Half Day Trip (AM)

Capt Al came down ill, but set us up with his pal Capt Jesse on the Sea Leggs. This was one of my best fishing trips of all time, and I fish quite a bit at home. I had my 3 boys with me, ages 10, 9, and 6, for a winter salmon trip. started at 33 degrees, but we dressed warm and the 23 Grady kept the wind at bay. the weather was perfect and Capt Jesse had us on fish within 10 minutes. his positivity was great and we ended up catching our limit in no time. We saw a bald eagle, humpback... More

Al put on quite a fishing show for us today. Boat was very comfortable, and we started catching Coho salmon by 07:30 am. There were a lot of throwbacks due to small fish & various BC rules - but we still wound up with 9 total fish and easily 20+ pounds of gorgeous reddish salmon fillets. Including a chunky 14 pounder. Al had a lot of enthusiasm which my 16 and 13 year olds enjoyed - they are avid fishermen and were very satisfied with the equipment used. He even talks American football an expert... More

Hi David, thanks for your review. I had a great time with you guys. I’m glad we caught lots of fish for the boys to play. I hope you enjoy the fresh fish and crab. Good luck with the Atlanta Falcons. That was a big win against Buffalo. That was nice. OK have a safe trip back home. Maybe we’ll see you another day. Take care.

Captain Tory took me and the wife and kids out this morning and we all caught nice fish. We had a great time out on the water. Tory was very knowledgeable about the waters and was a great host. Would highly recommend going out with these guys if you are in the area and are looking for a great time! Thanks again guys!!!

It was our first time fishing on a charter boat, and we weren’t sure what to expect. Captain Al went above and beyond making this trip special. He was very engaging.and made sure my son was included in the set up and catching of the fish. Completely worth it!
