Fishing trip of a lifetime!!

Full Day – Salmon Shared on July 9, 2025 • 2 adults

I have nothing but good things to say! Joe was fantastic from start to finish! He was communicating with my wife and I months before the charter all the way until the morning of the charter. Answered every question we had making this part of our trip very stress free! We had a great day on the water catching our limit of 10 hatchery raised coho salmon for the boat and releasing many wild fish. With only a few salmon left to finish our limit Joe used his local knowledge and went out of his way to give us a discovery channel experience! Birds diving, porpoises jumping, whales breaching, sea lions swirling and the best of all fish being caught! Joe was very accommodating to all of our needs in the boat and on shore. Once caught, our fish were immediately taken care of and put on ice for the best fillet quality. Our fish were cleaned and bagged for us on shore for a very reasonable price. Joe even shared some of his favorite recipes with us and the best ways to take care of our meat! Book this trip now before it is too late! You will not regret it. We will be booking again!

Great for a family outing

Half-Day – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on June 12, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

We had a group of 6 from 8 to 80. All different experience levels and we had a blast. My kiddo caught his first seconds into our first drift. Then was sea sick most of the rest of the trip. Joe did an amazing job making sure lines were in the water and the catch was being expertly taken care of all while making sure the little guy was as comfortable as possible. Book with Joe Great Guide, Great Guy, You would be lucky to spend the day with him

Half-Day – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on September 20, 2025 • 2 adults

We had such a great experience with Good Time Charlie Sportfishing! Captain Joe was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip both fun and relaxing. He knew all the best spots, and we ended up catching our limit of both fish and crab. It was one of those days where everything came together perfectly. Highly recommend Captain Joe and this charter if you’re looking for a memorable time on the water!

Half-Day – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on July 5, 2025 • 4 adults

We had an amazing ocean fishing trip with Captain Joe Schaumburg! He taught us how to target Lingcod and Rockfish, aka sea bass! Between our family of 4 and a lovely couple that were also aboard we caught 10 Lingcod, and 27 Rockfish. We would do this again, but maybe during salmon season, and with same Captain!
