Legrand Baker5.0VerifiedGreat trip!!!
Half-Day – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on June 3, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childOceans conditions were not as good as hoped for, but we still caught several ling cod and limited on rock fish. Captain Joe did an awesome job teaching and encouraging the kids and adults. The boat was clean and tidy. He had all the equipment and tackle to keep us fishing. Definitely going to do it again when we’re back in the Oregon.
Brooke Smith5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water!
Half-Day – Lingcod/Rockfish Private on July 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenWe have a family of five, with kids ranging from 2 to 10. Captain Joe was phenomenal with our crew. We caught our limit of rockfish and some big Ling Cod! It was a great day and a lot of core memories were made! We would recommend this charter to everyone!
Jesus Ayala5.0VerifiedVery knowledgeable and down to earth fishing with Joe
Winter Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on December 29, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childI highly recommend investing your time and money to enjoy a full day of fishing with Good Time Charlie. Joe's intelligence and respect to the ocean is out of this world. Not one dull moment even when my nephews got sea sick and needed a nap, he still attended to them and made sure everything was ok then woke em up to reel in the fish. Gracias Senor for you hospitality and cant wait to fish with you again in the future.🙏🏽
Nate MulkeyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCool Captain!
Half-Day – Lingcod/Rockfish Shared on July 31, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childSuch a great time. The captain was great and brought his two daughters when our boat was short. so my 10 year old had instant friends. Very adaptable to try and get you some great fish if your location isnt hitting.

Michael Gray5.0VerifiedFishing trip of a lifetime!!
Full Day – Salmon Shared on July 9, 2025 • 2 adultsI have nothing but good things to say! Joe was fantastic from start to finish! He was communicating with my wife and I months before the charter all the way until the morning of the charter. Answered every question we had making this part of our trip very stress free! We had a great day on the water catching our limit of 10 hatchery raised coho salmon for the boat and releasing many wild fish. With only a few salmon left to finish our limit Joe used his local knowledge and went out of his way to give us a discovery channel experience! Birds diving, porpoises jumping, whales breaching, sea lions swirling and the best of all fish being caught! Joe was very accommodating to all of our needs in the boat and on shore. Once caught, our fish were immediately taken care of and put on ice for the best fillet quality. Our fish were cleaned and bagged for us on shore for a very reasonable price. Joe even shared some of his favorite recipes with us and the best ways to take care of our meat! Book this trip now before it is too late! You will not regret it. We will be booking again!
Cameron Allender5.0VerifiedAwesome Experience

Joe was attentive throughout the trip — communicated clearly, kept us informed, and consistently put us on fish. You can tell he knows his craft and takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable, skilled captain who delivers a great experience on the water.
