Monty

I can't express enough how great our day of fishing with you was. My Dad thoroughly enjoyed his day. I especially want to thank you for all of the knowledge you shared with us on fishing for Kokes. You, your boat and equipment are top notch. You certanly know where and how to find and catch the fish. My dad is already bugging me to book another trip with you.

Thanks again for great experience.

Monte:

Another super day of fishing today, this time at Melones for early limits of quality Kokanee salmon. You put Larry and I on the fish early and with several doubles the action couldn't have been better. Although we observed many other boats trolling in the area, we didn't see any other fish being netted, but through your thorough understanding of what is required in the way of tackle, lures, scents and frankly how to catch these great fish, we had unparalleled action and fun galore.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any of my friends. Your friendly yet confident manner, your knowledge and skills as a fisherman and guide produce results that have me coming back time and again for more fun and quality fishing experiences.

Monte, I can't say enough about the hours of fun you have given me and I thank you for sharing what you know, which has enriched my life as an angler. I look forward to our continued relationship as both my fishing guide and as someone who is a super friend too.

Monte:

I wanted to again thank you for the great day at Melones.

After seeing your operation first hand, I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of my fishing friends. You are a true professional, and your equipment and boat are first class. Your interest in making sure your clients get on fish, are comfortable and have a good time as well is obvious. Your knowledge of tackle and gear are very apparent to me, and you don't hesitate to share this information with those who are willing to listen.

Though this was my first trip with you as a guide, rest assured it won't be my last one.

Continued good luck to you!

Monte,

Wow!!!..... that's all I can say!!! Dude that was one hell of a day of Kokanee fishing!! I am hooked on Kokanee and your tactics! I tell you what ladies and gentlemen, if you want a highly professional guide who puts you on top of fish and hooked up quickly, Monte is your man! I'm predominantly a bass fisherman and I have never really took the time to learn more about downrigging and going after these wonderful fighting, and great tasting fish. Monte took the time to show my buddy and I the fundamentals, as well as the finer points of this type of fishing. I really had an opportunity to learn and I look forward to getting out in my boat and trying it out for myself. Drayton, your the man for bringing me out there bro! Thanks to both of you! Semper Fi,

Hi Monte,

We really enjoyed our outing last week. We not only had fun on Don Pedro-- we learned a lot about how to catch Kokanee. We were all pretty excited about all three of us catching our limit! Nice work, thanks for the great day -- we look forward to doing it again soon. Regards,

Monte,

Ralph and I sure did enjoy the fishing trip with you. We not only had a great time, But meet a great guy also.

When I got home my wife asked if we got rained out. " no were done two limits"

This was just not Ralph's day. He is really a good fisherman. He said "I don't know about those Kokanee. They make me look bad" that's funny. Anyway Thanks for the great time Monte and looking forward to seeing the pictures.
