    Tim created the perfect experience on our trip. It was a graduation present for my son and it was everything he and I wanted it to be. Tim was fun, incredibly competent at his craft, and interacted with us in a relaxed manner that made for a wonderful day.

    I don't write many reviews, But this Captain is worth taking time to share with others how great and down to earth he is. Not only did he go above and beyond to make my trip great with conversation and put me on fish. But shared his equipment and knowledge with other Captains. Colby not only has the experience but the personality to make your trip rememberable. 5* +
