Daniel's Personalized Guide - Lookout Apartment

I have been fishing with Daniel for a number of years now, and can honestly say that he runs a first class operation. His boat is well maintained, clean, and very comfortable to fish out of. Daniel's knowledge of his fishery is incredible, and he is a fun guy to spend a day in the boat with. Julie, his deckhand, is awesome. She works hard, and has a great way about her. I look forward to fishing with them both again!

This is my third year fishing with Daniel and every year has been outstanding. We always manage to get some halibut and salmon but what sets them apart from others guides is their attention to detail. The boat is always clean, warm and ready to go. You're informed of the plan for the day, what the weather is going to be and what needs to be done when a fish is hooked. His first mate Julie has the rods ready and baited once you reach your destination and reviews what you need to do to land those fish. Like Daniel she's very personable which makes the day about as easy as it gets. I look forward to next Sept/Oct trip.

My experience with Daniel's Guide left much to be desired, primarily due to a combination of factors, starting with the surprisingly diminutive size of his boat. The vessel provided for the excursion felt uncomfortably small, more fitting for a personal outing than a guided adventure. This not only impacted the overall experience but also raised questions about the adequacy of resources within the company. Equally concerning was Daniel's demeanor throughout our interactions. His quick temper, reminiscent of a storm brewing on the horizon, made communication challenging. Instead of addressing queries with patience and understanding, his responses were often brusque and dismissive. It was evident that customer satisfaction took a back seat to his impatience, leaving a less than favorable impression. Furthermore, there seemed to be a pervasive focus on financial gain rather than a genuine commitment to providing a quality experience. The interactions left me with the impression that Daniel prioritized profit margins over fostering a positive and memorable encounter for his clients. This money-centric approach detracted from the supposed personalized nature of the guide. Adding to the disappointment was the subtle air of entitlement that surrounded Daniel. His features and demeanor hinted at a possible upbringing marked by privilege, possibly contributing to a lack of empathy and understanding for customer concerns. This, combined with a seemingly spoiled disposition, created an atmosphere that was far from inviting. In conclusion, my experience with Daniel's Guide was marred by a small boat, a short temper, a money-centric attitude, and a sense of entitlement. For those seeking a more fulfilling and customer-centric adventure, exploring alternatives might be a prudent choice. Daniel's Guide fell short of expectations, leaving me with a sense of dissatisfaction and a desire for a more enriching experience elsewhere. #googlereviews #served

The outdoors were beautiful, my fellow passengers were great, and the deck hands were all very helpful, and kind. However, the owner seemed to singe out a single passenger just because he made some amateur mistakes, even going as far as cursing him out publicly. Overall, the fishing was good, but I would not want anyone to have to be berated all the time by the captain.
