The trip was great—we caught Chinook! The captain had a nice boat, quality gear, and came well prepared to work efficiently and keep lines in the water. When a fish was on, he would start barking orders, so he may not be for the thin-skinned who aren’t ready to work, but he does a great job of keeping things from descending into chaos, which I appreciated.
He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we learned a lot from him. When lines got tangled or a fish was on, he worked quickly and gave clear instructions. He helped us save a couple of fish that we probably would have lost otherwise. He knows the area, knows his stuff, and his sonar is legit! He clearly wasn’t just following the other boats—he knew where to find the fish.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a productive and well-run fishing trip.
