Had a super trip out long leader fishing and crabbing. Would absolutely recommend Travis and Zach they kept us on fish and the service throughout the day was phenomenal.

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.

It was my first time out on a boat in the ocean, and we had an incredible experience! We caught crab, plenty of rockfish, and even a cod — I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

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!
