Dane got us on some fish despite a slow run.  We had a blast and he was gracious about helping my 77 years young mother catch a Sockeye in the most beautiful river you’ve ever seen.  I think this is a group of charters as Dane was not a name i had ever seen before, but either way we had a blast.  Just don’t get confused if you never hear from a Jeff.  Also, read or get a degree in fish biology before your trip to Alaska as the laws for fishing there are as cryptic as a college calculus class.  It’s honestly so complicated for Salmon its like they don’t WANT you to follow the rules, but we booked a boat trip on a Monday without knowing that an “emergency order” meant we couldn’t fish from a boat on Mondays.  (seriously)  I was extremely disappointed to learn this on the day we showed up (a Monday).  Despite all that, Dane put my Mom into some great fitting waders and made the best of the day for us fishing from shore.

Wow!  On the Kenai at daybreak at 5:am.  Calm waters, motoring to special spots.  We did some drifting and trolling with rigs.  Caught a few.  The real magic started happening while wading and casting for Sockeye - and man was that fun!  Guide Daine was incredibly personable and knowledgeable.  We also want to tip or hat to the Charter Operator Jeff, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. Daine had only (3) fishing on his boat, and his boat is wonderfully equipped.

The cool thing about the Kenai, is that the river is peppered with public access and Alaska State Park moorings and comfort stations.  Alaska does fishing right, and Slamming Salmon Guides is in the perfect location to take advantage of all the Kenai has to offer.

We got our fish, however our only regret is that we did not book another day.

We had a great time on our 1/2 day silver trip. Dane is a great guide, very knowledgeable and personable. Put us on the fish and provided the right amount of assistance for each angler. Highly recommend and we will book again with Slammin Salmon when we return. Thanks again Dane!

These are the guides to go with!! Dane is an excellent fisherman and guide! He had us lined up and catching all the way down. His lures made with love did an excellent job getting hooked on with king’s especially with the no bait in affect. 100% book with them!

Captain Jeff and his dog Kiera gave us a super fun fishing trip! We were at the tail end of sockeye season but still managed to catch a good amount of fish. Awesome time, highly recommend!
