Old fishing friends from around the USA booked with PCF based upon a friend’s recommendation. We wanted salmon. But Mark and mate Buddy said that was not their “program”. But they relented and we gave salmon a good shot after pulling their 3 crab pots with a great haul of crabs. No one was catching salmon and we didn’t either. Then we moved on to Mark and Buddy’s program and began catching, Ling cod, yelloweye, quill back, and cabezon. Mark and Buddy rigged, baited and coached with good knowledge and humor. Of course the beach launch and landing was a special memorable part of a Pacific City trip. Then back at Mark’s shop we met wife Linda who handled the business end and offered snacks while the crab cooked and Buddy cleaned our fish. We enjoyed fishing success, relative comfort in Mark’s boat, and PCF hospitality. This is a truly professional operation.
