Amazing trip with Captain Jeff — Red Can Charters
If you’re looking for a polished, buttoned-up charter experience, this isn’t it — and that’s exactly what made it great. Captain Jeff reached out early after booking and stayed responsive to every question we had leading up to the trip.
The boat itself has real character — weathered, well-loved, and clearly built for fishing rather than looking pretty at the dock. It’s the kind of vessel that feels like it’s got stories to tell, and it added to the sense that we were in for a real adventure rather than a cookie-cutter tour. Plenty of room for two people to move around comfortably, and the pricing was fantastic for what we got.
Captain Jeff matched the boat’s personality perfectly — down-to-earth, easy-going, and full of character. At one point out on the water, we spotted a strange line of lights moving in perfect formation across the sky and genuinely thought we were witnessing an alien invasion. Turned out to be a string of Starlink satellites — but Jeff played along with the theory for a solid few minutes before letting us in on it, and it turned into one of the best laughs of the trip.
We walked away with about 50 lbs of salmon — an outstanding catch by any measure.
A few tips for anyone booking:
Get your fishing license sorted before the trip.
Bring cash for a donation at Ukee Seafood and Fish Pak — this gets you ice for the boat’s cooler.
Cash tips for the captain are preferred.
Drop your fish at Ukee Seafood Pak afterward — they process by weight, vacuum seal, and flash freeze. Styrofoam coolers are also available for purchase there.
Thanks for a fantastic day on the water, Captain Jeff — and for keeping us safe from the Starlink invasion!

Jeff is a maniacal pirate, who gets the fish to bite with the sheer force of his will. His deck hand and the fish hound “Moose” were professional and made sure we landed as many fish as possible. This trip was a one of a kind experience, with a hearty amount of salmon and cod brought in as well. 10/10. Bring beers!

Captain Jeff has a sixth sense for finding salmon, says he can smell em, I fully believe that! We ended up with 7 cohos, some rock fish and a lingcod and many more that we lost. A few of us got seasick but he had a secret cure for that and he also found us calmer waters. It was a lively day and a memory we will never forget. Thanks Cap

Great trip for my 87 year old father and his boys and grandsons. Can’t wait to go again next year, but probably book 2 days and try for some halibut as well
