I had my boys with me who are 6 and 4.  Tom made sure to put the extra effort to make this a memorable trip for all of us.  My boys had a blast and couldn’t wait to get home and eat their fish and crab.  I wasn’t sure how it was going to work with my young kids, but his equipment made it so they could catch fish with ease!  They loved the bumpy boat ride, we even saw some wales.  They’ll be talking about this experience for a long time!

Tom took our family of four out for salmon fishing near the mouth of the Umpqua.  We’re all new to charter fishing.  He was happy to answer our dumb questions and we learned a lot from him.  He really accommodated our interests and he looked after everyone to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.  I wouldn’t hesitate to fish with him again.

If you are not a person who fishes often this trip to fish small mouth bass was enjoyable,  we caught quite a few fish.  We did keep a few to cook however make sure your captain is aware you plan on keeping some.  We told our captain we may want to keep some but he didn’t plan ahead & bring a better knife to filet the fish for us.  He even mentioned it several times that he should have brought better supplies to take care of the fish.  With that being said he could have done better at that...

Tavis and Tyler were knowledgeable and great to go out with! They offer to filet your fish if you’d like and even have the crab boiling set up for afterwards if you don’t want to manage the 12 per person limit that you’ll get!!! Thanks to you both and it was also a pleasure meeting Joey and his family! Stay well!

Great experience!  Even though we had rough water, the captain & crew did an awesome job.  Came home with the limit of crab and more fish than we needed.
