This trip was fantastic! We targeted both steelhead and crab and succeeded in catching both. The boat was spotless, the crew was informative, and the captain’s expertise shone through every aspect of our two-day charter.

The salmon weren’t biting for anyone, but Jason took us right to some massive sturgeon, and we were catching and releasing them non-stop. An incredible trip!
