 My son and I took my Dad out for his 76th birthday for a day on the water with Ken and Dallas. We had a wonderful time and caught five nice salmon when most other people were not catching much of anything. When most guides call it a day after 8 hours Ken continued to work hard to put us on the fish and did! He spent over 12 hours on the water with us and was always friendly, helpful and knowledgable. We have been spoiled and would not use any other guide!!

 My friend and I learned to fish on the upper Sacramento and we just figured on having a good time talking about old times and getting our lines wet.  Ken demonstrated his expertise by getting us a limit.  It was a beautiful day but started out raining.  That just served to cut down on the crowds.  Starting at 6 am we had 3 fish in the well by 8:30.  When the sun came out we enjoyed a variety of spots and my buddy and I talked about the old days.  Ken helped us put the fun back in fishing.  I tip my glass to riverpirates.  We had a blast.

 Pete and I had a great time taking our boys, J.B. and Nico out on the Sacramento with the Ken, The River Pirate!   Very relaxing and Ken and Dallas were great with the boys.  Ken also shared a lot of information about the river making it a very interesting trip.  In addition to 4 salmon, the boys were also given tips on bass fishing and a lure a piece to try out.  Thanks for your hospitality and we will be fishing again with the River Pirate!

 Hey Pirate...RRRRRRRRR

Just wanted to say me and Mike had another great time with you. When Fishing the Sac there's only one Guide on our Dance Card.

There is something to say about a Fishing Guide who can catch fish when no other guides that day caught any. Every boat we passed had no fish, we landed three and had several short-strikes. Obviously, the larger fish pods hadn't moved up river yet and the fish that were there were far and few between. But that didn't seem to matter, Kenny got us Hooked Up anyway!

For us, it's not all about fishing, its Atmosphere. It's very easy to warm up to Ken, he's got a great sense of humor and is very easy going. We laughed, joked and even took time out to go swimming(100+ degree's that day).

Another point that is worth praise is the fact that most guides have limits on how long they will keep you out on the river. I have fished with guides that, once your limit on the target fish was reached, you came home. And it's no fun traveling sometimes hours to go fishing, only to spend 2 hours on the water, then your done.

When you hire Kenny(The River Pirate), it's an "All Day Adventure"!! He is driven to give you every penny's worth. That, all by itself, keeps us coming back.

Thank you again Ken & Vicki for another Great Trip!!

Keep the 'Vicki Ann' warmed up and we will see you in a Month!

Best Regards,
Buck

 Dear Ken,
Thank you for a wonderful day of fishing!

The salmon that Dane caught was the centerpiece of a family dinner with Dane, his grandma, grandpa, aunt, cousins, and me.  The following day, Dane's aunt used what was left, in a salad for her friends.  Everyone raved about how good that salmon tasted!  
 
It was important to Dane to be able to bring home dinner and give his family something that was so appreciated and enjoyed.  But more important than the fish Dane caught, was spending the day fishing with the River Pirate. There is a sense of confidence, peace, and happiness in Dane when he talks about that day fishing with you.

You took the time to teach him about his passion (fishing), share stories with him, laugh and joke with him,and talk with him about life values.  You showed him a different way of being a man than he has seen before.  In you, he saw that a man could be sensitive, thoughtful, caring and in-tune with nature.  Rather than relating through competition, power, control, and possessions, Dane experienced how to relate through sharing, laughter, stories and mutual respect.  

As his mother, I could not give Dane what you gave him that day he fished with you.  Only a man like yourself could give a 15 year-old boy what you gave Dane that day - and - I AM GRATEFUL.

Truly, God works through you.  Dane's path in life will be different because it crossed yours.

Dane and I took pictures of our vacation together.  However, the day before he fished with you. our camera got wet.  The film was ruined and our camera didn't work anymore.  But the best picture of our vacation we have!  It is the picture that you took of Dane holding the 18 lb salmon he caught!  Dane was so excited to see his picture on your web site!  He has sent it to everyone he knows!
 
Dane is talking to his brother and brother-in-law and checking his school schedule.  As soon as he can figure the times that they can get away, we will call you about sturgeon fishing.  Thanks again.

Your friend,
Sherry Jackson

 Ken- We had a great time fishing with you and Dallas last Saturday on the Sacramento River.  It was a birthday treat I'm sure won't be forgotten for Anthony.  Your effort and knowledge was very much appreciated by both of us.  The thrill of hooking those salmon was awesome.  Thanks again and we will see you again next year.

 Hello Ken and Vicki,
My Dad and I just want to say thank you for a beautiful day of fishing on the lake.  You not only made sure we caught fish, important, but probably more important, you made sure we were comfortable, and enjoying ourselves too.  You are a true Professional!!  
Looking forward to our next trip.

Sincerely,
Michael and Wolf Newbauer

 Hello Vicki, Ken, and Dallas,
My wife and I would like to say thank you again for the great fishing experience on Wednesday, the eleventh of February.  Even though the fish were being really stubborn that day, we still couldn't find any dull or negative parts to the trip.  Everything from the organizing and planning to the launching and fishing was done perfectly and professionally.  I have paid alot of money for guided trips before, and I have to say, that none of my guides tried harder, knew more, or even compared to the excellent service that our guides Ken and Dallas provided to us.  We had such a good time and would like to say thanks again.  We will see you in June for some shad and striped bass, and again in November for the great King Salmon.  We will keep in touch, and probably even plan something in between for a little more fun.  Vicki, Ken, and Dallas are very nice people who know what they are talking about, and we are very excited to fish with them again.  Hope you can fish soon, Ken.

Natalia and Jared

 Ken (RRRRRRRRRRR)

I want to tell you that me and Mike had a great time with you on the River. Although, the heavy rains made fishing for Salmon impossible,(which you warned us about before we went) we just had to go anyway.

I have fished with many Guides, and not one has gone the lengths you did to get us fish. One of the very few who actually cared more about our trip, then getting paid. My Hats off to you Sir!!

I highly recommend this Pirate to anyone seeking more then just a fishing trip.
Fishing with you my friend, WAS an Adventure!

Thank You, Vicki and Ken, for a Great Time!!

Best Regards,
Buck & Mike
