We had a great time with Captain Al. Easy to arrange and accommodating. He had us fishing within 15 minutes of leaving the dock and first fish within 5 minutes of lines in the water. We caught fish consistently all day (no more than 15 minutes between fish). We caught and released coho, chinook, and sockeye.ย He worked well with my 12 and 14 year old sons, and with my older father-in-law. The boat and gear were in great condition. We would happily go again! It was the best day of our trip.
8 hours is an ideal amount of time- wouldnโt want less time on the water so Iโd recommend an 8 hour trip. Lots of room for coolers and some backpacks onboard. Bathroom is standard pump toilet and was perfectly fine.
Captain Cal pointed out seals and killer whales which was above our expectations.ย He knows the fishing area very well and we were able to catch wild, hatchery Chinook and coho salmon, plus rock cod, greenlings and even a sea cucumber. Fun was had by all 4 of usโฆthanks Captain Cal!

Our best fishing charter ever!ย Captain Cal is very professional. We started on time and everything was ready. Captain is very knowledgeable about everything and very patient showing us what to do. He explained everything from currents to fisheries and shared a few entertaining stories. He was generous with the bait fish, refreshing lines when there were only minutes left. We got the impression that he was enjoying himself too. This trip exceeded our expectations by far!
Ended up having to change plans scheduling due to mother nature having windy intentions but overall Iโm really happy with the experience. Jeff W. was our captain and guide and educator for the day and his incredible knowledge,ย experience,ย skill and proficiency added ten-fold to the experience. We brought in a number of fish despite being early in the season. If youโre even thinking about booking,ย just go for itโthis is well worth it!
We spent the morning on Reel Excitement with Captain Al. None of us had ever been on a charter like this before so didnโt know what to expect and we were very happy to have gotten the charter we did. Al was extremely knowledgeable and talented and he communicated everything perfectly. His boat was well maintained with all the top gear to make our morning perfect. We ended up catching 4 big springs and 2 pink salmons. We had so much fun and learned a ton about how salmon fishing works. We cannot speak highly enough about Al and highly recommend his services. Right here! Right now! Shake and bake baby! Thank you Captain Al for such a fun and successful trip.
