John Keizer
Captain John Keizer, a well known outdoor writer for local fishing magazines, newspapers and national sport fishing publications, is best known in the Northwest as a lecturer at events such as the Seattle International Boat Show, Northwest fishing clubs, International Sportsmen’s shows, and as a host/organizer of salmon fishing classes and seminars from Canada to Oregon. He owns and operates the SaltPatrol.com website specializing in low cost destination trips to top fishing areas around the globe.
John began his fishing career at age 14 as a deckhand on the Westport charter fleet. Years on the ocean fisheries sparked his love of big game sport fishing. While serving in the Navy, he pursued billfish in exotic locations such as Ausrtalia, New Zealand, Fiji, Mid Way Island, Tonga, Hawaii and other locations around the South Pacific.
After returning to Washington, John devoted his time to fishing the waters of the Northwest, Alaska and British Columbia. His love of the sport and his concern for its preservation led him to become a founding member of the Gig Harbor Puget Sound Anglers chapter where he served as its first president and on the Puget Sound Anglers State Board for several years.
Captain John and his wife, Norine, currently reside in University Place, WA where he is regularly featured on local radio and television shows promoting salmon and tuna fishing opportunities. He holds a USCG Master License, belongs to the National Charter Boat Association, and is an International Game Fish Association (IFGA) Certified Captain. He also holds current memberships in the Northwest Outdoor Writers Association and the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
