Captain Lyle was the best you could have asked for. We went straight to the fishing grounds in his well equipped vessel,  dropped off crab pots and then on out a little further. Then up the coast a bit and somehow he knew exactly where the fish were. We caught our limit in less than an hour all 3 of us. Back to the dock within 2 hours of leaving and came back a few hours later to ride out to get the crab pots. Took our 14yr nephew under his wing and had him learning the ropes right away. Captain Lyle is a great guide and I would recommend him to anybody wanting to have a great time going out charter fishing from Newport. We will be back!

The Captain is a very good Captain and knows where to take you. He is willing as well to keep you updated in case of weather changes and offers another day if possible. He really wants you to have fun and catch fish. He is all about safety and yours. He is understanding and will accommodate your needs if you need to go back due to sickness or other measures. I had a blast and caught all my keepers. I was rock fishing and he also offered to stay out to catch lingcod but the others and myself had enough and went back. I highly recommend the Captain and his boat. He is great at keeping in contact with you as well.

Captain Lyle made our experience so memorable. This was a birthday gift for my daughter and he helped her catch ALL the fish! Captain Lyle was so personable and experienced. I will definitely be out again fishing with my kids and will book through him directly. He made this trip amazing for us AND then Capt. Lyle cleaned and prepped all our fish for us, including letting us taking home his catch!!! I can’t say enough about him! Trust me, I never write reviews, but Capt. Lyle needs to know how amazing he is.

This was the first ocean fishing trip my boyfriend and I have gone on, and boy, the experience we had on the Prospector was phenomenal! Captain Lyle was the most incredibly friendly guy I’ve met in a long time. By the end of our trip, you wouldn’t have even guessed we were new to fishing for ocean fish. He was helpful and patient with us and made sure we were having fun. We will definitely book with Lyle again. What an experience.
