First time my dad and I fished for salmon in Alaska and we were not disappointed. Taylor was great and kept in communication with the whole time. Cole was our captain for the day and put us right on the fish. Our group caught our limit in less than an hour. But don't forget it is fishing and it's not like that every day! I can't wait to book our trip next year already!

Taylor saved our trip! We called Taylor yesterday after our original charter had a mechanical failure and had to cancel our trip last minute. Luckily there was an afternoon spot and he coordinated it over the phone right away. We spent a good four hours and caught a good amount of sockeyes even though this is our first time, thanks to Taylor and his team! Highly recommend if you’re in Soldotna/Homer area.

We booked with Taylor this last July and had a blast! Caught our limit in Reds! Watched the sunrise from the banks of the beautiful Kenai River! Lots of laughs and great fun! Such a memorable part of our vacation! Thank you Taylor from Crescent City!

Taylor saved our trip. The first time we went fishing we went out with a different charter and my friend didn’t catch any fish at all. Maybe it was bad timing but we called Taylor afterward and he got us in last minute and hit our limit within an hour of being in the water. It was also more fun because you get to feel the bite an all. 10/10 recommend. Also keep in mind my friend and I don’t fish at all but he kept us in the loop and helped us know what to do.
