jackAiIconJack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

James Blair consistently puts clients on fish across multiple Columbia River locations including Brewster, Drano, Bonneville, and Klickitat. Customers regularly catch trophy walleye up to 30 inches within minutes of arriving at fishing spots, along with salmon, sturgeon up to 8.5 feet, and catfish. His technical expertise with different fishing methods and knowledge of productive spots means groups often outfish other boats while filling their limits quickly. James brings infectious enthusiasm and determination to every trip, handling all the gear preparation, rod setup, and boat operations with a constant smile. He goes above and beyond by retrieving lost hats from the river, untangling lines without frustration, and remaining patient with beginners and kids. Customers return multiple times over several years and consistently book follow-up trips, with many noting his entertaining personality makes long days on the water fly by.

Trip - Weekday Columbia River Fishing Charter for Walleye, Salmon, and Sturgeon on November 6, 2025
Clock Icon 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM

James took me and two of my kids out fishing for coho and he got us on the fish right away. He was very friendly, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He definitely knows what he’s doing when it comes to fishing. He kept explaining what he thought the fish would do and he was right. My kids and I learned a lot in just a few hours of fishing with him. The fishing was hot, the conversation was great and we all limited out with very nice fish. If you’re looking for a great and knowledgeable guide and you want to catch fish, call James. We are already planning our spring fishing trip with him. Thanks again, James. Keep up the great work!

James is a professional, a real one. He tows his own boat, loads his gear, prepares the rods, is personable and funny, and you catch a lot of FISH! Our group of 6 could not keep up with the poles it was so wild. Our group has gone twice and James impresses every time. I lost my hat in the river, no problem James detoured to get it. We accidentally tangle our lines, no problem James is right there to straighten it. It’s not easy work and still James goes with a smile on his face full of determination to give his customers the best experience possible. I would recommend, I have recommended, and we plan to take another trip with him eventually. If you’re thinking about booking, do yourself a favor and just do it.

I’ve fished with James at Brewster, Drano, Bonneville, Klickitat and up here for eater and trophy walleye. I don’t believe we were ever out fished by another boat, which is great but more importantly, it was ALWAYS entertaining and a fun adventure. James has the “Go” to get it done. Nobody works harder than he does to achieve success for whoever is on his boat.
