    6 Hour Charter with Captain Werner

    3/4 Day Trip • 6 adults

    My family and I had a blast today with Captain Werner! There were 6 of us on the boat with a wide-range of age and skills and Captain Werner catered to each of us. The weather was beautiful and each of us were able to bring in at least 1 fish. The boat had plenty of room for the 6 of us with a nice area to store our belongings. The boat also has a bathroom which is a huge selling point! The Marina that the boat is located in is very nice with a men’s and women’s restroom so you can wash up at the end of the day. Captain Werner cut our fish when we got back and took as many pictures as we request! I cannot stress this enough, this was a really fun trip and we can’t wait to go again next year! Thank you Captain Werner!

    Reported catch:

    Super enjoyable family time

    3/4 Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Werner made sure the trip was fun and safe. My 2 kids, boy 18, and daughter 15 had a great time fighting several King Salmon and just being on the water. I'm hoping to book again next season. Thank you, Captain Werner!

Getting ready for 2023

Mar 8, 2023 • Sterling
Work has been under way to prepare the boat for what I expect to be a great season. In 2022 we started to see an improvement in the quantity of fish but most importantly a lot of 1&2 year old fish. That along with a mild winter should lead us to a great season. Looking forward to seeing you all this year. Werner

First trip of the 2017 season

Apr 12, 2017 • Sterling
Our first rip of the season is behind us now. The action started a little slow but picked up nicely as the day went on. There were some quality browns caught as well as the first king salmon of the season (a second bit us off near the back of the boat). A few more weeks of this shoreline fishing for browns if you want to get in on the action.
