Jason, Thank you for the informative review we appreciate it! Typically mid May is great for quantity of smaller salmon and mid August to the beginning of September is the prime season for the mature big King salmon. We hope ti fish with you again soon. Brian

    best time we had in a long time

    7 Hour Trip – Ultimate Weekend (AM) • 6 adults

    We had an amazing trip and caught both King Salmon and Steelhead! The captain and his crew were absolutely amazing—very friendly, talkative, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They did a great job guiding me and my cousins, showing us the proper way to handle the rods and helping us throughout the whole trip. What made it really special was being able to make memories that we’ll never forget, meet new people, and share some great experiences together. Definitely a trip we’ll be talking about for a long time!

    Great First Fishing Trip!!!

    2 Hour–Lighthouse/pier fishing tour • 6 adults • 4 children

    I really had no experience fishing in my life but wanted to see if it's something the kids would enjoy so booked this trip for my wife and 4 kids. It turned out way better than I could have imagined. We booked a 2 hour trip starting at 7 PM and it was a super easy process. We didn't have to bring anything and everything was taken care of by the crew. I let my kids ages 7-13 catch all the fish with the help of the crew. In total we caught 6 fish and lost another 5 that came off the line after reeling but before we could pull them in. All the kids caught at least 1 fish. So, all in all that seemed like pretty good action considering we weren't out there that long. I'd definitely recommend for anyone with kids even if you have zero experience.

    First and great trip!

    5 Hour Fishing Trip – Weekend • 4 adults

    We have never chartered a fishing boat before, we were a little nervous but tried this for the first time because one of us would go back to his country soon. One of his to do list in the US was this, and we did it! We got 3 big King salmon (bigger than 800mm, the biggest was 840mm!) and 1 middle size King salmon, and also 830mm size steel head! (6/21/2026) That was incredible and definitely worth chartering this FishGH! Captain is very kind and nice and also great teacher to tell us how to and what to do at the right timing! It was pretty fun!! Thank you!!

    Great fishing charter!

    5 Hour Fishing Trip – Weekday (AM) • 3 adults

    Had a great experience this past week. We caught a few salmon and had several other hits throughout the trip, which kept things exciting. The crew was knowledgeable, professional, and very personable, making the day enjoyable from start to finish. They were great at sharing their expertise and ensuring everyone had a good time. I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and successful day on the water.

    adventure to say the least

    5 Hour Fishing trip - Weekday (PM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    The wind was strong and the waves were big, but we decided to try it anyways. The captain and first mate rigged the lines and we ended up catching some fish.  Due to our travel plans, we were stuck with only this day and the captain made sure we were safe. Definitley wanna come back in the spring or the fall and fish for something different as the fish change with the seasons and would book with them again.
