Mike is one of the top Steelhead Guides on the North Coast. His name is synonymous with the…read moresilver giants of the Smith River that enter every winter to the delight of angler's from near and far. Mike also specializes in fishing the Klamath, Eel, and Oregon rivers like the Chetco for Steelhead and Salmon. I've been fishing with Mike religiously every year around New Year's for almost 15 years. He's always put me on fish and moreover, is a hospitable, pleasant, and very professional guy with endless patience and a great sense of humor. If you are a Steelhead or Salmon fanatic (as I am), you owe it to yourself to book some river time with Mike. You will not be disappointed.

I went hiking here last weekend, and it honestly took my breath away…read more As a SoCal girl now living in NorCal, I've made it my mission to explore as much as I can around this beautiful state, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods completely stole my heart. These trees are absolutely massive, walking among them feels like stepping into another world. The light, the air, the silence... everything feels calm, ancient, and sacred. The trails are super well maintained, the weather was perfect, and there was plenty of parking even though it was busy. The roads and trails are a bit narrow, but honestly, that just adds to the charm. The river that runs through the park is crystal-clear and peaceful a perfect little spot to stop and take it all in. Standing next to those giant redwoods makes you realize how tiny you are in the best possible way. It's humbling and magical at the same time If you're driving from Eureka toward Crescent City, the entire drive is breathtaking, every curve along the coast looks like a postcard. You'll even pass through Elk Valley, and oh my god, there are actual elks just hanging out by the side of the road! They're so beautiful and so used to seeing people; it felt like nature welcoming you in. If you love hiking, nature, or just want to feel grounded and amazed, this place is a must. California, you really outdid yourself with this one.

Just when things got a little "sleepy" he would show us what a jet boat can do , always warning us to "hold on tight!"before whipping us round in tight circles,that had everyone on board giggling but not wet ! We took the 4o'clk trip.Oregon Wildfires made a red sun and added an overcast surreal light & mist and smoke to the scenery. Maybe causing some animals to be shy,,,, but , We saw lots of bald eagles & kestrels! Blue herons and white great egrets and several types of ducks & cormorants! Also the wild cattle , feral descendants from survivors of the flood of '64.We got very close to the enormous sea lions swimming in the estuary (where the river meets the ocean)along side the boat at the beginning of the trip as well ! CaptChris even told us why Blue Creek is so blue !!! The young gal that greeted us was also very Upbeat both days. When we first stopped in,she "sold us" on taking the trip , let us know the tour needed at least 8 people for a boat to "go"so we , as a couple,had to hop on with a bigger reserved group to have a"confirmed departure "She also told us about the Yurok tribe-run "shuttle " servicing the area ,that would come get us , where we were camping,(at Kamp Klamath Campground )and advised us to reserve a "return pick-up" time as well !

My husband went fishing yesterday on the "'Bout Time" with Captain Rich Signorello and his awesome…read moredeckhand (and son), Matt (first trip was in 2021). The Bout Time holds up to 6, but we were comfortable with 5 guys who travelled to Brookings from Southern Calif to northern Oregon. This time, Steve took the Lighthouse Trip $255 - an all day excursion to the light house, 12 miles off shore near Crescent City, CA. It was a beautiful sunny day with almost no wind out in the ocean. I dropped Steve off at the harbor at 6:15am, expecting to have the ENTIRE day to myself until, at 12:20pm, Steve texted me and said to get ready to come pick him up because everyone hit their limit and they were already heading back! I had just started a reply to ask if he got the "elusive" halibut (just joking), and before I could hit send, he texted me to let me know - YES - he caught a halibut! It weighed 35lbs and Steve said he arms were so tired from landing it, that he could barely hold it up for the picks (I will try to attach to this review later)! I joined them at the boat once it docked and with Matt's assistance, we watched Captain Rich expertly clean and filet all of the fish for us (one guy caught a 5' Wolf Eel, which he shared portions of with the rest of the crew. We haven't tried eating this yet, but are looking forward to it). Turns out that halibut has 4 filets, not just the normal 2, so we gave Captain Rich and Matt of of them to take home. We dropped the rest of the fish (over 21 pounds of Halibut, Ling Cod and Rockfish) at the local fish store in the harbor and they quickly vacuum sealed it for us for the trip home. While waiting for the fish, I noticed that the current retail price of halibut was $32.95 per pound, so I think we got our money's worth on this trip!!! We're here for 2 weeks so Steve has already booked a second reservation with Rich for another fishing trip before we leave. You won't be disappointed going fishing with Captain Rich and Matt - they know so much about all of the fish in the area (really interesting info) and you can just tell, every time they start to talk about the boat and this harbor, they LOVE to fish!!!!

Everyone was on the boat, and waiting for Captain Craig until 7:00 when he finally arrived. All 6 fisherman paid $120.00 for the trip. We went out fishing until 10:00 and the Captain said reel-in and we headed back to the dock. Not one person got their limit. I got 4 blacks my husband got two blacks 2 canaries and 2 blue's another man got 2 cod 2blacks and 1 blue. The limit is 10 person. When we got back to the dock the captain kept 8 blacks for himself. We were charged for a full day and only fished for 2 hours and travel time was 30 minutes each way. I feel totally ripped off. Don't go with Tally Ho II. He screwed all of us over. SUCH A RIPOFF!!!
