Testimonials

Toni S.

Matt and Lisa gave us an experience of a lifetime. It was my first time pacific halibut fishing and not only did they make me feel totally comfortable like I’ve done it before the atmosphere was enjoyable and always good vibes and smiles all day. Oh ya we limited out and caught two 35 pounders

Michael T.

I’ve been fishing for over 60 years from Baja, San Diego, Morro Bay, Alaska, and have to say that my experience with Matt and Lisa Dallam of Northwind Charters is the best. They took care of the passengers in every way possible. They are friendly and professional. The fish was bled and chilled immediately. The fish was in great shape when I got home two days later. I plan on going with them again.
