    A very good-tempered captain.

    Deep water Rock fish Lingcod • 4 adults

    I’ve been on many Rockfish tours, and this captain is by far the one with the best temperament. The first mate is also incredibly nice. If you’re a beginner, you don't have to worry about doing anything wrong because they will help you and teach you very patiently. That makes a big difference.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the kind review! We really appreciate it.
