โค๏ธ THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SEASON! โค๏ธ

As another fishing season comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

To every person who climbed aboard one of our boats this yearโ€”whether it was your first trip with us or you've been fishing with Pacific Salmon Charters for yearsโ€”thank you for choosing us. Thank you for the laughs, the early mornings, the fish stories, the full coolers and the memories made on the water.

To our captains and crewsโ€”thank you for the long days, ridiculously early mornings, hard work and dedication you put into every trip. You don't just take people fishing. You give them an experience they'll remember long after the fish is gone.

And then there are the Gudgells. โค๏ธ

For more than 40 years, Milton, Sarah and the Gudgell family have poured their hearts into Pacific Salmon Charters. Generations of anglers have walked through those doors, stepped aboard these boats and headed out on the Pacific because of the business and reputation this family built.

And Capt. Rob? Well...you know the rule.

We chase the bite. ๐ŸŽฃ

More than four decades of fishing.
More than four decades of memories.
And more fish stories than we could ever count.

From the Gudgell family, our captains, crews and everyone at Pacific Salmon Charters:
THANK YOU for fishing with us, supporting this family business and being part of the PSC family.

Until we fire those engines back up next spring...

Tight lines, friends. We'll see you on the water. โค๏ธ๐ŸŽฃ

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ OH. MY. TUNA.

Welllllโ€ฆ looks like the Katie Marie found โ€™em. ๐ŸŽฃ๐ŸŸ

Capt. Rob, Chili and crew apparently decided there was no need to leave any empty floor space today. ๐Ÿคฃ

That is a WHOLE LOTTA TUNA headed for some very happy freezers!

Fishing season wraps up September 30th โ€” and judging by this picture, the tuna didnโ€™t get the memo that theyโ€™re supposed to slow down.
