Half Day Trip (AM)

Captain Al was awesome. Took great care of us. Was a great day to be on the water, weather was perfect. Caught some coho, had some laughs and even saw some seals at the dock afterwards. Would definitely recommend Al to anyone.

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.

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 !
