Ron and Hunter run a clean and professional boat. Ron is a very knowledgeable captain. He took my friends and I out for a day of halibut fishing and made sure we all hit limit. (3 halibuts per a person). Ron and Hunter were very helpful and made sure we had the best experience . Hunter cleaned and bagged our fish for us. Definitely booking with Ron in the future.
