Ratings & Reviews Summary

We arrived and were greeted by the captain, who informed us that fishing was a bit slow due to the unseasonably warm and calm weather. He mentioned that he had been in touch with other captains to discuss the best plan of action. The boat was clean, well-organized, and equipped with great gear. Once we were out on the water, the captain set up the gear with a positive attitude, and his humor kept everyone in high spirits—we had a lot of laughs throughout the day. The fishing picked up quickly, and we caught 3 very nice-sized steelhead and 1 smaller one. Although we hooked into two other big fish, they unfortunately got away. We also caught 4-5 smaller salmon, two of which were of legal size to keep. The captain immediately released the undersized fish. I would definitely book again and the captain suggested coming earlier in the season, as we were at the tail end of the peak fishing period.

I had a great time fishing with Craig at Cranks Charters. We found fish soon after leaving the marina and successfully caught Kings and Steelhead. Craig was knowledgeable, friendly, and put in a lot of effort to make sure we had a good trip. I highly recommend booking with him.

Fished Aug 27 with Captain Kurt and his wife Tammy, found them very gracious, accommodating, and NOT in a rush. Put us on the fish pretty quickly and had 5 on at one time (talk about crazy!) All 5 were landed! Very nice boat and tackle...would highly recommend Captain Kurt and Stalker fishing! PS: The rods, reels and lines were matched appropriately for fighting and not just (hogging them in). Thanks for great time Captain!

Booked a trip for my husband, father, and father-in-law. They had a great time. Captain was very knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure they were catching fish. Brought home a boat load of fish that were filleted for us. Would recommend!
