Travis and Tom were awesome. Took extra time with our son on his first ocean fishing adventure and made sure everyone had a great time. Our son thought he had a “fish on” about every 30-45 seconds and Tom and Travis never got tired of letting him know what was and wasn’t a fish on the line. They answered all of his (and my questions since I hadn’t been ocean fishing in over 20 years) and were gracious, funny, and kind. Great trip with great people.

Couldn’t say enough good things about Travis/SOA! Made a last minute call to Travis on a Friday afternoon for a river fishing trip that Sunday and he made it happen. Not only was Travis an awesome guy but a great fisherman as well. Was able to catch my first Coho and spent a great day on the river. 10/10!

Went fishing yesterday with SOACGS. Had an awesome time. Caught fish on first drop. Limited out on salmon & crab. Knowledgeable friendly & patient captain. Comfortable ride out on a well maintained & equipped clean boat. Highly recommend
