WOW!!! We had an incredible two days of fishing with Fish Harder Charters! What an experience! The guides Ryan and Cody took us to the right spot to fish! Unforgettable memories, and we couldn't dream of better guides who know the best fishing spots! If you want to fish and have a blast, they are there for you! We are over the moon! 😁

Ryan was great, as our trip was initially scheduled for a time when the water was rough, and he suggested we postpone our visit. We fished for two days with Kevin. He is extremely knowledgeable and a very hard worker. He got us onto plenty of fish. He shared his knowledge with us, simple walleye fishermen! We are going to be enjoying halibut, salmon, lingcod, and rockfish for a good while.

When it comes to fishing, nothing is ever guaranteed, but choosing Fish Harder Charters guarantees you'll have a guide who will work their tail off to get you on fish. All the guides work as a team, take care of their clients, and are really very pleasant. I fished with Ryan and he is the best guide, and maybe even the best fisherman, I've ever met. He knows all the fishing spots inside out, understands fish behavior, and works tirelessly so his clients catch as many fish as possible.

Ryan gave us two unforgettable days on the water. He was great, keeping our lines in the water and constantly looking for fish. Plus, he gave us a warm welcome in his suite and went out of his way to help us fish the way we wanted to. Great days of fishing, with whale watching as an added bonus.
