The McBride party of Jerald McBride Jr., Jerald Sr., and Shawn Wilson were our last clients of the season and fished with Captain Cobra September 6, 7, and 8.

Irene and Rick Kratz of California and Jeff and Kitty Holten of Minnesota recently fished with Captain Tom and experienced the phenomenal coho quality that’s been consistent the entire month of August.
