Had a great experience for my first time on a fishing guide! Was exactly what you would think it would be. The owner is an easy going person and a knows what he’s doing. The day was full of some nice size fish! All keepers, rods were bouncing left and right! Already planning another trip here soon.

I have fished my whole life and have fished with many different guides. I can honestly say Hal West is by far the best guide I’ve ever experienced! He offers a 1st class fishing experience. His kindness, patience and enthusiasm makes for a perfect day out on the water. I highly recommend his guide service to anyone!! Both boat and gear are excellent quality. Dewayne Ostby Republic Wa.

Top-Tier Experience with an Expert Guide! "We had an incredible outing with Halston. His boat is immaculate and features a heated cabin—a total lifesaver for warming up after a few hours of fishing on the windy deck. Halston’s expertise is unmatched. While other boats were struggling with 2 or 3 fish, we landed over 10! It was clear his prep work paid off; he scouted the area the day before to ensure we were on the bite. Beyond his technical knowledge of the local waters and gear, he is incredibly patient and spent time teaching us how to properly fillet our catch. He’s easygoing, professional, and genuinely invested in his clients having a great time. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!"

First of all, I’d like to thank Hal for one amazing fishing trip! He is by far the best guide services I’ve ever used. I hit him up last minute and he fortunately had availability to make a trip. It was like hanging out with a close buddy all day. Fishing was great and I got to take home some nice fish! If you’re thinking about taking a trip with him I’d surely recommend it!
