We have taken numerous private charter fishing trips along the Atlantic and Pacific coast. Although the captain and crew can’t guarantee you will catch fish I do expect them to know how to use their equipment and at least put us in an area where larger fish are biting. The captain tells us he “doesn’t know how to read his depth finder, that his son knows how to do all of that”. We begin fishing in the inlet harbor what I am initially thinking is for our bait fish which we have done on... More

We arrived at location a little early.  Greeted warmly by staff at the ship store.  We left on time had great detailed instruction.  Great working relationship between captain and first mate.  Great experience wish the review could be a 10 not just the 5 star.  Will definitely be returning for another trip,  hopefully in the fall when the shrimp are running better.

We thought we were going fishing but found out we were going shrimping.  Which was perfectly fine, since we had never done it before.  Had a great time and caught lots of shrimp and crabs.  Of course being rookies, we had to scramble to figure out how to clean them when we got back to the vacation rental, which wasn’t quite set up for it.  All-in-all a great experience capped off by a frenzy of a night.  Was the 3rd time booking with Grandpa and will definitely do so again next trip to...

We started off just outside the Oregon inlet.  After catching 1 blue fin and getting no other bites, we then moved to the sound.  Capt. Russell decided that since nothing was biting that was the way to go.  Once in the sound, we started catching.  Not a lot of keepers, but everybody, including our 4 y/o granddaughter, started catching.  We hit on croakers, spots, grey trout, and blue fin.  It was a great time!  I would highly suggest Capt Russell and Mike of Grandpas Charters to anyone...

We had an excellent time on the Grandpa with captain Russell and first mate Mike..caught well over 30 fish…we had a group of 4 kids and 2 adults and let me tell you captain Russell is awesome..the kids started getting a little green so he made a suggestion to pull up and get in some smoother waters…and it was great..the kids absolutely loved it!!! We will be back next year guaranteed!!!
