Always an amazing time with John! Very knowledgeable and professional. He always makes it a priority to make sure you’re having a blast. He puts you on the fish and you never leave empty handed. Would definitely recommend to book a charter with him! 10/10

July 1, 2025

Captain John is a fishing expert! We, as a group of four, managed to reel in ten Sturgeon under his guidance. Without a doubt, we'll be planning more fishing trips with him in the future.

July 1, 2025

Had an amazing day in the Bay! Landed 7 Sturgeon!!! Looking forward to heading out again soon.

July 1, 2025

John and his deckhand Johnny were fantastic. Their personalities were top-notch, and they kept us entertained with constant jokes. We all reached our limits on Dungeness, and they seamlessly transitioned us to rockfish. They went the extra mile to ensure we had an amazing time and our freezers were filled. I've already recommended them to others and wanted to make sure to leave a positive review!

July 1, 2025

Captain John and First Mate Johnny were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to our group. We came back exhausted but having reached our limits! The action was non-stop. I can't praise this trip enough. If you're considering it, book a trip—you won't regret it.
