Anglers regularly land impressive catches, with trips producing 8-20 sturgeon per outing, including massive fish ranging from 4-7 feet that provide incredible fights.

Bill was very knowledgeable about the river and place finding fishes. Helped us to understand the many different ways to fish and catching. We lost some bites but got our limit today. Great experience and will return. Thank you Bill for the opportunity.

We left at daybreak. It was overcast all day and choppy, the fish didn't bite well that day, but we were rewarded by seeing pelicans of course, porpoise, sea lions and harbor seals, humpback wale. We realed in a handful and it's a workout. What a wonderful time. Thank you Captain BJ and great stories....

We did the 4 hour morning trip. Billy was great on the water. Knew what he was doing and had us on fish right away - within minutes of getting first rod set. It was a great experience for me and my two teenage sons. We caught our limit of salmon after about an hour of fishing. Thank you Billy! Also, best of luck to you in your upcoming hunting seasons.

The captain was highly knowledgeable and had a strong network of local fishermen to gather insights. Some of the sturgeon were massive and gave an incredible fight. It was an awesome day on the water!

My 14-year-old son and I joined Billy for a half-day trip on June 8th, and we had an amazing time. My son caught several sturgeon, making it a fantastic experience! If the fish weren’t biting in one spot, Billy quickly moved us to another where they were. I highly recommend this trip!
