I have spent four decades with a single-minded passion, and that is fishing.  I inherited my obsession from my father.  From the mountain streams and rivers of the Pacific Northwest to the open ocean, I have lived to fish.

        Along the way, I have found that the only activity better than catching a fish is helping someone else catch a one. That is why I guide.  There is no way to describe the excitement of putting folks on their first king salmon, giant lingcod, or huge halibut.  The smile is from ear to ear, you can almost see their hearts pounding through their chests, and their hands shake for an hour afterward in response to the adrenaline. The stories get told, and the  memories last a life time.

      In the salmon, we find an awesome blend of color, shape, and unbelievable speed and agility.  Hunting these creatures has been my absolute passion for over a decade, and blood on the decks is what I live for.

     Spend a day with Anacortes Highliner Charters and you will not only experience one of the most beautiful places on the planet, but I'll teach you how and where to fish for these incredible predators.
