We had a GREAT time with Captain Jeremy today.  Very friendly, personable and worked hard to find us fish.  Loved how he didn’t micromanage any of us even the girl on board-lol.

Jeremy and his mate put in a lot of effort to get you to where the fish are. The boat and all equipment were fantastic. Despite the challenging conditions for fishing that day, we ended up doing very well. We had a great time! Thank you.

Had a fantastic time with Jeremy, catching big salmon. He really knows his stuff! Jeremy took care of everything on the water while we sat back, enjoyed, and reeled them in. Can't wait for the next trip.
