What an amazing day on the water with Capt John and first mate Eric. Within a few minutes of the lines being set we had strikes. Missed the first few, but then it was nonstop catching for about an hour and a half after that. We limited out and caught some chunky coho and a small king. The captain and mate knew exactly what to do and put us on a ton of fish. Fun guys to talk to out on the water also. Would highly recommend Capt John

This was a 20 out of 10 fishing charter. The captain personalized the entire trip for my handicapped father and seasick prone wife. He made sure all of us were comfortable from beginning to end. He had us on fish within the first hour and we only missed our limit due to our own noob errors. The mate, Andy, managed 10 lines in the water and handed us poles as soon as they got hit. This is the captain and crew that you want for your next charter.

Thomas, Thank you for the awesome review! We had a great time fishing with you and are happy to hear you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Days with great weather, good company, and a cooler full of fish are hard to beat. We truly appreciate you spending your day on the water with us and taking the time to share your experience. Hopefully this was just the first of many trips together, and we’ll have another opportunity to help you fill the cooler again soon! Thanks... More

Great Fishing Trip with Capt. John and His Awesome Mate!

VERIFIED

Capt. John and his First Mate were a blast to fish with! We had an amazing time out on the water. Our group included a couple of first-timers, and Capt. John was incredibly patient—even after we lost a few catches early on. We ended up maxing out and even had to release the last catch! I would definitely recommend Capt. John and his charter service. Can’t wait to go out again!

Thank you, Troy! We appreciate you and your family spending the morning with us. The offshore bite didn’t cooperate early, but we adjusted the game plan, worked back into shallower water, and found a solid coho bite to finish the day with 14 fish in the box. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we’re glad everyone enjoyed the experience. We look forward to fishing with you again soon!
