Bring a jacket because it is a little bit cold and just be patient. You will catch fish.

Our captain was Grayson and on the way out he asked what we wanted to catch, rather than just doing what he was “paid” to do. After we told him, he changed his plan and took us to another location to fish. He did an excellent job!

I weigh 110lbs and don't fish very much. Biggest fish I got before this charter was a small mouth bass and I was able to handle the cod that I did catch. My arms are sore but we'll worth it.

Just have a great time, and don't be disappointed if you don't catch anything right away. Listen to Gabriel and follow his directions...my 17 year old had his first time fishing and took 3 hours to get his first catch, than caught 3 more in the next hour!!

During trip prep ask for captain's advice about paying the extra for king salmon stamps on the Alaska fishing licenses. We didn't get the stamps (it wasn't prime king season) but nonetheless hooked a monster king that got away at the last second but had we landed it it would have been heartbreaking to not be able to keep it.

It was a beautiful town full and breathtaking scenery during the drive to get there. Everything is very well marked leaving very little room for error. Plenty of fish to go around as well!

Excellent experience! Great boat and Captain Noah knew exactly where to go to make sure everyone got their fish. The music, vibe and attitude on the boat was professional and fun. Parker was also terrific. His skills with the gear and the fish were impressive! Perfect day.

Make sure you have the appropriate gear(clothes, etc. ). Also be sure to have motion sickness stuff ready. We didn’t need it but it helps to have it.

Check on the Alaskan fishing rule. It seems that the laws change at times. You need to understand that non-residents can not catch the same number as residents.

Make sure you dress in layers, especially if your starting at 5 a.m. It might not seem that cold when you walk out your front door, but it is much cooler along the river. I was glad I took gloves, just wished I would have worn some Under Armour to keep my legs warmer.

The day started out raining, don't cancel because of rain. We had a great day. We stayed warm. Then the sun came out unexpectedly and turned into the best day of our trip!

Visit The Salty Dawg and have a drink! Be sure to eat a meal or two on the town. The food is fantastic. It’s hard to leave this town.

The kenai is full of fishing guides. Read reviews on the guides but remember there are people who are going to give bad reviews. Guides are people to if the try hard that's really all you can ask. And pay attention to trip duration and try to get the most bang for your buck.
