Salmon Fishing

Salmon fishing trips are our most popular charter and typically last 4 to 5 hours. Salmon season runs from July 1st through September 30th we also get a winter salmon fisheries starting in January and going until the allowable quota is met. Depending on the time of year, the San Juan Islands provide opportunity to fish for five different species of salmon; pink, sockeye, coho, chum and the venerable chinook also known as King! These trips are not set on a schedule, but created with the best tide in mind.

Halibut Fishing

Halibut is a VERY limited fisheries, but if you're up for the challenge, it can be one of the most rewarding. Because of its limited opportunity we try and create every advantage possible on these trips. If you sign up, expect to fish all day. Although halibut is our main goal, we try and squeeze in lingcod if opportunity permits.

Lingcod / Bottom Fishing

How can something so ugly, taste so good? We start the day by fishing for sanddabs if you've never bottom fished. This allows you to get a feel for the bottom and to collect some bait. Once we've collected enough bait and you start getting a feel for the nuances of bottom bouncing, we move on to heavy gear and start targeting the Ling! The season starts May 1st and goes through June 15th. This is often a 4 to 5 hour trip. We do offer bottom fishing year round and target other species such as greenling, flounder and when in season, Cabezon. All species mentioned can be retained on the lingcod trips as well
