My family highly recommends Kyle. My wife, daughter (7), and I truly had an awesome fishing experience with Kyle. Really a knowledgeable guide. We had never salmon fished before and his attitude, demeanor and personality was a great fit. Plus the fishing was on fire. His coffee is really good too!

My boyfriend and I are from Hawaii and he is an avid fisherman there. We decided we should try some mainland waters. The waters are very different from what we are used to and Kyle is a great teacher! It was definitely an amazing adventure! I highly recommend booking with him and we will be definitely be back for more!

This was such a fun experience. It was my boyfriends birthday and he’s been wanting to go fishing. We fished a few times this year and never caught anything! Each of us caught a fish on this trip! He is so kind and fun. Definitely booking again!

We chose the half day trip so we didn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn while on our vacation. It was a warm day, so we were hoping we had made the right choice. Apparently we did because both my husband and I were successful, as we each caught a Chinook salmon to take home with us. I also caught a “Jack” which we were also able to take home with us. Kyle was an excellent teacher, as neither us had ever fished for salmon before. He was also very knowledgeable, as well as, patient with us both. He knew the area so well, and even arrived early that day to do some scouting, to ensure that we would have a successful trip! I would highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for something fun to do on the Oregon Coast!

This was the best charter experience I have ever had, super fun and entertaining. It was so much fun I am already planning another trip.
