Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

    Captiain Rich was great. He was personable, made us feel welcome and was so accommodating to one of our group that was new to fishing. He made our time on the water a blast. He knew the sound as well or better than anyone else we have been out with. We all caught our limit and there would have been more if we would have been allowed. If you want to have fun and catch lots of fish he's your go to captain. He has my highest recommendation.

    We six had a great time, catching about 2025 fish and keeping a bunch. Rick was excellent in terms of setting up the rods and the equipment, helping us with getting the fish and keeping the fish and giving us lots of information on the surrounding waterways, fish, migration of whales and all sorts of fun subjects. So the ages of 11 to 76 were very pleased.

    We really enjoyed our trip. The wrong salmon were biting so we weren’t able to keep any of them. So he moved to another spot and we were able to catch flounder. Thank you Captain Dale.
