William was a wonderful guide. He mentioned that this time of year was a bit harder to get on salmon but he made every effort to try to get us fish. Unfortunately we did not get salmon, but he had crab traps that we checked before and after we went out. They have plenty of crabs and I was able to limit out on those. He had great music and lots of info about the area. We saw seals too! I’d definitely recommend him as a guide!

Captain William gave us a great day! We went out at 6 am and it was a bit breezy, but he knew where to take us for salmon. On our way out, he pointed out a bald eagle flying next to us and a couple of feet above the water looking for fish. He had great stores and we had lots of laughs. When we had “fish on” he was quick to take action, letting us reel and bring in the fish, and being at our side for assistance with the net. He put out the crab trap and we caught lots, but for us they were all female and had to go back. He cleaned our fish and set us up to take them to a packing shop for transportation. We would go out with Captain William anytime!

This is one of the precious few charters I have found on-island that will take single bookings and it was great to find! I was actually a little late to meet the Captain and he was very kind and accommodating about that. We went out fairly early in the season, cast for salmon and ling-cod and no big catch to report, but we did set crab traps and came back to find them full and I was given all the crabs fit to keep cleaned and packed in a cooler which was amazing. The captain and his first mate, Lucas were very warm, super-friendly and experienced with guiding. They were sure to point out and name all the abundant wildlife we passed. He has lots of solid fishing equipment and keeps it all top notch it is all new or like new condition. The boat is a sturdy no-nonsense fishing boat in good shape and it handles the currents and swells very well.  I was very impressed with this charter, every consideration for safety was given. I was shown where all the emergency equipment was on board, shown how to understand the fish finding equipment; honestly I felt like a special guest onboard as I was casting, and left the experience feeling like a friend. I would love to go out with Captain William again the next time I am out this way. I would highly recommend this charter to any small group and particularly solo fishermen and females like me, don’t be daunted by the challenges of fishing the PNW just get out there and try your hand at it. Thank you, Captain William and Lucas, for a wonderful experience.

When I arrived at the marina the ocean was pretty choppy. William gave me the option of going out another day. I could not change my plans as the rest of my time here was booked. I ended up catching a nice wild salmon and we trapped a bunch of crab. I had a great day with William on his boat. I would for sure give him a ring next time I am on the island.

By far the most exciting venture in a long time.  Excellent laid back captain, he took us to see the lighthouse,  we saw 2 whales, sea lions galore.  We caught our limit and crab too.  The weather was perfect.  The best day ever.
