We put together a family fishing trip, and we had a few first timers with us. The weather and sea state was great for fishing. Captain Tuk did an awesome job with teaching a few techniques on how to catch fish. Our first timers were the first and last to catch fish at every fishing spot, we had an amazing time. We are making plans for a different trip.
Took grandsons and son-in-law out for a day in the water. What a great day ! Plenty of sun, laughs and fish. Justin was a great captain .
All four of us had a great time and the fishing was excellent! Captain Josh was very helpful when we got a couple tangled fishing lines, very efficient cleaning the fish ( almost caught our limit) we got to see some whales, breaching, and lots of seals in the water. I give the fishing charter a five star rating!
