Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Dave consistently delivers exceptional results across multiple species, with customers regularly catching limits of Dungeness crab, halibut up to 40 pounds, lingcod, rockfish including 7+ pound vermilion, and salmon. His expertise shines through challenging conditions - whether pulling crab pots by hand when equipment fails or finding fish when others struggle. Dave's 30-foot vessel handles rough surf expertly while keeping passengers dry and comfortable. Customers consistently describe trips with Dave as feeling like fishing with a close friend or family member. His accommodating nature shows in waiting for weather to clear for first-time crabbers and being considerate when passengers get seasick. The boat features wheelchair accessibility and onboard facilities, making adventures inclusive for all abilities. Repeat customers call him "the only guy they'd trust on the big pond."

I highly recommend this service. The host was fantastic, creating a laid-back atmosphere with stunning scenery and impressive Dungeness crabs. Twelve crabs in just an hour? Absolutely true!

The weather was poor, and we didn’t catch any fish, but the boat ride was still exciting and fun. The captain was excellent, and the boat handling was top-notch.

Trip - Dungeness Crabbing Charter – Reedsport, Oregon on August 21, 2024

6:00 AM - 7:00 AM

If there was an option for 500% I would select it. Hands down a solid good person which we all know there is very few like him left. His boat is accessible to all including wheelchair bound folks. Bathroom on board and well you also get to spend an amazing day on the big pond with Dave.

Despite challenging conditions, Captain Dave managed to get us on some fish, and our group had an amazing time. He is fantastic to work with and maintains excellent communication throughout. The boat is new, very safe, and kept us dry even in rough surf. Overall, a great trip 👍

Captain Dave and his crew were outstanding—the boat was impressive, the bait top-notch, and their expertise unmatched. Captain Dave brought us straight to the perfect spot, where we reeled in halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and canaries. It was an incredible experience! I highly recommend it—truly unforgettable!

Trip - Lingcod Fishing Charter – Oregon Coast on June 1, 2024

6:00 AM - 2:00 PM

I recently had a great experience going out with Captain Dave and his first mate, Troy. My wife and I had four friends from my college days come from the East Coast to see beautiful Winchester Bay. Captain Dave was recommended to me and we had a very memorable day. He’s a skilled Boat handler and his beautiful 30’ vessel is rugged and comfortable. Dave and Troy are fun to be with and incredibly knowledgeable. We always felt safe. We caught lots of yellowtail rockfish and a couple canary rockfish. We harvested about a dozen crabs as well. We were treated very well and I plan on coming back to fish halibut in the near future, I hope, all of us enjoyed our experience. It was just what we needed! I give him a top rating!

You have to love Winchester Bay ..Captain Dave (Ocean Obsession Guide Service) graciously waited until the rain stopped at 2 pm for Cathy’s first ever crab trip..a 10 minute idle to the crab gear which happened to be only 100yds from our RV . His puller was down for repairs so he and I had to pull by hand ..2 fathoms (which in landlubber terms is 12 feet 😁)First pot had 30 very nice crab ...from legal to commercial grade.Back at the dock by 2:45..as usual Dave was great.like being on a friend’s boat .Again 100$ each for 12 crab each is a great deal! It was great to be able to cook crab and look at the buoys where we caught them

Captain Dave, got a last minute call from me to take my wife and brother in law out to fish for Salmon and to grab some crab. We all had a great time. He was so accommodating and friendly after the trip, we felt like we had gone fishing with a very close friend or family member. Our next adventure with Dave is going to include some of our sassy kids. Thank You Dave. we will be calling soon.
