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.

Al’s a pro. The boat was clean and prepared for the trip. Al knew where to go and let us participate as much as we wanted to. We’ve fished before so it was nice to be supported without feeling like he was taking over. We caught our limit - bonus! We didn’t even have to clean them! Thanks, Al!

Phenomenal trip! Maxed out limit on salmon, caught Dungeness crab, saw seals, sea lions, bald eagles and porpoises. Capt. Al was a fantastic guide who found us the sweet spots, got us back safely and cleaned the fish to boot. Will definitely be back next year!

Captain Al was great and the boat was comfortable and well equipped. It was fun finding my sea legs while reeling in the salmon. Although the salmon were being a bit shy with post-rain weather, Al made sure to try and try again to get *the big one*. We still caught 8 decently sized salmon and, more importantly, hooked us into returning.
