Testimonials Our customers about us
Hi Sam, I have to say we all had a wonderful time….You have a jewel in Dan-the-man! He was the greatest – he did so much for us and I am very appreciative of his “going the extra mile†for us. Thanks, We’ll be in touch again. Karl Gregg, Vancouver BC 
Sam, on behalf of my brothers and I, I’d like to thank you for the fun of fishing with Salmon Eye. The trip was a 60th birthday celebration for our younger brother and he (and we) had a great time. Although the weather won out on the first day, we had a great time on days two and three. Simeon did a fantastic job as the skipper and helped us catch our limit. His attention to detail and sense of humor made the time on the water enjoyable.  We also enjoyed the dinner on our last night while there. If there is any way you could forward the recipe for the halibut appetizers, I would appreciate it. They were over-the-top good. Ralph Natale, Seattle Washington Testimonials on Video
