    Captain Dave and First Mate Quinn were awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly! They made it feel like we've been friends for a long time. The excitement from Capt. Dave every time a fish was on the line made it even more fun. Would definitely recommend these guys if you're looking for a charter!!

    Trevor was super knowledgeable and friendly. It was just a few of us so we got to try a couple spots. We were traveling so we didn’t keep any of the fish we caught but had a great time.

  • ★★★★★
    Absolutely fantastic trip with Shane. He explained everything we needed to know and set expectations before the trip and was easy to find when we got there. Super knowledgable, patient, and fun, his boat was clean and he was extremely efficient. Learned a lot, got on some major trout and salmon action, and had a blast. Looking forward to the next time we can get out there with him!
