Outstanding charter. You can stop reading now, book, and I guarantee you'll have the time of your…read morelife. I truly can't imagine anyone doing it more right than Mike and Clark. They make a great team, provide the very best equipment, and do everything to ensure you have a whale (tuna?) of a time. We departed the port very early in the morning and proceeded to blast by all the other charters (including ones that started hours earlier) en route to the fishing. Nobody digs taking your time over the bar and their boat guarantees you don't. Upon hitting the fishing "grounds" (why do they call it that!?), we trolled around for about an hour, had a hit or two to tell us we were getting to the right area, and then suddenly all hell broke loose. The next hour or two was nonstop action with a fresh 25-35lb fish entering the boat every couple of minutes. All hands were tied up as we filled the boat in very little time. Based on radio communication, I believe that not only were we one of the first boats to the target water, but we were the first to find the fish, and I'm pretty certain the first to return to port. As much as I like boat rides, charter fishing is not about the ride, and both me and my body were happy to be back on land in the shortest amount of time. By 5pm our fish had been cleaned, packed, and we were on our way home. Everyone left with a filled cooler and a beaming smile on their face. Random notes: - Lunch and drinks are provided. - Bring your own cooler. - Wear sunscreen. - Wear rubber rain boots. - Overdose on dramamine or get your doctor to prescribe you "the patch" - Pack light - you really don't need much. - Save the drinking for the return. - Jackpole. - There will be blood.

A couple guys in our group were tasked with getting the packaging figured out. They were yelled at, disregarded, and told "our boat is coming in soon so we'll do yours when we get to it". The only person who helped answer a question was one of the guys cutting, the lady up front was nothing short of unprofessional. By the time we got fish back half of the packages had a broken seal. I understand they have a sign advertising fish cutting, if you only want to treat your charter clients then I'd suggest taking your sign down. Myself as well as the group of guys I was with are lifetime fisherman with a large network of people, we will not be recommending this charter or their additional services to anyone. Within an hour of getting back home I pointed a buddy of mine to coho charters and told them to have their fish packed at tre fin specifically because of this experience.

I was worried that the vibe would change after the new owners took over. I love you Kelly, but have…read moreto admit, the new owners (not so new anymore) are doing a GREAT job! They really are! They updated a few things, moved the office towards the front, and it just seems to be running really well (do I dare say better?). Everything else is great! We rented a boat and went crabbing. Only got 3 crabs this time, but it was still fun. It's just the idea of being out there that makes it so fun! We went on a rainy day so could not enjoy the view from our site since we had to stay inside the trailer. It's okay, it was still a great visit. I look forward to going again! Ha! I have to laugh, you know when you are tying reviews, you can see others to the right. I see that one of my friends wrote a review and pretty much wrote the same as I did in the 1st paragraph. That's funny. July 2025

Reasonable prices and sufficient service for the freshest crabs!!!!! Not a lot of shade and cover spaces so come prepared for the weather. I wouldn't recommend it during winter raining season. They have small campground onsite though it more to accommodate people renting or taking their own boat out to the bay for crabbing, not designed for leisure camping experience due to its location. It offers its own gift shop, and restroom. Limited condiments on tables. I came prepared with my own lemon/lime and knife.
