Current Season & Updates

April has arrived and that means so has Rockfish/Lingcod and Salmon fishing! Rock cod is our main fishery throughout the year lasting from April 1st-December 31st. We offer full day (7-8 hour trips) and in the summertime months we offer a shorter four hour trip in the afternoons as well. If you are traveling and unsure as to what to do with your fish-our deckhands can fillet your fish for you (for a fee) & you can take your fresh fillets over to our friends at Café Fina, who offer a “fresh catch” meal deal! For more information regarding this fishery please visit our “Trips” section.

Salmon season typically opens the first week of April and then the season can end anywhere between the end of April-August, depending on the current state of the fishery. Our trips target King Salmon and the limit is two fish per angler that must be at least 24in in length.

Crab season opens the first weekend of November 2019. Our crab combo trips will commence shortly after the season opener.
