I first fished with Phil when he was fresh out of Humboldt State and one of the top young guides…read morefishing for Gary and Bev Lindstrom's Smith River Outfitters in the late 80s. Phil soon started his own business. I have taken pictures of one his clients with a fresh 23-pound Smith River buck steelhead. I have caught many steelhead and salmon on both the Smith and Checto with him. My friend Rod Halperin won a belt buckle for biggest steelhead, a 37 incher, when we fished the Raider Derby with Phil. In the summers you can find Phil in Alaska fishing kings and silvers. I caught a 70-pound king on the Kenai with Phil and on one trip with Barry Brightenburg on the Kasilof Phil found us a dozen hookups on a single stretch as one boat after another went by as we rowed back to the top or put our rod tips in the water to hide the hookup. I know there are guides who know as much about the incomparably beautiful Smith as Phil. I don't believe anyone knows more. Want to have a good time with any guide? Relax, enjoy the ride, do what the guide says, and be ready for the next bite. It will happen.

Just when things got a little "sleepy" he would show us what a jet boat can do , always warning us to "hold on tight!"before whipping us round in tight circles,that had everyone on board giggling but not wet ! We took the 4o'clk trip.Oregon Wildfires made a red sun and added an overcast surreal light & mist and smoke to the scenery. Maybe causing some animals to be shy,,,, but , We saw lots of bald eagles & kestrels! Blue herons and white great egrets and several types of ducks & cormorants! Also the wild cattle , feral descendants from survivors of the flood of '64.We got very close to the enormous sea lions swimming in the estuary (where the river meets the ocean)along side the boat at the beginning of the trip as well ! CaptChris even told us why Blue Creek is so blue !!! The young gal that greeted us was also very Upbeat both days. When we first stopped in,she "sold us" on taking the trip , let us know the tour needed at least 8 people for a boat to "go"so we , as a couple,had to hop on with a bigger reserved group to have a"confirmed departure "She also told us about the Yurok tribe-run "shuttle " servicing the area ,that would come get us , where we were camping,(at Kamp Klamath Campground )and advised us to reserve a "return pick-up" time as well !

The Bout Time holds up to 6, but we were comfortable with 5 guys who travelled to Brookings from Southern Calif to northern Oregon. This time, Steve took the Lighthouse Trip $255 - an all day excursion to the light house, 12 miles off shore near Crescent City, CA. It was a beautiful sunny day with almost no wind out in the ocean. I dropped Steve off at the harbor at 6:15am, expecting to have the ENTIRE day to myself until, at 12:20pm, Steve texted me and said to get ready to come pick him up because everyone hit their limit and they were already heading back! I had just started a reply to ask if he got the "elusive" halibut (just joking), and before I could hit send, he texted me to let me know - YES - he caught a halibut! It weighed 35lbs and Steve said he arms were so tired from landing it, that he could barely hold it up for the picks (I will try to attach to this review later)! I joined them at the boat once it docked and with Matt's assistance, we watched Captain Rich expertly clean and filet all of the fish for us (one guy caught a 5' Wolf Eel, which he shared portions of with the rest of the crew. We haven't tried eating this yet, but are looking forward to it). Turns out that halibut has 4 filets, not just the normal 2, so we gave Captain Rich and Matt of of them to take home. We dropped the rest of the fish (over 21 pounds of Halibut, Ling Cod and Rockfish) at the local fish store in the harbor and they quickly vacuum sealed it for us for the trip home. While waiting for the fish, I noticed that the current retail price of halibut was $32.95 per pound, so I think we got our money's worth on this trip!!! We're here for 2 weeks so Steve has already booked a second reservation with Rich for another fishing trip before we leave. You won't be disappointed going fishing with Captain Rich and Matt - they know so much about all of the fish in the area (really interesting info) and you can just tell, every time they start to talk about the boat and this harbor, they LOVE to fish!!!!

Everyone was on the boat, and waiting for Captain Craig until 7:00 when he finally arrived. All 6 fisherman paid $120.00 for the trip. We went out fishing until 10:00 and the Captain said reel-in and we headed back to the dock. Not one person got their limit. I got 4 blacks my husband got two blacks 2 canaries and 2 blue's another man got 2 cod 2blacks and 1 blue. The limit is 10 person. When we got back to the dock the captain kept 8 blacks for himself. We were charged for a full day and only fished for 2 hours and travel time was 30 minutes each way. I feel totally ripped off. Don't go with Tally Ho II. He screwed all of us over. SUCH A RIPOFF!!!
