Captain Jeffrey and his first mate, Matthew (the Captain’s son) were excellent. They were very professional, friendly, stressed safety, and were a wealth of knowledge. Some people in our party had little to no fishing experience and the crew were very thorough in describing how all the equipment and lures worked, as well describing the “science” of fishing. We only landed 2 out of 5 fish, but there had been many storms recently, including a small craft advisory with very large waves, for 3 days prior to our trip, that likely disrupted the lake and impacted the catch. The cabin boat was in good shape and having a flushing head was a plus. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we plan to book another trip with Captain Jeffrey.

We took two trips with Captain Jeff and first mate Dave in July (my 2nd and 3rd trips with the Captain). They are professional, friendly, entertaining to talk to, and work hard to make the trip fun and successful.

The first trip in mid July had fishing that started a little slow, but radio chatter indicated that everyone was having the same problem. Still, Captain Jeff found us a couple of good spots and the four of us ended up each catching a lake trout and a salmon. The highlight was 2 21# king salmon.

The second trip at the end of July was incredible. Captain knew right where to go, and the 6 of us all limited out (3 fish apiece) well before the end of the charter time. Almost all king salmon with a coho and 2 nice steelhead in the mix. All in all we caught well over 200# of fish and brought home 84# of fillets. The kings included fish of 24, 23, 21, and 18 pounds.

Both trips were a great time, and both groups are hoping to take another trip with Captain Jeff next year!

Jeff and Greg were amazing guides. We had three 13 year olds in our trip who love fishing. We not only ended the day with more fish than we’ll be able to eat but we learned a ton from them about how everything worked. We would highly recommend this experience. It was time and money well spent. Captain Jeff cares greatly about his passengers’ experience and it shows.

They made us feel welcomed and provided a lot of experience which allowed us to catch 3 nice fish. Sent us home with a lot of fish fillets and a great family outing. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a great and memorable experience.We’ll definitely be going again.
