My experience on these waters dates back to when I was 7 years old and I began fishing with my father. I began working as a first mate on charter boats when I was 13 years old. With over 30 years of experience in the charter industry and multiple generations, fishing is not only in our blood, it's also our passion.

    All we could have asked for!!!

    3/4 Day Trip – Weekday (PM) 1-6 PAX • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Shawn and First mate Mason were absolutely great and professional. The XL boat was perfect for 6 and was extreamly clean and well maintained(we liked that). Shawn put us on the fish and Mason helped the 4 boys land them on the boat. They made the day an unforgettable one. The trip was everything we ask for. Limited out and made two birthday boys extremely happy. We will be back! Thanks Capt Shawn. keep up the great work! We will be passing the information on to anyone who askes about fishing the lake.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks again for the business. It was awesome watching the boys on the deck reeling in all the fish.

    3/4 Day Trip – Weekend (PM) • 6 adults

    We are a multi generational multi racial group and all of us had a wonderful time. The captain and staff made all of us feel comfortable. Can't wait to do this again. It's best for anyone they will do everything possible to make you feel welcome/safe/welcome.

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Response from Captain

    It was a fantastic time watching them reel in all the fish. Enjoy all the fish and you have enough to try multiple ways of cooking them. Thanks again for the business.
