Always have a GREAT time with Captain Tony. I think all I heard all day was "FISH ON". Never a disappointment. We went with 4 new comers and had a blast caught 13 fish total, with a 12 Laker, 10 pound Rainbow, and 10 pound King, 10 Coho, That's a great day of fishing.

What can I say about Capt. Tony??? Starting out, you think funny guy, next you're wondering why he's bouncing all over the boat, off of you and stepping on your feet. Next thing you know, he's got 10 lines in the water and he's prepping you for what to do. Now a fish is on and he's yelling commands throughout the process of landing a fish. As the morning wears on and the cooler fills up, you are gaining an understanding of how efficient and effective Capt. Tony is operating his boat, AND PUTTING YOU ON FISH AND GETTING THEM INTO THE BOAT!!!! THANKS TONY!!! DANIEL G.

Date August 2016 4 friends and I (all novices of lake fishing) booked a charter with Diamond Ghost for August 5th, 2016. We met with Captain Tony at 4:30 AM and he quickly got us onboard and headed into the lake. Within 30 minutes we had lines in the water and fishing began. The fishing ran hot and cool (they call it fishing after all, not catching), but it was a completely enjoyable trip as Captain Tony made every effort to find fish for us to catch. In the end we caught 15 fish in total, including Kings (one a 20 lb), Coho, Rainbow and Lakers. These catches produced over 50 lbs of cleaned fillets for us to take home and share. As an added bonus, Tony's wife Diane answers the phone and makes the reservations for your charter. There was no calling a charter outfit, leaving messages and waiting days for a return call. She answered my first call to Diamond Ghost and was a delight to deal with. She explained the procedure, answered all of my questions and then sent me maps and other useful information to make our trip better. Diamond Ghost gets an OUTSTANDING 5 Star Rating from us. We will be back Victor Balundis

What can I say about Capt. Tony??? Starting out, you think funny guy, next you're wondering why he's bouncing all over the boat, off of you and stepping on your feet. Next thing you know, he's got 10 lines in the water and he's prepping you for what to do. Now a fish is on and he's yelling commands throughout the process of landing a fish.
