We had a great evening fishing with Hoek Setter Fishing Charters. We quickly got to the fishing grounds after meeting up and getting on the boat.Our guide showed us some sea lions on the way. We quickly hooked into some salmon (wild weren’t in season) and had to release them. Not long after we started hooking some keepers. Our guide knew where to go to hook us up and kept our rods in the water. Beautiful place to fish, we will be back again.

We heard great things about Richard from Hoek Setter Fishing Charters and decided to give him a try. He’s an absolute pro when it comes to fishing. He’s super knowledgeable about the waters and the fish, and he’s always there to make sure you have a great time. He guides you all the way through the fishing process, from setting the line to reeling in the fish. We caught a ton of fish, and we’re giving him five stars all around. We’ll definitely be booking him again next summer! Thanks a bunch, Richard!

One of the best times that my son and I have ever spent on the water. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Richard. His impressive knowledge of the best fishing grounds had us onto fish within minutes of reaching our spot, including landing a 30LB Chinook with the second hookup. Experiencing Richard's passion for fishing, his expertise, and his infectious personality made us not want to get back to shore.
