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 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.

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!

As this was my first fishing trip I was evidently a little worried about the whole process, however the whole experience went above and beyond all my expectations. Great experience, great captain, great ship, great fishing, great communication. I recommend to anybody who is looking to book a charter !
