great trip

Half Day Trip (AM)6 adults

This was our first lake charter outing. We caught a lot of fish and had a great time but my main memory of the trip is how impressed I was at Cpt. Nick's skills as a fisherman. It struck me that a good 90% of the success of a trip like this depends on the captain knowing what they're doing. Nick was in constant motion. He managed to keep a dozen lines in water at all times, was constantly trying new lures/bait, monitoring sonar, and in touch with other boats to learn where fish were biting. You could tell that he REALLY wanted us to catch fish, and we did! I took his business card and will try to book him again. Now it's time to enjoy some fresh salmon on the grill.

    Phenomenal Trip!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Had a great time out this morning. Capt. Nick got of right on the fish and we had to hustle to keep reeling them in as he got them on the line. We reached our 18 before 8am and got our final two awhile later a we chose to head back. Capt. was friendly, fun, and patient with us being inexperienced with this kind f fishing. Would absolutely go again!

    Fantastic trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    First time deepwater fishing for salmon and steelhead. Captain Nick was great! He found us a hot spot; fish were hitting so quickly we limited out in an hour. He was great about giving us pointers on how to fish these species and all the gear worked perfectly. Will definitely be back!

    Memories to last a lifetime!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    What an absolutely awesome experience for a family from St Louis with 2 teenage boys. Captain Nick was on it! He knew exactly where to go, what lures/bait to use and and how deep to set them. He is the BEST. We had multiple lines out and came back with the maximum amount of fish allowed. Large King Salmon (what a fight) and Lake & Steelhead Trout. Perfect day all around! Thanks Nick.

    Captain Nick, put my group on the Chinook with a few Coho mixed in. We were busy catching fish the whole trip and Captain Nick was nonstop taking care of us. Definitely a Do Over

    Boys had a great time!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Nick got right to work making sure we had a great fishing trip. Caught our limit of King, Coho and Steelhead. Nick was patient with the kids and gave them clear instructions that helped them be successful. He worked hard to keep lines in the water and fish in the boat. Had a great time fishing with three middle school age boys.
