Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Bob accommodated our group of three on short notice and in challenging fishing conditions. He did an excellent job of putting us on fish, and we were able to leave with some fish for the freezer. Spending several hours on the water with him was enjoyable. I would highly recommend booking a trip with him, and I hope to return.

We had a fantastic time, despite the cold, rain, and slow bite. In total, we only caught four silvers, but it seems to be slow for everyone.

It's hard to express adequately the positive impressions I have of Captain Robert and his exceptional fishing expertise. Right from the start, he had us reeling in fish. My wife and I were truly grateful for the personal attention he devoted to teaching our sons the salmon-catching technique. Remarkably, Captain Robert even had my eldest son mastering the use of a fly rod. Without a doubt, reserving a trip with him would be a decision you won't second-guess. Our experience was undoubtedly among the most outstanding fishing outings we've ever embarked upon.

Our guide Bob was fantastic—friendly, patient, and eager to teach us the best ways to catch salmon. He made the trip fun with great stories, especially about the bananas he kept on the boat. The backdrop of the river and mountains made it even more memorable. It truly felt like living the Alaska dream as a family with such a personable guide. We finished the day with 18 fish and memories my kids and I will cherish forever!

We had an amazing experience on our trip. Even though we were a bit early in the season and didn’t quite hit our limit, it wasn’t for lack of effort from Robert. He showed incredible dedication, constantly changing spots, techniques, and lures to maximize our chances. His knowledge of the river, the fish, and the local community is unmatched. Robert went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable day on the water.

Robert was outstanding. He took the time to teach us the right way to fish for salmon and never gave up, even on a slow day. He made sure we stayed out until we caught fish, which really set him apart. I’ve never had a charter captain quite like him, and I’ll gladly recommend Robert to anyone wanting to fish the Kenai.
