This was our first time ever fishing for salmon, and Captain Blake was beyond patient, kind, and helpful from start to finish. He answered every single question we had without a hint of condescension, in fact, I especially appreciated that he always checked in first to see if we already knew a technique or fact before explaining, making it feel like a true collaborative conversation rather than a lecture. His boat is fantastic and meticulously maintained; you can immediately tell how much pride he takes in his work. Whether you're looking for a quiet, peaceful ride on the water or someone great to chat with, he's totally adaptable and clearly puts his guests first. With over 20 years of experience, his expertise was obvious in every aspect of the charter, from his seamless rapport with his first mate to how expertly he put us on the fish. We learned so much and felt completely comfortable the entire time. We are already hoping to make this an annual tradition. If you're looking for a charter, look no further than Storm Force Fishing!
