Absolutely great time on the water!  Turk knew exactly what to do to get us on some fish.  We caught Cohos that had to be released because of current regulations, but did catch one keeper.  Also, several pinks for the smoker.  On the way out, the Captain dropped a crab trap and he surprised us - and himself - with the number of crabs in the trap.  Though they were numerous, most had to be released although we did get four to take home and they were yummy!  If back in the area, I would DEFINITELY fish with Captain Turkstra again and I highly recommend him and his boat.  Experience is a great plus, and his boat is super nice!

Andrew was very informative and had many great stories to tell! His boat was safe, had a washroom, and was spacious enough for our group of 6. The boat does rocks a lot on the waves in the ocean so take motion sickness medicine if you know you get dizzy in the water. We caught a couple of fish that we could keep, but it was quite exciting too when we weren’t catching fish. You can feel Andrew’s determination and enthusiasm as we’re trying to hunt down different types of salmon in different areas while also looking at the radar. Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely come back!

We had a lot of fun with Captain Andrew! We caught some really nice fish and the captain knew exactly where to find them 😊 There was plenty of space on the boat and Andrew also gave us some information about fish stocks, the surrounding area and history 😊 Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful and memorable family experience with the chartered fishing trip.

Captain Andrew Turkstra was very pleasant and hospitable during our chartered fishing experience.  Captain “Turk” was able to answer all of our family questions about salmon fishing, the coastline and shared stories about fishing trip successes.

During our trip Captain Turk was focused on finding the ideal fishing grounds - our family of 4 all caught beautiful chinook and coho salmon ranging 6-24 lbs!

Highly recommend booking with this company!

I was a bit unsure about fishing a place that is located to close to the city and populated waters. But it worked out prefectly well! Andrew knew all spots, that fish also know 😉 We had lots of bites and a pretty busy 4-hour trip. Unfortunately, we had to release most of them due to the protection regulations (size of chinooks & unmarked cohos). So there is enough fish left for others to try 😉
It was our 2nd trip with Andrew after 4 years and it again was great and remarkable. He is a great guy and fisher.
