Dustin is a very knowledgeable fisherman. He is also great at communicating and keeping you updated on fishing in the area. I would recommend Captain Dโs.
Thanks Jeff. You guys were the type of guests every guide dreams of. Easy going and relatable!!! Hope to see you guys again some day!!
Iโm not sure if these pictures uploaded correctly but just wanted to say how much we loved our trip out on the Kenai with Dustin. He was friendly and fun. He knew how bad I wanted to find a king salmon even though the numbers werenโt high and HE FOUND ME SOME BIG ONES!
Definitely recommend booking with Dustin! Had such a blast. Canโt thank the crew enough for amazing memories and laughs. Everyone was super humble and helpful. Made us feel comfortable from the day we booked. Dustin reached out several times in advance before the trip. We started the day off by not following directions and ended up showing up an hour and a half late, thankfully the crew patiently waited for us and didnโt leave! Professionalism was a dandy! Can honestly the BEST fishing experience weโve had in Alaska!

Thanks!! Hope you guys can make it back. Always welcome in my boat.
Dustin was ok. Nice guy, Went fishing on spots that everyone else fishes. Caught nothing. Now to be fair. I should of been told that commercial fishing started a day before my trip. Dustin said commercial fishing in entry to river really took a lot of salmon from moving up river and fish were sparse .ย This is July ,ย salmon should be everywhere. If your going to go fishing check to see about commercial fishing first. I would of easily changed dates. I know itโs fishing but very disappointed.
I didnt see anyone else sockeye trolling. Yeah it was slow. But no one else was doing it.. dont understand how thats taking you to where everyone fishes. I decided to switch gears and try flipping for reds. Yes its july, yes its busy. There are no secret sockeye spots on the lower kenai river.ย Everyone knows every spotโฆwe were extremly lucky to get the spot we didโฆ When you initally booked i did try to move your trip to later in the week. And you had other things booked couldnt swing earlier or later. Sorry i couldnt magically make 50000 reds come up the river. If you ever decide to come back use the alaska department of fish and game website and look at the fish counts for 2nd run sockeye salmon on the kenai river and that should give you a better idea of when to book

Dustin does a great job trying to find fish.ย We had a good time and will go back again. Enjoy his energy and experience. Carl Cascio
