GREAT Experience w/Captain Ken!

6 Hour Trip – Salmon Shared5 adults

Fishing with Captain Ken was a great way to celebrate my brother's 75th birthday. Spending 6+ hours on the Willamette River trolling for those elusive salmon made for a very good day. Ken's knowledge of the rivers, tides, fish behaviors, current reports, gear, lures, baits, etc, etc, all gave us the confidence that if there were fish to be caught, we'd have caught them. Unfortunately, the fish eluded us all day. Disappointed? Sure, we had to get an alternate option for dinner, but that was the standard for virtually all of the other charters that day. Ken's charter had the vessel and gear needed for the day, he provided everything we needed to fish well (including the gear and step-by-step instructions), and we all left more knowledgeable after spending the day with him.

Response from Captain

Thank you again for sharing the Birthday trip. Great time on the water. The fish will participate more next trip! Hope to see you September.

    Great Experience!

    6 Hour Trip – Salmon Shared • 3 adults

    Four of us went on the trip: 2 adults, 1 teen, and a 9 year old. We've never specifically went salmon fishing (but fished before) so new to us all. Captain Ken was engaging, informative, and patient with us all with our missteps. He explained what the plan was, how the day would look, and made sure we had practice. When they weren't biting, he wasn't afraid to change it up and try something new. We lucked out an caught our limit, but even if we hadn’t, we would've found the trip worth it!! It just so happens we were able to bring loads of salmon home, too. If you want to go a charter where they actually care about fishing and enjoy what they do, I absolutely recommend Ken and 2Net

    Great time!

    6 Hour Trip - Salmon Private • 3 adults

    I went with brother and stepdad to celebrate his 80th bday. We had a great time and had so many opportunities to get fish in the boat. I also caught my first chinook! Ken has helpful equipment for finding fish and used every tool at his disposal, including communicating with other fisherman. We ended up with two of our allowed 3 fish at the end of the day and great memories! I recommend Ken and would go fishing with him again!

    Enjoyed Sturgeon Fishing with Ken!

    5 Hour Trip – Sturgeon Shared • 6 adults

    We had a great time with Ken in Fishing for Sturgeon (Catch and Release). Ken was really knowledgeable. We caught 3 fishes (42", 38" and 52") and had another 5 nibbles on the lines. We fished in a couple of spots based on the Fishfinder monitor Ken had. In the last hour, Ken gave us a boat tour of Portland and the shipyard. Ken was highly flexible and had all the gear we needed for the weather (rain pants, jackets). We really enjoyed talking with Ken!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you. I enjoyef fishing with your family. Glad we found a few fish. Take care🎣

    If you don’t want to get burned, fish with Ken Burns 🔥 he’ll ignite the angler in all of us!

    5 Hour Trip - Sturgeon Private trip • 2 adults

    My teenage daughter and I went hoping to catch Sturgeon…. Once we found the honey hole everything we were hoping for came to life. Ken is extremely knowledgeable and equally willing to share the ins and outs without making you feel overwhelmed. We caught four that I remember and lost a half dozen more while refining our technique. they were all sizes. From arm length to 4+ feet. I guarantee you’ll leave with a smile

    Reported Catch
    Sturgeon
    Response from Captain

    Thank you for fishing. I understand you preferred to have the top on. Nice sunny morning! Anchor fishing with windy conditions, slow moving current moves the boat and would have impacted our success.

    September fishing trip

    5 Hour Trip – Sturgeon Shared • 2 adults

    We had a great time fishing thanks to Captain Ken Burns. My wife and I both reeled in a lot of sturgeon. He was friendly, knowledgeable and guided us through the "art" of catching sturgeon. It was unlike any other fishing we've done. What a day!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for coming out to fish. That was a lot of fun. Take care!
